I agree, water is pulled down to the center of the earth at a constant rate, how could they be rising in one place and not the other. Maybe you’re right, maybe we’re sinking.
Maybe we have just too many buildings and people in places like New York City and the land is tipping over.(sarc.)

You put that much weight in one spot your bound to compact the earth below it.
