Florida has more problems than just Gators and hurricanes...

 Ever seen a sinkhole? They come up (open up) without 
warning and can swallow an entire house...  

 
An aerial view of the sinkhole showed it is several feet wide and several feet deep.This one opened up in front of a house not far from mine. The sinkhole is located at the end of a driveway at the home in the Village of Springdale. 
The home is located in Community Development District 4 where two homes were severely damaged by sinkholes in February 2018. Residents of CDD 4 were hit later that year with a 20 percent increase in their maintenance assessment to pay for repairs to infrastructure around that sinkhole site. 


Community Watch is blocking traffic on 
Wesley Street due to the sinkhole.
Fuck...
... 

Here's an article that explains how and why they happen so often here:

  1. There's a reason no one had built there before. Swamps aren't good for building homes on.

  2. It's not so much the swamp, but the karst under it. Best bet is to learn some geology, find out where the limestone is and the underground rivers and groundwater. Then move somewhere else.
