The clue might be. Beach = Sand = massive weight of 30 or 40 story buildings sitting on foundations of beach sand. What could possibly go wrong with that concept.
Most major building aren’t anchored in, or standing on, rocks. But on differed kind of soil. Many soils being more soft than sand. You are assuming aren’t because they usually have vegetation holding the earth together. Rock also having its issues. The highest skyscraper in the world is built in sand. Dry sand! Moist sand you say? As you may have noticed, moist sand particles stick together better than dry sand. I mean, you have oil rigs and wind power plants standing out at sea on the bottom that no one questions if they will sink into the mud or clay. A professional construction engineer analyzes the soil situation, and there are methods to solve most situations today. Any heavy building will sink. And engineers calculate for that. So just the fact that buildings sink is not alarming. You have to analyze if it is irregular in some way. However, I don’t think it is smart to build like this. Because buildings have a life spans. And must be maintained. And erosion is high where sea meets land. Meaning the buildings must be maintained more frequently. And the deregulated nation and state doesn’t push many obligations on owners. The idea is that if something goes wrong, those who are harmed sue for damages. And there can even be criminal investigations. So the assumption is that this knowledge will make owners make sure the buildings are properly maintained. That is quite laughable. Because corporations can’t be punished much criminally. They today have almost all the rights individuals have, but not many of the juridical obligations. Shareholders even less. So many owners won’t maintain the buildings as is necessary, but gamble that there won’t be any severe problems. And if something happens and their businesses get sued, the corporation just declare bankruptcy if/when insurance corporation won’t pay. Also, Floridans in general don’t seem to believe in climate change, so the owners won’t listen to warnings and prepare for the consequences of that. One consequence may be to tear down a building if erosion takes too much of a toll, if the alternatives are too expensive. So yes… it’s not smart to build like this! But not necessary of this sinking issue.

As a geotechnical engineer who worked in South Florida, there is no need to worry about general settlement described in this video. The buildings are designed to accommodate it. We worry if the building settles at different rates within the building footprint. We have seen buildings settled as much as a foot during construction. Almost all of the settlement occurs before occupation. However, older buildings with shallow foundations can be affected by high rises being built next to it.

Well building large heavy structures on sand is not smart, but we have proven recently the American public is anything but smart, so it all falls in line.
When I used to live in South Beach, the condo I was in was sinking. You could see huge cracks on the walls. They had to move me into a different unit in order to fix it.

Florida is so big, and everyone moving here just wants to live in the same places! So much of our beautiful state has little economy cause people think the beach front is the only way to go. We gotta start giving our inland areas more attention. You're still just a small drive away from the beach. You're closer to our natural springs, and you're better protected from hurricanes. Oh, and the ocean isn't going to come in and wash away your home at any minute.
@@bonecrone411 had a sinkhole open up like a mile and half from my house because the developer didn't do the proper homeworkd when building there. so yeah you aren't wrong there.
I’m not surprised they’re sinking. From the plane I was amazed how these giant hotels sat on these tiny strips of remaining land barely above the water.
The geology of the area is not just the type of rock beneath, but the type of fault lines that run through. Fault lines may not produce earthquakes, but they are part of a greater geologic dynamic that changes the earth beneath our feet.
This is why as a NYer I specifically told my realtor I want to be 7-10 miles inland in Boca. I found my gem 14 mins away from Mizner Park. No floods no sinking to Gators in my neighborhood.
We live here in Florida. We knew the greedy people would fall for the Greedy Developers and Republican politicians trying to make $$$ on their investments, allowing this disaster to come by lobbying practices. Now Insurance will cancel those policies. They know they are bound to be demolished, they have started to fall apart, Just like last building that collapsed Just 3 miles away.
“The soils of North and Central Florida are typically very sandy, while in the panhandle, the soil can contain substantial amounts of clay. Clay soils compact more easily and drain slower than sandy soils. Meanwhile, down south in the Everglades, soils tend to be peat-based and extremely fertile.” -University of Florida It seems a lot of commenters would be surprised to hear their home is probably built on “sand.” Sand is probably the ideal soil type to build on. These buildings are old and need work, but it’s not because of the type of soil they’re built on.
So, a series of massive 100 meters plus high beachfront towers ranging from 29-40 stories have each settled from 2 - 8 cm. I wish to congratulate the architects, engineers and the craftsman who built them. This is a good news story. Such minute settlement is to be applauded.
This is absolutely the main reason why I can never own, or will never own a place anywhere in Florida. Florida is a visitors/tourist state not a homebase type of state.
I’d be interested to know about monitoring water and electrical lines going into the sinking buildings. If the building is sinking faster than the ground where utilities come from, will the lines eventually snap?
If the condos are sinking into the ground then they are not worth buying. They should be torn down and not be replaced with a new building. The land that they were built on should become part of the beachfront area for beach goers to enjoy!
One condo collapse has already escaped the engineers foresight and understanding. Maybe I should just rush out and buy a condo on a South Florida beach?
I don’t live on the beach, I live about 7 miles away and I had to use underground stabilizers to help the sinking of my home. It’s not only at the beach line and many homes settle and slightly sink. Look for cracks in the brick for possible settlement
1/4 inch per year is no big deal. When you consider that you may get a tidal surge more often because of climate changes. What many fail to understand that one of the bigger problems that nobody mentioned, is that the drinking water in Florida is not good. The ground is so porous and when the area floods , all the contamination from human waste and chemicals saturate the soil. And the Gulf is a huge waste pit.
They’re called barrier Islands and they were supposed to be left as barrier Islands not meant to be have big sky rising buildings on them! It was never meant for the bedrock and developers probably got greedy!
Your study shows the land is sinking, one condo was destroyed by subsidence, and you are in a state known for sink holes. "Should we be worried?" "No." Y'all are ridiculous.
I sure hope the state legislators in Florida don't roll back the mandatory condo fixes.... So many of these condos and apartment buildings are in need of serious repairs.... They let that go there could be many more deaths.... It's an injustice for people buying these condos not knowing if they're going to collapse on them or not.

The geology of the area is not just the type of rock beneath, but the type of fault lines that run through. Fault lines may not produce earthquakes, but they are part of a greater geologic dynamic that changes the earth beneath our feet.
Ummm what?
There are no fault lines in Florida chatgpt bot.
Not much of a fault system in Florida. Most of the movement is South or East of the state.

This is why as a NYer I specifically told my realtor I want to be 7-10 miles inland in Boca. I found my gem 14 mins away from Mizner Park. No floods no sinking to Gators in my neighborhood.
Florida is sinking man and I don't wanna swim. Karma for yall.
When you build your empire on sand ....
Surprise Surprise ...
wtf I said the same thing then checked the comments 😂
We live here in Florida. We knew the greedy people would fall for the Greedy Developers and Republican politicians trying to make $$$ on their investments, allowing this disaster to come by lobbying practices. Now Insurance will cancel those policies. They know they are bound to be demolished, they have started to fall apart, Just like last building that collapsed Just 3 miles away.
Surprise...... duh.... with king tides and sea level rise and the simple fact that a lot of the beach is literally built on reclaimed land.
Sea level rise isn’t real. Coastlines do change constantly though. Especially ones that routinely experienced tremendous weather, i.e. huge powerful waves, rain, wind.
I been telling people Florida is going to break off and float away. I'm giving it less than 3000 years.
no wonder deshorty was hounding disneyworld, he wanted to take some heat of this disaster
“The soils of North and Central Florida are typically very sandy, while in the panhandle, the soil can contain substantial amounts of clay. Clay soils compact more easily and drain slower than sandy soils. Meanwhile, down south in the Everglades, soils tend to be peat-based and extremely fertile.” -University of Florida
It seems a lot of commenters would be surprised to hear their home is probably built on “sand.” Sand is probably the ideal soil type to build on. These buildings are old and need work, but it’s not because of the type of soil they’re built on.
DeSantos blamed the sinking on woke Disney.
TRUMP is going to be your president AGAIN. 😂
Life long South FL resident here. No surprise here. Keep building closer and closer to the waters edge.
Oh, well the truth people care to ignore.

Duhhhh!! Ha-ha!!!! Property values will change even more. Good, not supposed to build on the coast.
So, a series of massive 100 meters plus high beachfront towers ranging from 29-40 stories have each settled from 2 - 8 cm. I wish to congratulate the architects, engineers and the craftsman who built them. This is a good news story. Such minute settlement is to be applauded.
Lol 😂😂😂
This is a result of getting rid of the nature and replacing that with luxury buildings. One more reason not to live in Florida.
In more severe cases, the first floor units are now characterized as "basement apartments".
This is absolutely the main reason why I can never own, or will never own a place anywhere in Florida. Florida is a visitors/tourist state not a homebase type of state.
You shouldn't need to worry, until you wake up one morning with a crab singing under the sea.
If he has to compare it to Venice or Mexico City, that’s just not a good sign.
If it wasn’t for bad news, Florida wouldn’t have any news!
I’d be interested to know about monitoring water and electrical lines going into the sinking buildings. If the building is sinking faster than the ground where utilities come from, will the lines eventually snap?
If the condos are sinking into the ground then they are not worth buying.
They should be torn down and not be replaced with a new building.
The land that they were built on should become part of the beachfront area for beach goers to enjoy!
After that building that collapsed, I would never live in these buildings.
One condo collapse has already escaped the engineers foresight and understanding.
Maybe I should just rush out and buy a condo on a South Florida beach?
Who could have guessed?
This will stop if and when they hold the developers liable.
"Should residents be concerned?" "No." 🤣🤣🤣🤣And he said that with a straight face.
I don’t live on the beach, I live about 7 miles away and I had to use underground stabilizers to help the sinking of my home. It’s not only at the beach line and many homes settle and slightly sink. Look for cracks in the brick for possible settlement
Who would have guessed you can't build a giant building on sand, 20 feet away from an ocean.
Why do banks give loans to developers building projects that are against ESG?
They are built on beaches, sand!
The ocean constantly battering the shore!
How it hasn't happened already, is beyond me!
Why was the reporter, standing in the driveway?
I am wondering why developers are allowed to build new high rises? Are they not drilling the piers all the down to bedrock?
1/4 inch per year is no big deal. When you consider that you may get a tidal surge more often because of climate changes. What many fail to understand that one of the bigger problems that nobody mentioned, is that the drinking water in Florida is not good. The ground is so porous and when the area floods , all the contamination from human waste and chemicals saturate the soil. And the Gulf is a huge waste pit.
Oops, is a horrible word that was never used until a disaster occurred.
They’re called barrier Islands and they were supposed to be left as barrier Islands not meant to be have big sky rising buildings on them! It was never meant for the bedrock and developers probably got greedy!
Your study shows the land is sinking, one condo was destroyed by subsidence, and you are in a state known for sink holes. "Should we be worried?" "No." Y'all are ridiculous.
Years ago they said Miami Florida was sinking about 2 inches a year.
The projections show most of South Florida underwater in 50 years. So what's a little building sinkage going to hurt?
I sure hope the state legislators in Florida don't roll back the mandatory condo fixes.... So many of these condos and apartment buildings are in need of serious repairs.... They let that go there could be many more deaths.... It's an injustice for people buying these condos not knowing if they're going to collapse on them or not.
Why does it take a "new study" to learn the common knowledge that it is foolish to build on sand?
