Ocean and Floodplain Dwelling

From a coastal city, we understand how rough the sea and the wave can be, especially the typhoon season.  I don't understand why would anyone want to live right on the coast and the river.  Especially the sea, the salty moisture is heavy and sticky and bad for everything that stands in its way, including buildings, cars, railings.


Regardless of climate change and rising sea level, why are we 'surprise' that water are unforgiving and will reclaim the land and take everything with it?  Why are we 'surprise' when the land erodes away by the flowing water, waves and currents?


Australia and New Zealand should just open the doors to all the South Pacific neighbours.  In turns, maybe the Australian government can invest in their concentration refugee camp in these remote islands rather than Cambodia.
