How comfortable would you feel knowing that “planned subsidence” mining was being conducted 600-1,000 feet underneath your home?

Then you hear the underground mining noises that are not as freightening as the continual earthquake rumblings and the above-ground noises of your house falling apart while the streams explode before they vanish.
