Hi pezz,

The bigger danger to Mexico City lies in the severity of the earthquakes that rock the area rather regularly, geologically speaking.

As the sub-soils shift, collapse and compress, the underground aquifer itself is sustaining irreparable damage. In the not too distant future, it will be easy to "predict" that Mexico City will collapse unto itself in a major earthquake. It's probably even no longer a question of "if"; the only question is "when"...

Apparently not. My wife's young cousin (mid 30's), some type of environmental geologist worked down there for a few years... He wasn't terribly impressed with their prospects..
