“That’s not happening. We’ve been here 65 years, we’ll be here another 65.”

You see that's the problem here. It's not up to you if you will be there another 65 years or not, it's up to climate change and mother nature. So if you wanna be there for another 65 years then maybe you should cough up some of that profit to upgrade your business to be there 65 more years.

Apparently, they actually already did, and they're just saying that they'll have to increase the height if they want the building to remain viable.

The restaurant ultimately did not sustain damage in January because it sits on pilings that kept it above the water, on city-owned land. But because the flooding will worsen, the report recommended the city elevate, rebuild or abandon it, and consider converting the existing land area to tidal habitat.
