The sea level is not rising. The land is slipping toward the ocean by continental drift.

The sea level is not rising. The land is slipping toward the ocean by continental drift.Actually it is not continental drift, it is isostatic rebound. DC (and the entire area from Wilmington, NC to Trenton, NJ) is sinking because Quebec is rising. ~3 mi thick ice sheets are heavy.

...and subsiding from water use.
...and locally sea level is rising as currents shift (as they continuously do).
...and there is some sea level rising, as there has been whenever we recover from ice ages.
The biggest issue? We now build permanent buildings and can’t just shift them back from the waters edge.
