Around 40% of North Jakarta now lies below sea level, with many homes and buildings sinking into the ground.

Everything is cheap..Grab is $1 or $2 within city, travel so far only $15
Strangely I dont see any signs of sinking whatsoever.. Could be an excuse to justify spending billions for a new capital in Borneo
Yah, the malls are huge. But that's usually so in large countries.
Grab is cheap but when I was working there, the traffic was always jammed.
The sinking is in north Jakarta.
