Yes. I said Yes. You are newer here than me.

I have lived here now for eight years. There has been a sinkhole about once a year. The last one hit national news, probably because of our new online news and as a result spread all over the world, slowing the sale of homes in The Villages. Last year was a very big one for sure...but...

The home is still standing and probably more safe now than it was before.

And no one had a home with catastrophic loss, they all were reparable. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.

AND...that nicely poured slab held. It didn't crack or break. Yes. I said yes.
