Interesting and disheartening. Not sure why Charleston spent so much time listening to the Dutch experts and then aren't following their advice.
You've been here long enough to know that the whole area is just waiting for someone else to write the check. You'll have ocean front property at Marion Square and they'll still be arguing taxation in Columbia.

Lol, but couldn't they follow the Dutch recommendations AND still try to get someone else to write the check? ("someone else" = Federal Gov)
You assume the Dutch recommendations were viable in our environment.
Well I would like to think the Dutch experts would take into account the differences in the lay of the land here. Otherwise the entire process of bringing in experts would be pointless.
I used to live right by the water in Wagener Terrace. It's a shame that there will be a wall, possibly as high as 8 feet, blocking off the views of the marsh. Of course, our salt marshes will also be dying by then or migrating onto people's previously dry property.
On the other hand, we could make it a lot better by actually having leadership who listen to science and don't call everything inconvenient to them a hoax. My 2 cents.
I'm wondering how much the current Charleston harbor dredging is going to have an impact on the tide levels moving forward? Wouldn't the reduction in all of the sand on the bottom of the harbor essentially lower the levels of water?

Seriously?
