But if you happened to have home in Richmond, BC, Canada that is in average 2-4 meters below sea level ... surrounded by those toy-dykes ...

Just wait for flooding / earthquake to happen. Wondering what those naive Chinese investors would do.

Just for the information about Richmond, BC: 10,000 houses are investment properties (stay empty) in the city of 160,000 residents. If to assume that each house is a living place for at least 4 people then it means 25% percent of its population has gone somewhere. 40,000 of Canadians were forced to live somewhere else, down in US presumably.
