    Mexico City is sinking by nearly 10 inches (about 25 centimeters) a year, according to new satellite imagery released this week by NASA, making it one of the world’s fastest-subsiding metropolises.

        That's been true for decades. Not sure about the rate, but the city was built on marshland.

              We have sink holes. I never heard of one taking anyone's house personally but it happens.
