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.

These modern high rises at the beach are built so strongly that they
might be the only thing left after a hurricane.
They are on pilings that can be 50-60 feet deep and the bottom 14' or
so is designed to blow out. The beach may wash away but the condo will
still be there.
This isn't even a condo but it was built to the 150 MPH code and the
neighbors weren't. (Hurricane Rita, Gilchrist, Texas)

Reminds me of Biloxi after the 1965 hurricane Betsy. Pop's was a place
with great fried oysters and chicken. It was gone after the hurricane.
Was a nice restaurant close by. It was still there with no tables or
chairs. No class, as the lower floor was open after the windows went.

This is in an underground garage on the ocean.

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

There are stairs down to Black's Beach (not that I've ever been there).
