Both will be sea level if and when all three Ice Sheets melts. Memphis Tennessee will replace New Orleans as the last city on the Mississippi River. The Bridge in Selma Alabama will be a water hazard to navigation. All of the current port cities in the Gulf and the South will be gone. The Suburbs of Baltimore and Philadelphia will become the ports of those cities. New England, New Brunswick and Quebec south of the St Lawrence becomes one big island. Albany New York becomes a SEAPORT that can ship via the St Lawrence OR the Hudson.

On the west coast, the Gulf of Cortez will extend almost to Palm Springs. Los Angles south I-10 and West of I-5 will be gone. San Diego west of I-5 will be gone (as while as a good piece EAST of that interstate). Between California 94 and I-5, most of what is West of I-895 will be gone.

San Francisco will become an Island, San Francisco bay will extend to San Jose and Santa Rosa, and to Sacramento, and from there throughout the central valley (no more worry about the dought).

Salem and Albany Oregon becomes Seaports. Portland's suburbs becomes a sea port. Seattle becomes a series of islands and the peninsula opposite Seattle become a large island. Olympia Washington becomes a port along the southern route out of Puget Sound (and a series of navigation hazards do to the large number of small islands in the area).

Now that is by 2100, yes it will be a mess, but maybe the money should be in Montgomery Alabama,
