a three story building fell down that hole and apparently this isn't the first time in that area one of these has opened up!  It must be just honeycombed all underneath.  It's like land of the lost down there.

Actually, the real problem is that a large chunk of the city is resting on compressed volcanic ash.  Water flows can sweep enough ash away to make collapses like these happen.
