Every time someone mentions tapers I think of this cute creature.

This condo collapse is bad news for most of Florida. The ground there has been showing signs of sinking for a couple of decades and we now see what happens to buildings that weren’t supposed to collapse. Something similar is happening to high rise condos in San Francisco that were built on top of landfills which were along the water. As water continues to rise along coasts more buildings will collapse.

It’s situated on the Miami limestone Ridge so fresh water flow through the rock weakened it. It was a sinkhole in formation probably.

I was waiting for someone to blame this on global warming. Any evidence rising water levels had anything to do with this?
Did you know sinkholes are caused by fresh water. Not salt water. Probably not since you’re clearly a liberal. Liberals have a lot of difficulty separating science from politics.

Au contraire, we do know very well that sinkholes are often caused by severe depletion of water tables and lowering of groundwater levels – which is a consequence of the right wingers’ “we can do whatever we want to the earth and the air and nothing will happen” thinking.

OK, so how do rising sea levels cause an increase in sink holes?
And what consequence are you referring to? Explain to me how right wingers are causing an increase in sink holes? Do they consume more water than the average person?

He created a straw man argument about rightwingers in order to troll, notice how he segued the conversation away from the rising sea levels to something barely related.

LOL. Replied to that. And your comment doesn’t really merit another response.

Duh! High construction densities result in falling water tables because larger areas of land are covered by concrete and asphalt. If the water table is tapped as a source of water supply, the water tables fall even faster. And you know who says we have to pay heed to how construction affects the environment? Right-wingers? No. It is those people that right-wingers refer to as environmental nuts or whatever.

That’s true for areas with a water deficit like California’s Central Valley. Southern Florida on the other hand does not have a water deficit so the water table doesn’t fall, it flows.

Sinkholes can come from different reasons. There is a big canal in back of the building. It would be flush with fresh water after rainstorms and hurricanes so it could have been the source of overabundant fresh water seeking its way to the sea undermining the building in the process. Just a speculation on my part. Sinkholes are common in Florida but are hardly ever seen on the coast. No need to blame or exonerate climate change as the reason. Could just be bad luck or bad materials. We won’t know till it’s studied. Sea rise in Florida has been very small, about a foot expected in the next 100 years in line with the last 100 years.

Well, in this specific instance, it could be unsafe and unsuitable for some other environmental reason. But the greedy developers don’t care about that or any other reason, be it the falling water tables or in other contexts, the increased possibility of wildfires and so on.

Yes, and who could believe that, in the land of schemers and scammers, construction and design could be faulty (see FIU pedestrian bridge collapse a couple years back).

Florida is a great place. Where do you come from?

I don’t think a single word is spoken in public that isn’t carefully scripted and approved by Powell.

My interpretation is that it is communicating an intention to try to carry out its Congressional mandates of maximum employment consistent with 2% PCE inflation averaged over some period beginning some time back when actual PCE inflation was less than 2%. Bond traders seem to think it will be successful.
