Parts of Mt. Greenwood reverting back to swamp!

Until the early 1950's the area east of Kedzie from 104th to 106th was known as Lake Ridge. Check the old relief maps. At some point it was filled in and the houses were built. Now it's flooding again as old swamps so often do. Many houses there have experienced shifting and flooded basements. At least one insurance company has redlined the area. A check on Google Earth shows the area has sunk 3 inches since 2011. 

What can be done?

    May be right. I have noticed all the cracked streets and sidewalks. Alleys are flooded bad too. That never happened before.

    I wouldn't call Google Earth an civil Engineering reference point.
