Most of modern Boston is built on trash dumped into the harbor to make more land, so I can imagine that they are going to have some issues with any sea rises.

One side-effect of all this land-filling is that it is really difficult to get a feel for what the place would have been like historically. For instance, the campaigns of 1775 don't make a lot of sense if you are reading about them and trying to look at a modern map.
