To me this is like asking why you wouldn’t build a sand castle where your old one washed away. The sinkhole is unstable by nature, who would risk lives and money on a piece of land that has sunk before? All you would be saving is excavation costs, and spending a ton of money on engineering a sinkhole basement.
I think you need a basic course in the uncertainties of unstable geology. They already thought they’d stabilized this plot some years ago, and now there’s a giant hole there. The uncertainty for the future is just as large.
Plus it’s not cheap to prevent water intrusion when the water table is so high.
Or Louisiana. :eek::eek::eek:
But what if we built a third castle where the other two sunk?
It would burn down, fall over, then sink.
But the fourth one will stay up.
They’re unrelated. There are lots of pools in Florida because it’s Florida.
The high water table actually makes it expensive to build pools below a certain depth because building below the water table is more difficult.
Let’s go to the sinkhole and build stuff down there!
How do properties near sinkholes usually mitigate that risk once it happens in a neighborhood? I presume nearby house prices go down the sinkhole too?
Dig your own stinkhole.
I meant the reasons behind the two facts are related.
Most of Florida, and specifically the most populated and “pool-pulated” parts, have an extremely high water table. Yet lots of pools and no basements. Why?
In that environment, pools have the benefit of a few things that make them practical that basements do not share. First of all, it’s already full of water, so no need to worry about flooding! 
But the water also both reinforces the walls of the pool, and crucially, weighs it down. An empty pool would crack and/or float up right out of the ground if it were not for the safety feature of a properly operating hydrostatic valve that lets the water table water flood in to equalize the water level.
You wouldn’t want a hydrostatic valve to do the same in your basement, which is essentially an empty pool, after the extensive waterproofing that would have been required. So you would need to account for those same forces by extensive reinforcement and anchoring.
So, by the time you cost out a properly built basement in Florida, you could probably just add an extra story to the house and a pool.
I am not a geologist, as you may have gathered!
The third one, as the youngest brother, would be guaranteed to succeed.
I like yer attitude. 
So it is not Cthulhu? That’s good. 
See, if you build a waterproof underground basement in Florida, what have you built? A really shitty boat. Your basement will literally float off its foundation.
Are there any homeopathic cures that involve human essence?
All homeopathic cures include George Washington’s human essence, just in undetectable amounts.
Oh yeah? I got yer “human essence” right here, pal.
How many Floridians are wedged down there??!??!!
I dunno, do Ponce de Leon’s conquistadors count as Floridians? They were a bit too eager…
