Cities settle and build up all at once. If you’re in a new country like the states it’s less obvious, but I’m in a European city about a thousand years old, and you commonly see old doorways in limestone walls where the road has risen so much over the centuries that less then half remains above ground level, sometimes even more. It happens slower than we perceive, but cities are always settling and building over.
You generally don’t find a fully buried house or structure. You’ll typically find something like the floor and maybe 6-12 inches of a wall.
Drive down country roads and look at all the barns/abandoned houses/sheds that are collapsing and imagine that only the bottom 1-5% needs to be buried in dust and dirt to be preserved.
