"That house was special to me, and I dont know why?" Maybe it has something to do with it being a waterfront property that you paid a million for?
Idk why??..im tryin to feel for them i really am..✌
Or maybe it has to do with all the memories of raising their children.
A million ?? Shet you can’t even get a reg old house in the city for less then 1.3 million here. Water front cost you 3 million + . They’ll all be washed away within this century 😏

I am not even gonna try and sympathize with millionaires, noone should have more than one house
Don’t see how you could build a house on a cliff like that and find it hard to believe that could happen.
Liberal logic! That's how.
Lol
Liberal believe in thing like science and would know not to build a house there. Plus these folks rich, they Def Republican
@@gotchagracie3979 like Obama saying climate change is gonna cause sea rise and the world to end, but buys a huge mansion right on the coast? Yep, liberals ARE that stupid.
@@hunsadersrockinranch Hardly. These people lived in Texas and Florida.
The next door neighbor: "I think it is time to sell our house."
More like realising their property value just tanked. Who is going to buy that now?
@Liam Gallagher thank you Liam Gallagher from the late band Oasis
@@runningfromabear8354 hell I’ll give them FIVE BUCKS!!
nah the neighbor was tunneling under the house and causing it.
They are going to need to fill in that big crack in the back yard with some mortar first. 😁
Just regular people with a multimillion dollar lake house and an ocean front condo in miami...so relatable.
Stable or not I would never buy a house on a cliff. It always puzzles me when people like this are surprised they lost their house.
Damn it.........I thought I was going to literally watch a house fall off a cliff
Me too. It was a thumbs down from me!!!
More click bait
😂😂
All of my sympathies evaporated the moment the news anchor said " their OTHER waterfront property"
yep!
My heart breaks for those poor millionaires
Poor millionaires 😂🤣😂
hahahahahahaha!!!
Why are you so hateful?
😂😂😂 ya I lost interest when they said "we caught up with them in florida" phhhhthththttt.
these are the best homes......its like owning a BMW. Its a good idea at the time, I mean look at the view.
How the hell do you buy a house on the cliff and you don't have proper insurance
The proper insurance said OH HELL NO. WERE NOT GONNA INSURE THAT.
Earthquake insurance is VERY expensive, and Florida, as far as I know, is not a very earthquake-prone state, so the homeowners probably decided not to carry earthquake insurance. And given the fact that they were told by geologists and inspectors that the ground was stable, I think their decision was reasonable. I do predict a lawsuit against the geologists and inspectors, however....
The house on the cliff is not in Florida. And the problem is not caused by an earthquake.
The video is misleading as to the location of the house in question. Doesn't say where the house itself is, but _does_ clearly say that the homeowners are in Florida. Poor journalism.
And you're right -- the problem isn't caused by an earthquake. But the insurance policy apparently excludes "earth movement". To get a policy that covers "earth movement", you would presumably have to buy earthquake coverage. That was my point.
Is there a place in florida that looks like that? Looks more like california or something. I think.
“Even with their emotions as unsettled as the ground beneath their house” SAVAGE
My late Grandmother was a early settler of Southern California. I’ll never forget watching house “slip off” on to the Pacific Coastline and her saying “What did they think they were buying? That house was 5-7 yrs old, house BEFORE it was 5-7 yrs old, and before it the same until you get back to the 1950’s. ALL of them slipped the cliff..”
Very much the classic “senior moment”, I had to admit she was right.
My tears dried up pretty quick after I learned about their second luxury home 😂
It’s very “tough” not having two beach front houses.
🤪😂🤣
Oh have a day off, they worked hard for that million dollars so to see it fall into the lake is gonna be soul destroying, go and be salty elsewhere
It's called generational wealth
@@thethirdlife8695 And you'd know that how?
@@thethirdlife8695 how tf do you know that?
_"Geologist and inspectors telling them it was perfectly stable"_
video shows at the very same time, aerial view of a severely undercut cliff face
_That's not how the house was when they bought it!!!_
Clinging on with a crack that is only going to widen and break off. That crack runs halfway through the house.
Their other property is a beachfront condo?? Trust me, they’ll be fine!
Yeah in Miami
Doesn’t mean it’s fine...
I would say their financial morons because they built their retirement nest egg on Sand maybe next time build it on solid rocks🤔
@@originalfiremancancelled7303 ***They’re
exactly my thoughts .. they are will off. what is even a million?
Must be nice to have 'another' waterfront property.
scooterbaby1 why would you not feel sorry for them just because they have worked for their money ?
scooterbaby1 true ahahahaha
@@olskabeams2843 Because the vast majority of Americans could work multiple jobs and might never even own a single property.
@scooterbaby1 that’s pretty sad you look at them that way. Yes he may have been well off, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s their home. How can you say you dint feel bad for someone who lost a home they spent their life savings on? No matter what the cost is.
@scooterbaby1 they bought it, and only after they were told it wouldn’t be an issue. I’ll bet you don’t have 2 nickels to rub together if you really hate them that bad just because they have more than you. Sad life eh?
You know you have money when you don’t know why a million dollar house is special. Geez
Right🤣
These people have a second home.
When people lose everything in a fire such as those who lived in Paradise , CA..it is difficult for me to feel too sorry for these folks. This house is over 4000 square feet. Maybe choosing property further from the cliffs and ocean would have been a better choice. Cliffs erode, especially those that are so close the.sea.
We have an island that goes almost the entire coastal length of Texas. Developers built hotels all along the southern half. Every year, folks from all over coastal Texas donate their Christmas trees to toss out into ocean (they have to be clean, no tinsel, etc) to help keep the sandbars up. Sand is transported from inland (where it blew) and taken back out to the island and dumped. If these two things weren't done, continuously, the island would be gone. This is how nature works.
I'd like to know how these people had this kind of money in the first place when they obviously cannot understand the effects of water crashing up against soil.
probably inherited. and never needed to use their brain because it's daddy's money
@@surveyguyor8958 Well said. And their grandparents probably owned slaves!
@@SURENITY That's an idiotic assumption.
@@SirWeggington but probably true... you can't deny the past.
If your land slips away into the ocean/lake, do you still have to pay property taxes on the land that disappeared?
😂
Lol
Good question.
There are appeal processes to request revisions.
If you have a home mortgage, that mortgage still has to be paid in full just as if nothing happened. Insurance may not cover any of the loss. One may have the right to sue City building permit department but chances are that may take years and extremely expensive. One may be throwing good money after bad, trying to collect by suing permit dept, geologists, builder.
Why would any builder build that close to the edge of a cliff?
This house is many years old from the looks of it, It was not built that close to it back in the day. The cliff kept falling and moving towards the house
Nancy Desch Rich people think they can do whatever they want on gods earth. there are some places we simply should not live.
Nancy Desch For the drama of the view. It gives an unobstructed bird's eye view of the lake.
grodhagen LOL, Good one.
Over time they lost more and more of their property. Maine, Mass, Florida, California and many other states also are loaded with homes along the coast. When these places were built. No one knew that these things could happen. Today we know so much more about these things. A bit too late for some.
I'm glad I'm poor, I can't afford a house on a cliff overlooking the lake as I enjoy my coffee in the morning, I guess they couldn't either
Ew poor people ugh🤮🤮🤮🤮
I was like, "that is terrible"
then they mention the "OTHER" waterfront property. I'm sure it was a huge loss, but I'm also sure they ended up filing a lawsuit against whomever sold the house. given she said they bought it in 2012, they probably will win. they're obviously somewhat wealthy so they will hire a good lawyer. they'll recoup most of the losses crying in their Miami waterfront condominium.
Another TV story on this house showed a neighbor in a boat offshore, looking at this, and remarking that they offered the previous owner cash to entice him to sell to them. If that's true, then a lawsuit might not have been possible if the house originally wasn't for sale and therefore the previous owner made no claims about it.
Don't be insensitive....wealthy people get attached to and have emotional attachments to their belongings too. Be careful...your jealously is showing.
momthree789 Except that she said she didn't even know why that massively huge house right on the lake was so special to her.
And wealthy people support the middle class on down (look at the government figures). So bow down to them, they are more productive.
People starving in the streets but we should feel sorry for rich people with multiple properties? I was homeless when I was in my 20's. This story, and these people, and YOU, have never had any REAL hardships. Trust me, it's not jealousy when I say these people are idiots for buying a house on a cliff.
I have never seen such ugly comments. This is someone’s home, that they have worked for, made memories in, and cherish. Wealthy people have souls and are genuine people too. Money isn’t everything. This is very tough and I hope the best for them.
Ikr
They're jealous. I'm not judging cause I used to be like that till I became a stronger Catholic. Being thankful is a struggle, but it's made me a much happier person, I'm no longer as miserable, and I hope someday they turn to Jesus and see the error of the sin of jealousy and covetousness.
Note to self: Don't buy a house on a cliff, in a steep valley where it snows or has heavy rains, downstream from a dam, or on the oceanfront.
*..Did you not Know You Purchased a House which Backed to A Cliff Overlooking A Lake? You Did?? How Do You Think The Cliff Originally Formed...?*

mother nature does what she wants and you can not stop her
I don’t understand why people would build a house on a cliff. Scary!!!
*"Its gone.. Its gone."*
*Me: you have millions and two houses though.* 😒
Who cares if they have millions though. The loss is felt proportionally. Let nature deprive you of some of your earthly possessions and the person at a lower rung of the economic scale will say "well you had two of the same and a few bucks saved up though.😒". Quit being a hater and have some decency.
Miura marley yeah they can buy a new house. Their fault for building one or buying one on a cliff. Got money but no Brain. They just wanted to flaunt money. Look at my cliff...nevermind. 😆.
Also by looking at the cliff that isn't stable rock in general. Kinda looks like a limestone or something. We have people who build houses in the city I'm in on a cliff side. They learned the hard way. It's a dirt cliff, the cliff was made from years and years of erosion from the river. It's just dirt. Nothing sturdy. A bad rain and parts starts eroding, That's nature.
them should stay and go with it... material things
Right there cry babies
I mean this is the risk you take when building a house on a cliff...
Rich People: "It's really tough, you know..."
Mother Nature: "Get Out!"
Well if you're dumb enough to build a house near a cliff knowing mother nature and erosion is going to get it eventually
THEY AT LEAST HAVE ANOTHER HOME --- SOME HAVE NONE.
oh they have another one? i did't hear that part, i dont feel bad now lol. also why they spend so much money on a house on a cliff 🙄.
Help the homeless first, not the ones with spare homes.
@@W_T_D always!
I would never build a house so close to a cliff or water.
Stop complaining.... You bought a house at the edge of the cliff
If you can two waterfront properties, both over a million bucks, I’m not shedding a tear.
Build your house on the edge of a clifff? I don't think so. I saw this same thing happen here in Alaska recently. It took 20 years though.
U still have ur health...cheer up!!
that was just one of her favorite house
'' the last straw that broke the camel's back''--- it;s the added weight of the house that cause the cliff to give way, not to mention the drilling ,the piling works and the digging during construction can be contributing factors to a weakened cliff
It’s sad, but they’re well healed, not homeless. Those are risks they took to have the pleasure of living near water and on a cliff.
So sorry, you've worked hard, got your dream home, was told everything was fine. Then this!! Heartbreaking, hope you're both happy now and that you've both moved on. Also glad you weren't hurt. Love from Australia xx💗💗💗💗
You rock! Honestly ...fellow Australian here and I just commented there was no need for people to be jealous or bitter, I share your sentiments myself, they seem to have the situation in perspective but it's a huge loss!
'Other waterfront property .. awwwwwwwwwwwwwww"
You buy a house that's at the end of a Clif. You know what your signing off.
Some people are blessed beyond the norm, it doesn't mean they're bad. There's landscapers pool cleaners maids who get work because of wealth. What should everybody be stuck in debt? Living one month to the next. Some of these comments below are very selfish and cruel, and honestly they reflect
a heart that doesn't deserve wealth.
Well said👏🏼
How the hell is a poor person being selfish!!!!
@@reglook1 Selfish is thinking about yourself and not ours. A homeless guy on the street can be selfish.
@@robertpeters4075 Who died and left you God, to decide what heart deserves wealth.
@@reglook1 Jesus Christ Died for me and I accept that. He is my Savior. He came to save sinners not the
self righteous. I will accept the great life I have had. Sounds like you need to realize you're a sinner and not a
very nice person.
They don't seem that heartbroken 😆. Though it is always risky to live by a cliff
The neighbors are next look at the crack
Huerta LaPaz they will never be able to sell that house.
Gotta have 4000 square feet for two people. "Really tough." Poor rich people.
Hope their miami beach home wasn't surfside... that would be terribly ironic eh
This is what happens when people just have to live on a cliff OR right on the water just FOR THE VIEW !!!
Wait, being rich doesn’t make you invincible?
I rejected two houses because I could see this was a possibility. One could someday fall and the other could be fallen into by what was behind it.
They have two properties - they're doing fine.
You take your chances, no body made them build there
Had a house down the road, really sucked to see that happen. Beautiful house nice people.
The price you pay to be near the water. This is something you need to think about before you build or buy.
Another case of homes built where there probably used to be forests which hold soil together.
The house next door may be next, a huge chunk of their yard is going as well. And for everybody who is bemoaning their financial status, c'mon, if it was you and a home you loved and invested in you would be devestated as well.
at least they have a 2nd waterfront property
My uncle is going through something similar on lake Ontario. Only he is losing a plot with an RV on it.
If I'm the person who sold them this back in 2012 all I would be feeling now is...... Whew
I remember watching this on TV. In fact. If I remember right. Insurance didn't want to pay. Because it was considered a natural disaster. Not sure of the ending results on that issue. Rich or poor. It is a horrific moment for anyone. They made a remark such as yours, Todd Hageman; about the tsunami in US Southern states too. Human is human. Have a heart. No I am not rich. Not even close. Trauma is trauma. Period. For everyone.
I never laughed so hard in my life.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha does my heart good!😁
That's what happens building on the coast. Nature always reclaims its own.
God bless them. May God restore what they lost. 🙏
Great, keep buying property on edge of cliffs
Nothing is forever. In a minute it's gone.
Should be a government law to stop rich people from owning multiple homes without living in them at the same exact time.
Sue the town engineer, should've never let this development happen.
Nature reclaiming Her territory!!😂
I wish the ocean would wash all the homes on its border. The beach is for all of us not just the rich.
Who cares if there rich or not. They are people who made good decisions in life besides buying That house . Quite coveting and get yourself to make your own good decisions and prosper
Oh Boo Freaken Hoo! These people have another home on the Florida coast so Zero sympathy for them. When you buy a house by any kind of water they better have made a "good decison" to get insurance in case something like this happens. I stand by my original comment; I wish for a title wave to clear the coast from rich snobs that try and own the coast that belongs to us all, not just them! OH and PS learn how to spell: QUIT!! LOL
this is a lake, not the ocean.
watchgoose no duh watchgoose. I was just stating my opinion about these rich ass holes trying to own beachfront or lakefront properties, don't be so literal!
you were pretty specific on "Beach" and Ocean"
No one is safe living in a house close to a cliff. Sometimes when the experts say walk,you run.
it's unfortunate for them but honestly most people who are simply struggling to pay rent won't be losing sleep over this. their interviews seem a bit tone deaf.
These people don't learn...they bought a condo on miami beach that will most likely be under water by 2030!
they have questionable tastes for sure. There is no climate change? wonder how they feel now. Earth has always changed, sometimes violently. Just because we are here doesn't mean things will be different.
Under water by 2030? Ummmm, no.
Republicans.....
@@roylavecchia1436 another Ian could happen to miami...
Rich people, gosh we feel soooo sorry for them!
Yeah, that house on the cliff was a Great, Great decision.
Livin on the edge...literally.
🤣😂😩
In Palos Verdes, CA back in the 70's there was a guy wanted to build a mansion on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. PV rejected his permit application stating the area was unstable, it would be a risk to build there.
The guy sued PV, raised a big stink, threatened for multi-millions for refusing his application. PV surrendered and let him have his building permit.
Fast forward about 5 years and his mansion is slipping into the ocean because the ground's giving way.
He sued PV for allowing him to build there. I Think he won, too.
Omg ! Did u notice that GIANT CRACK on the cliff near the next house ,oh boy they will be watching there house falling down too ! INEVITABLE WHEN YOU BUILD ON THE EDGE OF A CLIFF !
Why would you live on a dirt cliff!???? Hmm I wonder what could ever happen years from now....duh!
Worth a million dollars…
Maybe 10 years ago.
whoever builds so close to the water must expect to be in it soon. But hey, the main thing is to have a great view.
maybe next they will build or buy a house on some railway tracks..lmfao
Jason Faulkner 🤣🤣🤣😂
It’s not your life grandpa, it’s your house. Lucky for you you have another waterfront house to go into.
I wish i could afford ONE house lol
This is what Materialistic faith sounds & looks like. They said a building was there life not life’s work.
Other waterfront property? Yeah I think they're fine
There's a sand cliff in my village that keeps falling very slowly every year. And then there's a shed hanging off of that cliff and refusing to fall. The cliff keeps falling around it and the shed still stands. Every year I come there and think when will it finally fall xD
That's funny!
@@SURENITY And it's still standing to this day xD
@@AllergicToMakeBelieve Okay, I'll try to remember 🤣It's still standing though
What could possibly go wrong with a house built right on the edge of a cliff?
45 degrees is always the magic number in physics....
If your ever digging dont undermine anything closer than 45 degrees....
The fact that this guy was walking around on that crack is crazy
You build a house on the edge of a cliff and are in disbelief it fell😑
Seriously. It's like those idiots you hear in the news stories every hurricane season. There's always one. "They built their first house here 17 years ago. It was destroyed in a hurricane four years later. But they're not quitters, they rebuilt. And then 9 years later, another hurricane destroyed THAT house. Undeterred, they rebuilt once more. And today, another hurricane has carried their house off into the surf." (Cutaway to the people who have suffered through this three times now) *"WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO US???!!!!!!!!!"* she blubbers and bawls......
I have zero sympathy for people who can't take the frackin' hint.
*proceeds to build mansion on top of Mt. Vesuvius*

Fantastic view.
Common sense would tell you not to build a house in such risky location.
That house is going to need new sidings .
It'll buff right out.
