Sooo, flushing twice is making the ground sink??
Maybe they should go back to corn cobs and out houses.

If they correlate with the map consisting of newly-arrived democrats from New Orleans over the last five years, they may solve their dilemma.

A large section of northwestern Harris County particularly the Jersey Village area is sinking rapidly, according to a University of Houston (UH) geologist who has analyzed GPS data measuring ground elevation in the Houston area. Flying cars needed now more than ever.

While groundwater withdrawal has ceased in most of the Houston area, it continues in the northwestern part of the county that has seen a rapid growth in population." I'd say that population density in the Heights and Montrose is higher than previously (and higher than Jersey Village) due to so called "smart growth" (maximized property exploitation by redevelopers) bloc housing. 4 or more 3-story townhomes on what formerly held one or two homes.

After years of people waiting, some hoping for California to fall in the ocean...Houston sinks into the Gulf....
LOL!
I don't mean to laugh, but this is some brutal karma, if there is such a thing...

Some points in Jersey Village are subsiding by up to 5.5 centimeters (about 2 inches) a year I have to assume that you do not have any subsurface (buried) utilities in these areas such as gas lines or sewers.
If you did this kind of subsidence would have cause some serious problems.

I’ve talked to people who lived in that area before Beltway 8 was built and they say it never flooded back then. Since the levee that’s known as the Beltway was built it floods all the time. Maybe that’s what’s causing the problem.

Thanks decimon. I figure it has to do with the result of the game with Dallas.
