US-specific news, no politics

Rules:

No politics. Nothing about governments, parties, or politicians. I love politics but this is not a politics community, there are plenty of those. [email protected] is recommended.
Reliable sources only.
Articles are good. Self-posts or blog posts by professionals or journalists are fine. Memes or random blogs, no.
Post title must match the headline. Edits for clarity are fine.
Don't be a jerk.
No racism, no bigotry, no spam.
Be productive.

TL;DR It’s complicated, but my interpretation of all of that is that the default is that what land is “yours” does in fact change when there’s slow movement of the land, but you can also fight it in court and have property lines redrawn to be roughly the same relative to the buildings when all of the buildings have moved.
