Office prank. It doesn't need to be scientific, the towers dont need to catch fire but if the hotdog goes through them and it takes a moment to collapse then that is ideal.
I was considering jello towers but that might require a lot of food engineering unless I use like little smokies for the planes.
Alternate idea: make the bun twice as long so you can wield the hot dogs like darth maul's lightsaber. Also easier to eat if you cant dislocate your jaw.
That might work if the streets are raised 1 story and the streets become the tidal barrier. This is how the seattle waterfrony was built in some areas.
Imo though I think it makes sense in the long term to just consider the entire area a tidal or submerged area and build/modify accordingly on stilts/pilings and then backfill around just the stilts/pilings.
Roads are too flat and won't be navigable when partly submerged. Imo thats why it makes sense to build out canals that can be navigated at low tide. The sidewalks can then serve quadruple duty as sidewalk, utility areas, mud barrier, and dock.
