Going Down

Jagtar Singh first realized there might be a problem with his new home in April, when he noticed he could see daylight between the wall and floor of his bedroom. He was given notice that he would have to abandon it, and two days after he moved himself, his daughter, and his parents out, the house collapsed. Within two weeks of ever-widening cracks appearing in Robin and Scott Spivey's home in the same subdivision, their property dropped 10 feet below street level. Such seems to be the fate of the entire neighborhood in Lake County, 100 miles north of San Francisco (story, slideshow, video): http://www.weather.com/news/california-homes-sinking-subdivision-20130512
