As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, it should remind all of us how lucky we are to be citizens of The United States of America.

I am thankful for my continued health, as well as that of my family and loved ones. For friends whom I have kept in touch with over the years as well as newfound ones. For my late parents and ancestors as well as lost friends.

As a US citizen, a New York City taxpayer, a longtime resident, and a fan of The Big Apple it stinks just to think that NYC sinks.

Localized uplift, widespread subsidence, and implications for sea level rise in the New York City metropolitan area. Regional relative sea level rise is exacerbating flooding hazards in the coastal zone.
