I agree with Gracie, the article is click bait. Phrases like "hotbed of sinkholes" "sinkholes are spiking" "everybody is worried" kind of give it away. In the last 20 years or so I think about 50 homes here have been damaged by sinkholes. Currently we have maybe 65,000 homes here so that's a .0769 percent chance it will happen to you. More likely to get run over by a drunk driver.
I once considered investing in Timber Lakes, Hernando County. Until I saw the sinkhole map for that area. Sinkholes on every other block. That is a "hotbed"
But do carry on, it's great for your property values!
