My ex was from Shanghai, and told me about how a while ago the Bund did start sinking. They had to bring in engineers to shore it up. Given the staggering amount of construction there in the past 10 years, it would not at all surprise me if the city started having subsidence problems again. Maybe they should just let it sink, and become the Venice of the east.

they have too many short buildings. I would ask for help from the dutch, not from New Orleans.
