Being born and bred in Miami. It has nothing to do with sinking. They use the cheapest materials to build houses and condos back in the day.

If that were the case. So many high rises would have collapsed by now.

I bet anything you want that the Brickell Centre condos won't experience this.
I’m sure when they built the condos that collapsed in the 1990s- they said the same thing. Let’s not act like you can predict what will happen 2 days or 20 years from now. Erosion, poorly maintained infrastructure, corrosive salt, land shifts are a recipe for disaster. I expect the bias being that you’re from Florida but logic before emotion.

Yes, the land is slowly sinking in parts of Florida, but the sea is rising much faster and poses a far greater threat of flooding | The Invading Sea

Keep false hope alive, I guess. It’s not my state or city - good luck down there.
Map of Miami shows some parts sinking even faster than where condo collapsed

shyt my bad I didn't see who I responded to. You get that Paxil prescription yet hun?:mjlol:

Logic would be that you would see this way more often if it related to sinking. :stopitslime:

Article from March 2020
:jbhmm:
Last year, Florida House Speaker José Oliva made the scientifically unsupported claim that Miami Beach’s buildings and infrastructure are causing the underlying land to sink and its streets to flood with seawater.

Last week, the Florida Legislature soundly rejected such claims and affirmed the need to address climate change and sea-level rise — the primary cause of Miami Beach’s high-tide flooding— by passing Senate Bill 178. This bill requires public projects along the coast to prove there’s no future flood risk in order to use taxpayer dollars for construction costs.


Meanwhile, House Bill 1157, which would establish an initiative to study land subsidence (another word for sinking) throughout Florida, is making its way through the legislature. While it’s true that most of Florida’s coastline — like much of the Eastern Seaboard—is subsiding, data indicate that for much of the state, the rate of that subsidence pales in comparison to the rate of climate change-driven sea-level rise.


Sea-level rise and land subsidence can both increase the risk of flooding in coastal areas. Measurements show that the rate of land subsidence in Florida varies from place to place but is generally less than 0.5 millimeters per year.

At about 1.7 millimeters per year, the global average rate of sea-level rise over the course of the 20th century was more than three times that of land subsidence in Florida. What’s more, for the last 25 years, the global rate of sea-level rise has been even higher—in excess of 3 millimeters per year.

It doesn’t sound like much, but when you add it up, sea levels have risen by an average of more than 3 inches globally since 1993. Those extra inches have contributed to a fivefold rise in the frequency of high-tide flooding across the nation, including in Florida and other states in the Southeast.

You know exactly who you responded to. I mean the name is right there when you quoted me and this is the second time you’re doing it.

But continue joking and coming up with corny comebacks on a thread about mass casualties and collapsed buildings as you post up from a time ticking underwater sink… nvm. Good priorities! Keep posting those smilies, nothing urgent going on at all. Nice day at the beach tomm, have fun!! No worries!

Those Native American Seminole’s are playing for keeps with their Indian removal curses -spirits of the slave ancestors bringing out reinforcements after their domain was claimed - bad combination; couldn’t be me.

The least they can do since they'd not have shyt if not for us :skip:



Feels like this is the slowest rescue effort I've seen in recent history. Survivors and the deceased were constantly getting recovered from rubble in Beirut in the hours that came after. If the structure is so precarious that even fallen it's damned near impossible to safely maneuver, :francis: to all of it. This is about to go on that disaster leaderboard unfortunately.


Crazy though that this is getting such little press compared to the biweekly mass shootings. If it ain't violent, nobody gives a fukk. A mess.

Out of all of these new, luxury apartments and condos that have been, and is being built in major cities throughout the country, one may wonder just how many of these are rush jobs, or if constructive short cuts were made.

We might see more of this shyt with older and newer buildings alike
it'll happen to the newer ones before the older ones. the changes to the IBC code in 08-09 allowed for these one plus 5 complexes that make everyhting look the same. One floor of concrete (retail) plus 5 floors of wood (luxury apartments). we live in one of these, the first people to live in this unit since the building was finished in mid 2020, studs are already pushing themselves out the wall.

to be fair, there’s something morbid about standing around, as the media, waiting for
a body to be pulled out dead or alive.

With a shooting, the aftermath is all there is.
