IMO there difference between sinkholes and development land ground collapse. IMO ground collapses gives natural sinkholes a bad rap. IMO I also think most sinholes you see around here and over the world in developed areas are ground collapses from water pressure lines, street drain tubing failures, and structural drainage problem. IMO most the time is waY for engineers and insurance to blame nature for engineered failure and who would think insurance would cover natural occurrences?

IMO I haven't seen natural sinkhole since I been here. IMO all related to retention ponds and under ground drain tube failures. If it looks like duck, quakes like duck, and walks like duck, most likely it's a DUCK. As for the question any developed area in time could have sinkholes aka ground collapse.
