I have only been here a year. I am aware of at least 1 family that had extreme damage/high expense sinkhole damage...I wonder if there is a central recording agency to get data on how many report home damage due to sinkholes. I ride my bike everywhere in TV and after the recent week of severe rain I saw mini sinkholes popping up many places.... usually only a few feet across...eg, there was 1 on the cart path at Buena Vista near Bonita Blvd. I golfed yesterday at Lopez... WOW, that's a big one there. I think it would be a good project for the POA to do an article on the sinkhole issue, identify areas that have a high prevalence etc. I didn't get the ins....reason:I knew absolutely nothing of the sinkhole issue when we bought our home.
