Would they bother rebuilding San Francisco and California?


If something like this did ever happen, any point of rebuilding on the west coast?

reply

any point? i mean, other than California having the highest GDP of all the states in the country, almost equal to the sum of #2 (Texas) and #3 (New York), i think there might be a reason to lol.

I think the question is: why would you rebuild a city on top of a major, active fault after it was completely destroyed with millions killed.

It's a good question, I wouldn't. At least build it somewhere slightly safer.

Ask New Orleans.

New Orleans population is still down.

Different thing. One is sky falling on your head, the other a hole opening under your feet. One might happen, the other will.

Sell it to China. LOL!

They do have nuclear Reactors on the San Andreas Fault line.

They should have had a Lex Luthor cameo at the end saying: Finally! And then have the camera pas a large field filled with a hundreds of construction vehicles emblazened with Luthorcorp logos.

Rebuild starting with a new city called Otisburgh.

There is no sensible reason for there to be a medium sized city where Los Angeles is, let alone a Los Angeles-sized city, and yet, there it is.

So is their any point in rebuilding? Not particularly.

But would they rebuild? Absolutely.

Sure, and they would de-construct cities on the East Coast to get the building materials.

Of course. Survivors may salvage what's left, and start over.

They would rebuild as a big "F.You!!" to Mother Nature.

While you can understand the sentiment, that wouldn't be exactly smart. It would only be asking for the same thing to happen all over again, with similar tragic consequences.

If your hand was forced by events, and you had the chance (necessity) to start all over, why wouldn't you choose a better location, with the increased knowledge of geography we have now that we didn't have when LA first grew?



You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

reply

It would depend on where several million survivors plan on staying.

reply

The cities would be rebuilt, but not at the same locations because it would probably take a full decade if not longer to clear all the rubble.
The new cities would also probably not be as big and as grand as before seeing as half if not 3/4's of the population are dead and/or would leave

It would be interesting to see what would happen if this level of catastrophe actually happened.
