Palos Verdes has been warned about landslides since the 1950s. They just got lucky and chose to ignore the issue for decades. That gentlemen especially should of known better.
This isn't new I've been hearing about it since the 70's. More than 50 years and these people think the government should fix it. Very wealthy neighborhood all the owners new the risks only they are responsible.
It's the buyers responsibility. These are, primarily, educated people who were aware - through full disclosure - of the risks associated living in the area.
The Governor can't stop landslides. The power has to be cut off to prevent fires. Beautiful homes, some have lived there for over 50 years, but this is Mother Nature, and you are powerless when it comes to Mother Nature.
@@0annonymous That's irrelevant to a condemnation. Get it? the building is CONDEMNED because it's too dangerous to live in it. Not having means to move or anywhere to go doesn't make it less SAFE. That's like ignoring a tsunami alarm because you don't have to means to leave or anywhere to go. Tell you what, YOU stay, Darwin.
Only rich people could have their homes split down the middle, yet the government did not step in and condemn the place even living there with disabled people. Just because you live in a rich city does not make you have common sense.
You obviously know nothing about the area. There are homeowners there that have had homes there since well before it was deemed valuable real estate. I grew up there and can tell you that it has not always been a town for rich people. Far from it. Man, people have to think before they talk smack and assume that all these people living there are rich. The first lady featured in the news piece has lived there for over forty years. It was a quiet, and mostly undeveloped area back then. All this talk about rich people losing their homes, cry me a river, shut up if you don't know what you're talking about
@@davidcrystal8886nah. All I had to do was go on Wikipedia to disprove your comments. Stats don’t lie. It’s been a wealthy, white community with a top tier public school system for several decades. It’s a shame what’s happened, but they have insurance.
@@davidcrystal8886 Yes it has always been for the well to do. Our parents used to take us kids to Marineland and I've always been amazed by the houses there.

She is the typical entitled person that expects blessings and has everything given to her. Now she wants a new home because that is what we do for the rich.
This is just a bunch of stupid. Did you know that San Diego has a real medical health hazard? For over 1,000 days raw sewage has been flooding our beaches. The heat has made it so bad that the Scripps research team had to leave. Meaning, the hazardous conditions are so bad research team decided that their health is at risk. It smells bad. Steaming portapotty in 90°F bad. This is an EMERGENCY. This is a health hazard.
This is tragic, but what can anyone do about it? I wouldn't want to waste resources trying to save any of those homes. Pack up your stuff and leave while it's still safe.
RPV homeowners ALL signed deed warning of sliding. All recent RPV homes on frequent slide areas is irrational. Taxpayers $$ should NOT be used on those who CHOOSE unstable area; same for many homes along flooding Mississippi River & wildfire areas. Owners need to insure homes against foreseeable disasters.
The rich people there want taxpayers to foot their bills and expenses because they decided to build/live there. The city allowed building there, not the state. Now they want the state to pay up? F that.
Everyone that Lives there..... Must Just Be Thankful.... For All the Years they've Enjoyed the Views.... That Most People will Never See.... There is No WY to Stop the Flow.... They All Must Leave.....
Problem: soft soils since the 60s. Future: Build homes on soft soils knowing the homes would slide. Now: City officials pay these people their money. Destroy the homes returning them back to nature. No need for bandaid of pouring more money in sliding homes.
@@NightlyHymnsyep. With 5 faults and one outside the coast it just may. Im in Sacramento which may be the new San Francisco. Terrifying. Been in 2 already when I lived in The City 38 years ago. If we get hit bad here I'm going to Wyoming 😅
It's not the governor's fault. It's the city's fault it was a known Landslide and fault houses should have never been allowed to be built on it. When they bought the home they were advised that it was on such location buyer's own risk and now they expect someone to pay for their own risk ????? Cite should have never allowed them to be resold .ALL developer and local city 100% responsible.......
My house was built on the Missouri River literally. You could fish off the deck. I knew that the river would reclaim it. I sold it and the mighty Missouri River returned.
These people are looking for a handout. Your insurance companies don't want to insure your home for a reason. Because everyone knows your place is falling apart. Your place is built on erosion. This is not new. Because you have always been given everything in life without much effort doesn't mean you deserve a free home now. You have enough money to buy another home or a place in a nursing facility. It is time to move on. They shouldn't by land that is shifting or eroding. If the government gives them money, then everyone must buy a home next to the ocean and get a free home when it falls apart. I lived in Torrance all my life, everyone knows Palos Verdes is on weak soil and it's eroding. Not a surprise! You should plan your life rich people not look for a handout. It is called adulting, learn it.
Comparing this to San Diego, a few years back the county office signed off for home builders to build house where the previous Native Indian and ancestors clearly put a sign on the rock warning "Sinking land. Do not build house here". We are truly voting for the brightest bunch.
The angry homeowners should be annoyed with themselves, for buying houses on land that was always known to be very unstable. I’ve seen geological surveys going back decades describing the propensity in the area for land slippage.
For sure, it's financial ruin for many who have a huge chunk of their wealth invested into the house. Most are retirees, living either on a pension or whatever they were able to save and invest. However, other than making sure they are hooked up with federal state benefits that they might qualify based on income (healthcare, housing and snap), I'm afraid there's little in the way of ground stabilization that the state can do when it comes to mother nature.
You people live in one of the wealthiest and prestigious areas of California where you built your home on a cliff. Now it is up to you to fix your problem... Not the rest of us tax payers.
That's a natural disaster and nothing is going to cover the costs of repairs. Those people might as well just move away and they'll have to take the loss. No one would be buying a house that's slowly ripping itself apart. That whole area will continue to suffer damage and I don't see how the utility companies could continue repairing line damage without charging customers. I think the problem is unsolvable and those homeowners should evacuate before there is a gas explosion or fire from electrical shorts. It's a very unfortunate situation and no one will take responsibility for financial losses. I couldn't sleep knowing I would be waking up to large cracks throughout my house every morning. That seems structurally dangerous.
California should have condemned the entire area 100 years ago and should do the same today. But with politicians being more interested in actions which get them reelected rather than financial responsibility and public safety, expect and endless supply of taxpayer money to be thrown at this problem that has no engineering solution. The area's slide is unstoppable and hundreds of feet deep.
Sounds like a wonderful reason to choose wisely which includes not building on the side of an area which has been unstable for hundreds of billions of years.
Not in Palos verdes. They got money. This is expected, she knew the house was on loose soil, erosion is expected. You got the money to buy it in Palos Verdes then you got the money to get out. NO HAND OUTS!
You bought in a slide area just like coastal home owners on the east coast assumed the risk of hurricanes. I'm sorry for your loss but its unfair to assume everyone else has to pick up the tab for your poor decisions.
I live in the middle,of NC and the people,living on the coast here and other states will have problems every few years at the very least! They expect the Government to compensate them whenever the coast,road is washed out! I heard FEMA is starting to say “no”!
They have now, at least in that immediate area. Imagine being someone who had sold a year or two ago... they got out just in time. No one's going to buy there now.
You can always start over with a home but you can't replace your life! This whole landslide issue was well known over 60 yrs ago, yet they chose to build and live there.
How can anyone feel bad for any of those people. The places rent on VBRO for 1,000-5,000K a night. Not only that these places did not fall apart overnight. These were built on erosion and unstable soil decades ago. This is a miracle it didn't already fall apart. This is someone with a ton of money complaining about something that is no surprise. Someone who can buy a new home somewhere else. Someone that should have already moved looking for a handout. It is ridiculous.
@@Kartzchen Perhaps some are wealthy, but others bought their homes decades ago for a few hundred thousand. Not all would be able to just buy another home.
While I have empathy for these people, they all gambled and are now losing. Time to call it and condemn the homes in the area. Calling government to action is a last grasp to avoid the inevitable. Nobody can stop this.
The earth shift is considerably worse, and far deeper, and faster, then what is visible on the surface - which is bad enough. Geologists have stated their concerns many times over - most of it landing on deaf, and dismissive, ears. Residents can either vacate, saving themselves and loved ones, or they'll eventually take a rocky ride to the ocean floor. Either way, they shall be leaving - fortunately, they still have a chance to exit the area safely. It's a bit karmic that the very community who made it clear that outsiders are not welcome, are no longer welcome themselves.
I am native to the area and whole heartedly agree with you. I have two friends that are geologists and have worked with local engineers. The county and city should be held accountable for allowing anyone to continue to build there a while ago.
Agree. Imagine the can of worms that would open if a real investigation was done to determine why the city/county went ahead with further development efforts in this area, when they knew full well it was already a slow moving disaster. Hope common sense prevails, and the residents move out in time. No one wants to hear of human casualties.
Have to say, I do understand that not EVERYBODY there is a high earner and/or wealthy (although probably many are). Just imagine, you bought decades ago, you haven’t got lots of money coming n, and now this. 😢. But apparently this has been a known issue for decades. Buyer beware. May each one find their way through.
Who could have known that these neighborhoods in the area would be unstable and fall into the ocean? That's never happened before! Sunken City: Am I a joke to you??
VERY SORRY for the houses lost and other hardships. And who would want to live there with Gavin Newsom and the earthquakes, mudslides and crime out the ying-yang. I USED to live there, a transplant from PA. Now I'm glad I left.
You as a homeowner neeed to evaluate the risk. If you're not wealthy and you knew that this was a possibility, you should have sold your million dollar home and got out on time.
No those people have been doing VBRO on those mansions. 1000-5000 a night. Those places are paid off. No insurance company is going to insure those. No one should have bought them. These are known to collapse of decades it has been expected. It truly is a miracle that lasted so many years. These people are looking for a handout. They got money, but can never have enough.
Yes, it very well could, but remember, God's in control of holding things together We also have a responsibility to properly manage what God has given each of us
WRONG. That cannot happen to me because I research before spending money. Don't you? None of my homes are at risk of sliding down the side of a mountain because I would never buy property on the side of a mountain. A fool and their money are soon parted, but foolishness is a choice.
Solution: Forbid people from ever building in this area. Do not waste money trying to fix the ground. The governor declares a state of emergency for Ranch Palo Verdes to allow the use of Federal funds to build 120 low cost apartment complex for displaced residents. The apartment complex will only cost $50 million - the same cost to trying to fix a century old problem that is doomed to fail.
I remember about thirty years ago, there was a homeowner there that, at his own expense, sunk anchor devices into the hill under the cliff that he had built his home on, laid down galvanized steel rebar and wire meshing, welded key points, and then sprayed "Gunnite," a kind of concrete wall stabilizer/re-enforcement, to solve and avoid these problems. He had gotten local building permits, but the "California Coastal Commission" went after him relentlessly and mercilessly. I don't know what the final outcome was, but it wasn't true that nobody tried to mitigate the problem, but I think that others learned a lesson about what would happen if someone tried to prevent or mitigate the problem beforehand. So, for the state to now "blame the victims" is the absolute height of hypocrisy and duplicity.😡
@@pat.l.h.2730 not true! It is affecting people who are not millionaires. And many of these people bought years ago before it got pricier. And because people may have money they don’t warrant sympathy? You’re jealous and cold!
this land has been sliding since the 60s. these houses should have never been built in the first place
The home owners did not know. They had trusted the builders and the county government that their homes were good where they were built.
No it's been happening since the 1900s and accelerated during 50s and 60s when they were trying to extend Crenshaw Blvd. People did know.

Very true, but these Cities will get a BAILOUT from County, State, Federal funds anyway. Rich and powerful get special treatment. Right ?

Houses should have never been there. Restore the area to its natural form. Ultimately it’s the counties fault for allowing development in the area.

Time to go----------
Like 2 decades ago
You as a homeowner neeed to evaluate the risk. If you're not wealthy and you knew that this was a possibility, you should have sold your million dollar home and got out on time.
No those people have been doing VBRO on those mansions. 1000-5000 a night. Those places are paid off. No insurance company is going to insure those. No one should have bought them. These are known to collapse of decades it has been expected. It truly is a miracle that lasted so many years. These people are looking for a handout. They got money, but can never have enough.
Vote newsome in for another term silly fools
These people are immensely wealthy, boo hoo
Yes, definitely are others, not so much
@@0annonymousNo, every single one of them.

Who puts their bed in front of the window?
I dont understand why people here are laughing.. it could happen anywhere to anyone. 🙄
“Anywhere”? Apparently you don’t know what a landslide is…
Yes, it very well could, but remember, God's in control of holding things together
We also have a responsibility to properly manage what God has given each of us
Nope.
WRONG. That cannot happen to me because I research before spending money. Don't you? None of my homes are at risk of sliding down the side of a mountain because
I would never buy property on the side of a mountain. A fool and their money are soon parted, but foolishness is a choice.
@@Comm0ut good for you
Don’t dream, it’s over
Nobody twisted their arms to build there. Even big bucks can't fix stupid
People knew it use to be a landfill but still stupid enough to move in the houses 😅
Good! Those houses are taking up public beaches
Now maybe I get a better view.
Wont somebody think of the millionaires
Solution: Forbid people from ever building in this area. Do not waste money trying to fix the ground. The governor declares a state of emergency for Ranch Palo Verdes to allow the use of Federal funds to build 120 low cost apartment complex for displaced residents. The apartment complex will only cost $50 million - the same cost to trying to fix a century old problem that is doomed to fail.
the cost to fix is around $1 billion if you include the replacing the homes and erosion control
@@edwardruiz8920 That's why my solution doesn't have that. Only a 120 unit apartment complex worth $50 million.
I remember about thirty years ago, there was a homeowner there that, at his own expense, sunk anchor devices into the hill under the cliff that he had built his home on, laid down galvanized steel rebar and wire meshing, welded key points, and then sprayed "Gunnite," a kind of concrete wall stabilizer/re-enforcement, to solve and avoid these problems. He had gotten local building permits, but the "California Coastal Commission" went after him relentlessly and mercilessly. I don't know what the final outcome was, but it wasn't true that nobody tried to mitigate the problem, but I think that others learned a lesson about what would happen if someone tried to prevent or mitigate the problem beforehand. So, for the state to now "blame the victims" is the absolute height of hypocrisy and duplicity.😡
That's really a shame that they should have never been built on eroding land
This is horrible. Bless these people that they get the help they need. 🙏❤
These are multi million dollar properties not something the average American can own. That said no sympathy.
@@pat.l.h.2730 not true! It is affecting people who are not millionaires. And many of these people bought years ago before it got pricier. And because people may have money they don’t warrant sympathy? You’re jealous and cold!
