Unfortunately this article really smells like a PR article (http://paulgraham.com/submarine.html) and the author's other works only support that (http://curbed.com/authors/patrick-sisson).

I would love to read an actual investigative article on engineering efforts to adapt to California's (probably) changing climate.
