New York City sinking into the ocean? Sounds like a WIN to me.

This is what you get when you basically build a city on what used to be a coastal sand bar.

Large numbers mean nothing without context
A cubic meter of rock weighs 3531.8 pounds and there are 1, 000, 000, 000 cubic meters in a cubic kilometer so:
One cubic kilometer of rock weighs 3, 531, 800, 000, 000 pounds or in this context 3, 531.8 trillion pounds.
New York City is built on bedrock, I don’t know how deep but it is 778 square kilometers way more than 1 km deep so:
That 1.7 trillion pounds of buildings is built atop a minimum of 2, 747, 740.4 trillion pounds of rock.
And that is like someone claiming Hoover dam is not as high because they are standing on it.
Large numbers without context is used to foster fear in the ignorant.

If only there is a people that have good knowledge of water works and also have some historical knowledge of the city.
Perhaps the Dutch, we perhaps could call it "New Amsterdam"
