The real key is the land. My pueblo sits on rock to the point where building a septic tank with leach fields (done right) is a real effort. Strong backhoe that can move 1,000 pound chunks of basalt.
The Jello soil of Mexico can wiggle like dessert gelatin. God help the Chilangos if a 7.0 + quake occurs on the fault that runs alongside Popocatépetl.
Los Pinos is in the Chapultepec hills for a reason and it's not because of the view.
This is a way more descriptive measurement for the immediate regional effects of a terramoto.
