U.S. Cities Are Sinking: What It Means for Homeowners


Listen Later

Ever stumbled upon a gorgeous home on Zillow with an impossibly low price tag and thought, "What's the catch?" Well, it might be because it's literally sinking! This episode peels back the layers on the troubling issue of land subsidence—the gradual sinking of the ground which affects numerous homes and cities across the U.S. From the bustling streets of New York City to the vibrant coasts of Miami, the financial implications are massive, with property values potentially plummeting by as much as 8.1%. Even scarier, most homeowners' insurance policies don't cover this kind of damage, leaving many to fend for themselves.

We delve into the myriad causes of land subsidence, both natural and human-made. Discover how the melting of glaciers and the relentless shifting of tectonic plates play their part, while our own actions, such as excessive groundwater extraction and the sheer weight of urban infrastructure, exacerbate the problem. It’s a fascinating look at how our world is quite literally shifting beneath our feet, impacting not just the landscape but our wallets and future urban planning. Don't miss this thought-provoking discussion on an issue that's more prevalent—and pressing—than you might think!
