What if we just keep the port and relocate the rest of the city? It's not that you need hundreds of thousands people to run port facility. Damn, if you even need 500.

There's also one of, if not the, largest petrochemical manufacturing corridors as well. Tens to hundreds of billions of dollars of GDP.

How about you guys just pay the money so you can keep your gas prices low, GDP up, and imported goods flowing to your house?

That's sounds like something that can be easily relocated to Texas.

To noted non-flooding at all cities Houston and Galveston?

[nickthemagicman]

Yeah but it's not there? Why not relocate Wall Street to Cleveland? Or Silicon Valley to Pittsburg?

Why not just relocate silicon valley to Pittsburgh where rents are cheaper?

Problem solved!

So much plain and simple arrogance and ignorance in this thread. Mind blowing.

14 bil year is a bargain for what this city provides.
