 This is Belize City as seen from about one or two miles out to sea.  There used to be more to it but several years ago it was flattened by a hurricane, and instead of rebuilding, the government decided to build a new capital city farther inland to prevent the various embassies and government offices from literally getting blown away.
 
This seems to me to be a rational, clever decision on the part of politicians.
