I moved to Ca. in 1959 and have been seeing this happen most my life. I question how the building/planning departments are able to give out building permits in these areas? The stilted beach homes are even worse. Cool to look at but tend to fall down or burn down.

Back in the 70's I used to fly gliders up in Palos Verdes. Talked to a guy there who told me about some millionaire wanted to build a house by the cliff, the city rejected his plans telling him the land was unstable, and it was too risky to build there. So, of course, the guy sued the city, the city gave in and gave him his permits. A couple years later the land started to slide, his house was lost. So what did he do? Sued the city for granting him the permits to build there. Of course.

@@tgj5680 There was an earthquake a week prior and the water leak was a result of that. The water leak was discovered after 2 days and the water was shut off to that pipe immediately, which would have been days before the homes started falling. Initially the neighbors wondered if it was the pipe that caused this, until they realized that a crater a mile long opened up due to seismic activity and many neighboring neighborhoods were also destroyed, not just the homes on this block that were in close proximity to the water leak. The block that first reported houses falling were single family homes, but you can see in the updated videos now that a lot of the homes that started falling later are multi-family apartments from nearby neighborhoods, much farther than a water leak would have affected.

Oh, this is bad for the homeowner. This is "land movement", and like earthquakes will not be covered under the standard homeowner policy. Coverage for this would have fallen under an explicit "earth movement" policy, which few even know about and nobody has. For those in CA, read your coverage. By the way, note that the city guy in the hard hat even said, "... this is caused by land movement". That sure doesn't help. This will come up in the inevitable lawsuit, which the homeowner will probably lose. Lastly, the city official telling the guy, "we've got you." Right... I think temporary housing vouchers is going to be the extent of that.

The wealthy people in LA may have the best views living in these hills, but when it comes to natural hazards, they are living in the worst regions possible, when it comes to flash floods, landslides and fires. They are always the most affected 🤷‍♂️

This is what happens when builders construct homes in areas known to be unstable and/or prone to landslide, earthquake, fires, flooding, tornado, hurricane etc... It might not happen today or tomorrow, but the clock is always ticking.

Here’s a good thought: build a house on a steep hill with several more side-by-side. But wait, these homes with their brick roofs can weigh in at +/-650,000 lbs (live load) or +/-320 tons. What could possible go wrong?

@@dankelly5150 Makes you wonder what these insurance agents are taught in college. Just looking for any loophole to avoid paying for damages incurred by weather, or environmental failures. Look at how State Farm avoids insuring homes due to the brush fires in California. How in the heck can kids drive a car in the state paying double the premium that other kids pay in cheaper states, and I really can't say cheaper, because they would still be paying an arm and a leg then most adults over fifty. Honestly, who would the insurance companies rather insure today? The all responsible adult who pays less, or the more care- free teenager who would pay a much more higher premium, but risking rolling the dice and coming up snake eyes with an accident that the insurance company has to pay out?
