Actually, I lived right across the street from those apartment buildings in 1983. They are just apartment buildings, nothing swank or superior about them. At that point people have been living there for decades. They knew if they moved they would not be able to afford anywhere else to live.

Couldn't say it better myself .

Mother Earth 1 - Humans 0

I saw no indication that anyone in that area had “tons of money” quite the contrary

We all support this numb nuttery with our insurance bills.

Yes to both issues and it is a stupid idea,...pouring concrete into a sink hole... more stupid California government?

No, engineering logic. Stop putting politics where it makes no sense.

Exactly.

Reminds me of Marineland of the Pacific and the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The Earth: It Moves! lol

@@theyetirulrs Sadly the state is run by democrats who blindly follow their idiot leader, instead of actual thought. as evidenced by our (NON) efforts to remove underbrush to prevent fires, or renew our crumbling infrastructure

Yes a complete wast of money.

Ever looked at you username?

@@shm6ney sure. I’ll get right on that.

They’re Californians - they do what they want, not what they should, or shouldn’t do.

Hey, let's fill up the ocean!

If you go back 40/50 years ago that shoreline was way different than what you see today. It's taken decades for it to come this condition (that and politicians that didn't take the problem seriously til just a few years ago) and honestly there's no real solution, and it will be because of $$$$ it would've take then as opposed to now.......

not much different from the idiots who go live in a city below sea level, right on the coastline. Uh, nope. Have fun with that.

Definitely a case of more money than brains! =)

@Jack Hoff It's funny to every geologist and architect, that people actually think building on sand was a bad idea. Sand is a very stable and compressable surface to build upon. You want to walk away from anything biological like forest ground that will decompose, but sand is just fine...at least when there is no water source eroding it from underneath.

@@heyrod59 Then building should probably be built with an eye to the future, don't you suppose? When I had the well drilled on our property, they took into account where the water might rise to during a "the worse flood for a hundred years" and had me put it there accordingly. Because of what MIGHT happen, decades in the future. That people will know what's coming in the future and overlook it to make the quick money, and townships are okay with that is really the issue.

...BUT FOR HOW LONG?!

Well it's either that or burn and wash down hill

And who granted permits?

Quick money, and they are gone.

Well, did you see the contractor? Those people love scamming people for $$$$

more like very weak clay and sand, cali dirt is some of the most weakest dirt in the world, it's why they used to have seasonal mud slides, so weak, only takes 20 minutes of rain to start slides

@@spark2053 contractors are not the same thing as developers. Plus you have city zoning committees who should have stopped the developers from the land in the first place.

@@Phurzt who do think pay money so make a land pass all tests and who gets that money . A big scam that’s it

Here in America democrats think the world will bow to them.

Thanks.

It probably was not this close when built!

Back in the day it was more about money than safety. We see it all the time on old structures that are not maintained well built well, and to scenarios like this. Someone makes money 40 or 50 years ago and are long gone. The legacy is people today pay the price.🤔

Money talks no matter how stupid the idea!

@@railroad9000 Sandy cliffs like this can easily erode several meters each year. So for a house that is supposed to be livable for a few decades, anything less than 800m from a cliffs edge is too close.

Thank you. These people are idiots. Build on a cliff of sand on the oceans edge and then shocked when it collapses.

NO.............

@@oldcountryman2795 The investors knew the recent erosion rates and They knew they had 50 years to make their money. They got a lot less due to Weather Modification Global Attacks by endless Storm... Under IONIZED SKIES

There is no proof earth is a billion years old.

They been eroding since the 1st puddle formed...billions of years ago

I blame the rising oceans due to global warming

In this case, I just blame water erosion, just happens wherever water is. Climate change can only slow it or increase the process

@@Wailwulf nah the blame solely lies on human stupidity and naivety

@@liebestraumboi3366 It's not global warming. It's the wave action on the soil (as opposed to rock), besides there's no such thing as man made global warming.

@@liebestraumboi3366 I wondered if the increased carbon dioxide has anything to do with speeding up the process? Doesn't it create carbonic acid? That's how we got karst landscapes in my country - limestone eroding faster with the weak acid dripping through groundwater. There sure do seem to be a lot of sinkholes worldwide.

Yep !

and all the crazies in CA will say it is because of Global warming even though this has been going on for THOUSANDS of years.

It isnt mother nature darling, this is biblical! The Lord is talking but no one is listening

AHHHHHHH Greta will freak out sand displaces water. OCEAN RISING??

You can't tell some people. Pretty soon they'll be doing stupid sheet like trying to ban elements of the photosynthetic cycle.

Amen 🙏

@@Larry-xf3qt Amen!

Thank you all for telling some TRUTH..GOD BLESS YOU....

Well if u look at it, the property has paid itself off and the insurance gets to pay also, its a win win and people get to feel sorry for them.

I've lived in Cali. Not the brightest bunch there, tbh. When you think about it, the whole state was settled for decadence out of avarice. Let the Earth take it back.

I don't think they were on the edge when they built them.

The trees had nothing to do with how these cliffs naturally erode. It is the surf under cutting the cliffs, allowing gravity to pull it down. Would still happen even if the trees the were there were still there. This case is some what man made (somewhat "man made" as the surf is still doing what it does in the erosion process) in that the drainage pipe started releasing water in the ground due to a leak, speeding up the process. No leak, or no pipe at all, and the cliff would have taken much longer to start collapsing. EDIT: Corrected "poll" to "pull" and changed "mage" to "made"

@@Wailwulf still if they had put a concrete defence wall years ago with trees also to stabilise the ground this situation would have been improved

That's brushland. The trees and the water they need were imported.

@@nyakwarObat they couldn't do that. That would have eaten into the developer's profits.

I don’t mean to be that guy, but I’m gonna be that guy… Correction: their

Exactly what I was thinking ... maybe this is "littoral equity". Small ray of hope is that the rest of America gets to see the inevitable fruits of identity politics and mob rule before we all go down the drain

So moving inland isn't a possibility in your book I take it 🤔

@@scorpionsdogG64 there's a higher lead content inland, they could get poisoned

That will be a great day, California will be gone. Crap if that happens that means All those liberal nuts will have to move to the remaining states. Maybe we should save them?

Safe to say, they were far off in dreamland, slumbering peacefully- wholly unawares of the calamity coming down upon their heads.

it is better to build upon the shifting sands than the rock which will confound you on the day it shatters.

The foolish man built his house on the sand they say

When they were built. the edge of the bluff was 50 feet away from the buildings. They were sold to cheeseballs moving to CA from the east coast, because no native Californian would touch them.
