And yet we continue to fill in the bay, and build close to it, and wonder why there is any flooding. Might we take a lesson from Amsterdam and other cities dealing with tidal issues, flood plains, and less than sea level building?

We do build too close, and one can argue we are provoking dear Mother with continued dependence on fossil fuel leading to sea rise, but I'm not sure the following is still accurate:
"And yet we continue to fill in the bay"
What's that last major bay fill project? I thought the last major attempt was SFO in 1998-ish.

We haven't.

What's the status of the humongous Cargill saltflats development proposal? Redwood City was gung ho about that idiotic plan, seeing only tax dollars in their future. Last I heard others in the region who were alarmed by its environmentally destructive potential were going to have to rely on regional agencies to put the brakes on it.
Is the proposal still alive? If so, that's sterling example of what Rory was talking about. Even if Cargill is walking away from it now (which I don't think is the case), it's still an example of how the elected officials and paid staff of RWC are willing to approve such a stupid project.
