OK....so there was a big hole in the ground. Natural or man-made? As soon as they fill it in, it will be no more.

Perhaps you should take the "sinkhole" conversation off the web since it is inaccurate

Finally, a post actually about The Villages.

I don’t think we all care what causes the hole, we just get anxious to think we could have nose dived into it, but thanks for the deep explanation

I guess his house now comes with a pool!

I got it, a sink hole is a hole where the ground sinks, a part of God's creation.

Ground collapsing is caused by people we don't like.

But, the stigma will still be there.:icon_wink:

Err, no. A sinkhole is one type of ground collapse. It's not the only kind of ground collapse. A broken water pipe (which was the case here) is another ground collapse. Poor drainage can cause a ground collapse.

If a construction crew cut corners on building a retention pond and the ground collapses as a result, then it's the construction company's fault. If you're best friends with the construction manager, it's STILL his company's fault. If you hate the construction manager, it's STILL his company's fault.
