Rapidly expanding establishments at the shoreline is just another example when relative short-term human actions bear great risks on the geological long-term scale.

In an environment where exposure to risks is more frequent, people will adapt to that risk. This explains why Amsterdam is mentioned in the study as a city with an extremely high exposure to flooding, but a really low estimate of estimated losses.
