San Francisco Sinking Faster Than We Thought
A new NASA study reveals that San Francisco is sinking faster than scientists had previously thought. Ninety-two percent of San Francisco is gradually sinking, with neighborhoods like Treasure Island, SoMa, and areas near San Francisco International Airport dropping up to 10 millimeters per year. Combined with rising sea levels, parts of the city could see water levels rise over 17 inches by 2050, which is double previous projections. Experts are calling it a slow-moving disaster that threatens infrastructure, increases flooding risks, and requires immediate urban planning action.
