is this the only way to protect coastal property from flooding, to try to control the sea? Have they ever heard of land reclaimation, water management, dams, etc.?
This is like trying to cool down the earth's weather for a cold beer, then the next moment trying to create a hot summer day for a warm soup. As if there were no refrigerators or cooking stoves, as if we would have to capitulate to nature.
