Yes, all of this is very true. But I am playing the devil's advocate here . . .
Does anyone think a Village home that has suffered sinkhole damage or catastrophic damage is SAFER (when correct repairs have been made) than a home that has not suffered any damage? I'm throwing this out there to see what your opinions are and why.
In one respect, I think the home COULD possibly be safer because it is now on a solid foundation, as opposed to those homes who are not. BUT, could another sinkhole or catastrophic occurrence happen in the same place? The developer will plug up the sinkholes in the Ashland pond and life in TV will go on as usual. But if a sinkhole involves a home, and it is repaired - people are very leary indeed. I do realize that insurance on such a property could be very costly. Does anyone really know how this effects homes in the area - i.e. insurance, resale value etc???
