It would be interesting to see what happens the first time the water

Just because you can do something, doesn't mean it is a good idea.

I suppose we will have a law against it as soon as it fails.

They are everywhere by the water. They must have some serious pumps in
case of a tidal surge.
Maybe you don't understand what a surge is. No pump in the world is
going to stop the ocean if the entrances to that garage go under.
Doors won't do much either.
You only have to look at what happened to the subways in lower
Manhattan to see that. That was not a direct hit, nor actually even a
hurricane.


That would be from a hurricane and ground-level areas would be destroyed,
too. Here's an interesting story I read today:

This is in an underground garage on the ocean.

Yup, in the ocean. But La Jolla is about 200' above the sea. Cliffs.
