My province, all below sealevel:

Have to have flood insurance? I don't think I could depend on the pumps but then again in this age we all depend on some tech
40% of our country is below sealevel. Including the biggest cities. And the oldest polders (land needing constant draining) are from centuries ago. 14th century at least.
I guess it sounds dangerous to you,
But some people live in areas with high eartquake rates. Would seem very scary to me.
Others have dangerous snakes in their gardens.
I live below sealevel.
And feel safe enough.
