Probably Not Worth Doing Too Much In The Way Of Renovations There

They're not sure why, but this entire neighborhood in Northern California is sinking. I think it might have something to do with the groundwater shifting, but there's also a volcano nearby, and they're looking into other possibilities. Regardless, it's happening in slow motion, not like those sinkholes in Florida that just suddenly opened up. They can have sudden shifts of several inches right away, or it can be barely perceptible, and there's no pattern. The people who own houses there are being driven crazy, not to mention out of their homes. And there's nobody to blame, because the neighborhood was built on soil pretty much identical to other neighborhoods which are fine, and the original plans were approved and tested with nothing out of the ordinary. What would you do if your neighborhood suddenly started moving? (NBC News)
