One was dealt with immediately and it did not expand into a larger problem and the second had delayed attention and it turned into a sink hole allegedly because the water continued to drain within the open hole until the problem became a sink hole. I am not an engineer but never believed in coincidences. In a typical "City" you would have a charter, an organization controlled by statutes and laws for the purport of protecting citizens of the city. Another view is that in the case of Condo's they are under Florida Statue 718 which is MUCH more strict than the statues governing The Villages. As I have said a number of times we love the Villages but are not blind to the loopholes for the Developer and Contractors.

Yep!
