    		Note that while Mexico City is well-known to be sinking, it is nowhere near the sea. The causes of this sinking are described at length at http://mygeologypage.ucdavis.edu/cowen/~gel115/115CHXXsubsidence.html, along with some descriptions of other subsidence problems, including Houston and Venice.
