Kind of looks similar with the way it just lopped it off clean.

Collapsed Miami condo had been sinking into Earth as early as the 1990s, researchers say
The building had been sinking at an alarming rate - about 2 millimeters a year - according to a 2020 study.

How do you prevent that from happening? Is there anything you can do?

Nope. You can fill once it occurs but even that is dangerous.

If I understood the article it was a study into flooding potential that specifically mentioned this condo by NAME from the 90s as a spot that was sinking at a higher rate. Tragic that this information wasnt seized on earlier.

Stop building on the coast, ground not able to withstand the weight of these buildings.

Not just coast all of south Florida . Miami was made possible by draining the swamps . Florida drained the swamps and drank up the aquifers now the land is sinking . This is what you get when you shove some 16 million people ( Orlando - Tampa - Miami) in an area never meant to hold massive metropolises .
Out of all the buildings on the beach it doesn't happen that often though...

Living in that state you should understand the risks that come with it. That’s why I don’t feel bad about hurricane. It comes with the territory.
It wouldn't deter me from living on the beach.

Not me either. Can’t be afraid because every state has its dangers.

I'd be more concerned about the relentlessness heat/humidity and lack of snow. Oh wait, same ---- where I live.

One time is too many.
Spend a fortune on the foundation and dig piles down very deep maybe? It’s so porous down there I’m not even sure that would work.

Nobody should be allowed to live on the beach. Beaches are shifting areas of land . Precious habitats where 2 worlds meet . It’s a luxury to live on the beach these days not a necessity ( unlike past where cities grew up along the shore due to trade ) . The protection of that land is more important ! No more beach development !
If you lived at the beach you would disagree with your statement.
