Totally agree with you. They should build a brand new city elsewhere, rather than rebuilding the old one. That area is just going to get reflooded again and again. Doesn't make sense to rebuild it there.

This would be a good opportunity for us to build a city as modern as one of China's brand new ones, with all the hightech advances some of their new buildings have.

If an earthquake striked San Francisco and wiped out all of the buildings, I would bet you many people would jump at the opportunity to have a city built elsewhere, away from earthquake zone.

Imagine a new city built from scratch, with good city planning, and better transportation lines and better traffic planning and better buildings equipped with modern high-technology.

edit: On a different note, what's up with our govt not sending a platoon of helicopters to drop off airborn food/water supplies to the starving people? How strange our govt can't even drop off supplies from the air, when our govt does this overseas all the time.
