So I guess a bit of confusion around this whole design... Lots of these are being built with the riches of oil / fossil fuel profits. Being built to withstand a mag 9.0 EQ is cool too...

But, don't these folks realize the sea levels may be rising?

No, they all watch Fox news, which has debunked all the climate change propaganda.

Azerbaijan is on a fault-line, so the earthquake resistance is a great addition. Much more attractive than the oil rigs as a sea-side view now. Sea-level may be rising, but the Caspian Sea is shrinking.

Its called ghetto rich. Its the same reason you have 20" rims on a $1000 dollar car by a person living off food stamps.

There's a great power in words, if you don't hitch too many of them together.

lol at not knowing where Azerbaijan is geographically before making assumptions about the builders knowledge.

I'll admit, I did not know the Caspian sea level was falling. That is interesting, thx.

I used to work in Azerbaijan, so it was something I picked up on my travels.
