Huh, most of williamsburg seems in tact. It is greenpoint that is flooded. Why do people hate on hipsters? Are you all 12 years old?

"you're likely to be dead by 2100" What?!?! Why must you be so pessimistic?

Good resaon to build "senior housing" on the Gowanus Canal at Public Place! And while we are at it, Gowanus Village Homes? Anyone out there shopping for a new place to live along the Gowanus? Finding anyone home owners insurance policies these days? The smart planners for Whole Foods on the Gowanus plan flood retainig wall and a flood gate--is that to let the flood waters in to mix with the storm waters running down from Park Slope?

New York levees. Just make sure we do it ourselves instead of letting the Army Corp of Engineers do it. They don't inspire a lot of confidence after the way they "protected" N'awlins. Either that, or just waterproof the lowest two floors of each building and turn this into New Venice.

"New Yorkers who prize living in affordable housing." new yorkers and affordable anything don't belong in the same sentence. 2100, you say? I'll be dead.

Looks like almost all the hipster enclaves are going down! Though I am sure many will be found rowing their vintage(with little ironic patches covering the holes)inflatable floatation devices, rushing to colonize nearby dry areas....

New York University's colony of buildings continues to flood the city, too, which is just as dangerous to the health of New Yorkers who prize living in affordable housing. Looks like we need a greedy N.Y.U. dormitory FLOOD MAP - - and how could we get such an item, I wonder? - Come up + see Mae: http://MaeWest.blogspot.com - -

Nobody will be flying in or out of NY 'cause according to that map both LGA and JFK are completely submerged! Maybe LGA can become a cruise ship dock.
