Default What about the developer's warranty?

I'm very curious about what a "potential sinkhole" is, and how to recognize it? Why would The Villages developer even sell a lot that had a sinkhole when the developer does have a warranty period on the house to be built? If the developer's warranty does not protect against a sinkhole that it knew or should have known existed on the lot, then that means that all buyers of new lots must hire their own inspectors before settlement to check for these "potential sinkholes". Is this thread cause for concern to a soon to be Villager such as myself (who has a lot in Fernandina and will be building by May 2013), or is it another rumor without substance?
