Huh, interesting. I checked my country for this and it seems here we too have a coal plant right next to housing area, but it seems like the housing is the one creep toward the coal plant, not the other way around.

But then i'm not sure what sort of error will cause a quake and ruin houses. Is there any case happen to past construction?

I don't think a coal plant would cause earthquakes.

From @crater2150@feddit.org's comment:

village in Germany, where many houses were damaged by geothermal plants, caused by water entering layers where it usually didn’t reach and the material there taking in water and expanding

It's specific to geothermal

Ohh ya i wasn't saying it would, i was just correcting my misinformed opinion that powerplant won't be build near housing area.
