There are a lot of articles about earthquakes, soft soil, and Mexico City. Their common subtext is "dumb/silly Mexicans should know better!"

Thank you for sharing that knowledge! Are there any books that go into greater detail about Texcoco and Mexico City that you recommend?

Just now seeing this! Cortéz's letters are really worth a read (I've read them in Spanish but I'm sure they're in English, too).

Can't think of anything else in English at the moment. Some more in Spanish: Visión de los vencidos. Also, book simply called Tenochtitlán.

That's the one! Also, there's a translation of Visión de los vencidos called The Broken Spears (can't speak to how good the translation is).
