London, like many of the older cities in the U.S. (Yes the newly developed urban technologies came to both areas at the same time) is subject to aging infrastructure. Pipes break, seals crack, the earth shifts under them and streets collapse.

and the people that live and work in those areas scream like banshees if their routine is disturbed my new utility construction, so the old systems are used beyond their normal lifespan.

Such is life.

Say about 10 years ago, you may hear about 5-10 burst water mains in a year, now we're getting to that number in a month - plus big sink holes opening up. Maybe London is sinking under the weight of the influx of newcomers?
