Given that the Statue of Liberty is on an entirely different island that’s not in New York, maybe try something else. Now that fewer people are commuting into the city, there’s a good chance we could spare a few skyscrapers.
New York City is actually built on swamp land. So many small creeks feed into it that water has to be constantly pumped out. When Manhattan was bought for trinkets, probably the sellers chuckled at how they had outsmarted the stupid settlers by selling them worthless swampland.

Is it on an island or rock-fill?

Easy solution is to decrease the Higgs Boson field on at least 17 percent of the sky scrapers thereby reducing the gravity of the situation!

Start by removing gold toilets from a certain tower.

This reminds me of how mountains such as the Himalaya Mountains also push down and sink down into the earth because of their weight.

Manhattan island is sinking. The Statue of Liberty is in New Jersey. Won’t help, Brewster.

That’s what you get building sky-scrapers on landfill.
Wall Street used to be close to the water – well – it soon will be again…

It was a gift from France. How about we remove the Manhattan D.A. That weighs just as much.

If NY is sinking, that may be due to the increased sea level caused by climate change.

Sentimental value. Yes, I guess you could call it that.

Only to the French! Not to New Yonkers. They say we got too many people already, don’t send us any more.

While it has a New York address, the statue is actually in New Jersey.

Manhattan has several suspension bridges (Brooklyn, Washington, Verrazzano, etc..), why not use them to hold the island up?
