Why is New York City so prone to flooding?

All those empty luxury rooms in the city is enough fir the whole city and unsold homes

Geography.

Return the city back to DUTCH and u'll see the difference

All these flooding and fire around the world lately are men made. Blamed on climate change so to tax the people.

I lived on Minetta Lane and W4th in the 1990s and early 2000s. There was not a single flood there of any significance for years. This weather is the result of geoengineering experimentation and tampering with the climate systems. Wake up people. There are corporations making money screwing with the weather regardless of the consequences to the average person on the ground. If a disaster ensues, they just tell the media to blame the weather, an act of God. Really these arrogant fools are tampering with the moisture cycle in our weather. So they can profit from it. Harvard has a school dedicated to "Geoengineering." We need to stop acting like passive respondents and start to demand an involvement in the governance of these technologies on a local level where we live. It is real folly to abnegate local control to a bunch of vague "globalists" claiming they have to implement drastic experimental "solutions." Extreme weather events have been caused by the normal weather being modified by technologies designed to do just that. Probably climate change is real also. There are likely real problems caused by pollution. But how can anyone believe what so-called climate science claims when (a) the voice of "climate science" is made up of investment, corporate and academic interests who build their careers and profit from climate related technologies. (b) these "scientists" deny physical evidence which has shown continuous runoff and contamination from geoengineering chemicals and minerals, evidence of tampering with moisture cycles, and the activities corporations and even smaller LLCs which are devoted to weather technologies. These toxic pollutants are constantly added to the already polluted air we breathe. No one will know what the heck is going with the climate on until there is transparency regarding military industrial profiteers attempting to implement weather modification technology.

The authority declared a state of emergency but still the defence😮 service didn't start emergency relief work it is very strange.

One more reason to never go there

We are living in the end times ladies and gentlemen. Jesus Christ is coming back soon. Repent, live for him before it's to late ⏳✝️

Climate Change is BS and everyone knows it , so why you lying CBS?

Sick f cks they are doing this end you myth say im crazy but this is to much of ????????

Its full of filth..God send water to wash it n hope New Yorkers stays clean...but pigs are pigs...

New York will end up like a swamp

And why is this happening? Because most humans cannot stop their insatiable appetite for the dead and decomposing body parts of animals. Animal ag is more destructive than the pollution caused by trains, cars and planes COMBINED. Brainwashed meatards are directly responsible for this. Be kind, be vegan, or the prophetic end of the first Planet of the Apes movie will come true. How telling that image, the statue of ‘liberty’ floating in the flood. If you’re not prepared to extend liberty to animals, then YOU are responsible.

I hope the city is not sinking. Needs prayer

Stfu about climate change jeeze

Bc its next to water . Done

Why did NY build all those skyscrapers on an Island? Going Underwater and there is NO Escape.

If we reduce sin "CLIMATE CHANGE" will change

There's no such thing as climate change are you a scientist?

A little late for that isn't it? There is no such thing as a climate change. Because of the hurricane . There's no climate crisis there's no climate crisis either. Stop telling that lie. You're not getting anymore money either..

NYC collects insane property taxes. It should be responsible for inspecting and keeping clear of garbage its drains. Nobody is doing anything. The city is packed with garbage.

New York sucks. I'm moving to jersey.

It's not NYC fault! It's the fault of unusually heavy rains in recent years.

The illegal aliens are clogging up our sewers Mayor Adams now proclaims while on the phone with rotor rooter.

They use to clean the sewers annually, they longer do that. When you walk past a sewer now you can smell all the rotting vegetation, stinks to high heaven

At least this Mayor should close schools before saying EVERYONE MUST STAY HOME after kids already went to school. Pathetic!

Climate change is a HOAX. Welcome to planet BULLSHIT.

Singapore has been doing this DTSS (Deep Tunnel Sewage System) for years to build a massive underground tunnels to direct the rainwater from drains to the sea..
This is not something you can do in a few years..
Things like rising sea levels also need to be planned and measures like Sea walls or alternatives need to be studied and planned years ahead of time

How can you blame it on climate change if our government is seeding clouds and aerosol's performing weather experiments ??? I'm of being lied to all the time ...

reason the drainage system is filled up with garbage , that a big reason.

Never tell the truth when you can blame climate change and advance a deceitful political agenda.

Minetta Lane was originally Minetta Creek, Canal Street was originally a canal, and Prospect Park Lake was a real lake fed by streams from Bedford Stuyvesant and Bushwick, and that is why it flooded after several days of heavy rain.

Clean out the drainage! That should help somewhat.

It's a new Miley Cyrus song; "That's cuz I used to be young". Seriously, aside from climate change, many parts of NYCs infrastructure is around a century old. 😏

Repent everyone, Jesus Christ is coming back soon. Please do refer back to your Bibles as God’s prophecy unfolds in our very eyes.

I used to live in NY and I can say that many of that city's flood problems have to do with plugged up sewers; stopped up with garbage and other debris, that effectively prevent the natural drainage of rain and other forms of precipitation.

This to a large extant is ignored by those responsible and even encouraged by those occupying upper rungs of the political ladder, so that when floods occur, they can mount their favorite hobbyhorse and blame it all on "Climate Change"!

We may therefore, expect more such floods in future.

Because it’s a nasty dirty sticky city

Well the Hudson River runs along the city

Being a costal city left the chat

get it out the mud yea yea…

I think more water is coming. Very scary 😱😲!!? .

Before the island was inhabited by the Dutch, there were many natural features to the land such as wet lands, trees, rivers, and lakes. When industrialization came, everything was covered with concrete, no more exposed soil for water to be absorbed. And there were no more trees. That’s just one problem. The others are the fact that drainage in New York City gets blocked by garbage. And now increased rainfall from storms worsened by global warming.

Nyc is sinking constantly lol

Anyone who looks through Google Earth can see that New York is right in the middle of a mushy green spot where the water tends to settle in.
