They're also a wealthy, densely packed, small country that had foresight and has been consistently building forever now.
I think most places will just deny, deny, deny until they're ankle-deep then say there's nothing that can be done. Other places will acknowledge the problem, but not have the materials and people to do much.
New York is one place with the wealth and people to build a sea barrier, but whether it'll be politically viable against the focus-on-the-economy-of-today opponents is another matter.

And they've done most of it with primitive technology compared to today's options. I agree though: it's a political decision, the engineering and building isn't the problem, and, I believe, neither is the budget. If your 16th century farming community could afford to build dikes, so can the 21st century techo-dystopian mega-cities.
