It’s not difficult to walk away from an ocean? Please explain New Orleans.
Are you under the impression that climate change rise in ocean level will look like a dike breaking? All references to sea levels rising are reported at less than 1 cm a year, but lets say that rises 100 fold to 1 m/yr. New Orleans flooded a few meters in at most a few days, about 1 m/day.
A factor of 365 in rate could well be the subtle difference between finding yourself on the roof of a house and finding yourself living in a house a few miles inland.

No, explain why we still have a city in new orleans when it repeatedly gets destroyed by hurricanes.
The thread is about whether climate change is an existential threat, not how to best manage coastal cities that flood.
you’re right, sorry.
