Nothing a few levees and windmills can't fix. Or we could make Miami be like Venice. Hmmm, that will be interesting to see what happens.

No expert! It seems to me tho it would be most prudent to locate a fab on or near the center of a tetonic plate, well above sea level.
As I understand it, the plates constantly rub against one another. When too much pressure builds you get an earthquake apon release. In the intrim the grinding effect causes vibrations that, it would seem to me, would raise heck with lithography.

In Hudson, MA which has stable geology in a relative sense, the volume of concrete that went into the last fab was immense for that very reason.
