Yes, it really is a concern that the architects, engineers, weather experts, safety engineers, risk assesses, environmental strategists, and manifold other experts working on the design and construction will undoubtedly have forgotten to factor in seaside weather conditions. I know it's Sunday...

Brighton is alternative. As in it's an alternative to the usual city template. Only a few places in the UK vaguely anything like it.
