Well, the ocean IS getting higher as glaciers melt, so it's likely that what used to be considered a reasonable distance back from the ocean has changed. Another 10 years & a whole new set of houses will be the new beachfront property. He'll, part of Miami floods constantly.

Went there 4 years ago. Were many houses like this. There were a lot of neighborhoods that you practically drive in the ocean to get to. It's not a very pretty place. Just these ugly rental houses. The wild horses were cool and the light houses.
As someone who grew up on the ocean, these are rarely built directly on the beach. They're usually built way before erosion gets up to it. If anything, they probably just came from inland and got screwed on the deal. The previous owner probably knew with time this would happen, which would be why they sold. And didn't care these people were ignorant to what was gonna happen.

sorta. The problem is some areas don't erode so people build there. then there might be somewhere else a few miles down the beach that is eroding, but the people who live there are much richer and pay for techniques to stop their section of beach erroding. But you cant stop erosion you just move it on to the next guy. So poor people usually have to suffer the consequences more.
@@ry8539 This is a shifting sand bar. There are inlets trying to open and close naturally, often where people buit previously. It’s ok, everyone here knows this who lives there. No one losing a beach house is poor. It’s planned for.
Stop repeating bullshit comments you read somewhereelse. Its not natural erosion thats the problem here. Its people not knowing when and where to dig for new properties…. Regurgitation dumb dumb
The house wasnt built on the oceans edge, you can even look on google maps and see entire roads under the water, this house was built multiple blocks away from the ocean, sands shift, winds change, rivers meander. Shit happens sometimes, you are just letting your jealousy and ignorance show.
That house had hundreds of yards of beach just six years ago. It had massive natural dunes in front of it. The house was built in the 1960's. Back then it was far from the ocean. No one knew anything about Climate Change back then. The homeowners on Hattetas Island pay tremendously large monthly insurance premiums. They can only get insurance through Lloyd's of London. Thats why vacationing on Hatteras Island is so expensive. But, if you want the best island beach experience, you want world class surf fishing, you want the best East Coast surfing and kiteboarding, you go to Hatteras. Do not judge homeowners until you know the story. Insurance premiums are also high because of increased flash floods, mud slides, tornados, stronger hurricanes, and wild fires. Not everyone can live in a boring weather town. Help your neighbors, don't judge them. Hatteras is one of the most unique peaceful places on earth.
If it was due to climate change / rising sea levels - this would be happening everywhere. I still visit beaches that are identical today to photos my father had from his childhood - that's pics from 70 years ago - exactly nothing has changed. The problem here is sand erosion - plain & simple
@@tobyh4950 The main problem is, that you don't understand how the climate changes affects the world. Yes some areas seems fine, for the moment, but other areas gets the full wrath of the changes here and now, and it'll only get worse in the future, and even your father's childhood beaches will be affected in the near future. Climate changes are real and can't be ignored for much longer.
For those who love to live next to the sea, oh well! I am born and raised on the island, I used to panick to the sound of the loud waves in the dark of nights. I certainly DONT miss it at all. I live now in the desert, and I feel much safer. 😢😢😊
I used to vacation here in the 80s. There used to be a very wide strip of sand between all of the homes and the ocean. I never saw a home that I would have thought was too close to the ocean. Sea leve rise is to blam, not the owners.
@rupe53 nobody said it wasn't common, but to hang on like that without moving is pretty impressive. Been doing HVAC for 30 yrs, rare to see a standard outside unit attached to the platform. Its usually just sitting there.
@@bobriggins8862 Yeah, at most homes they sit on the ground but near the water or in areas like a flood zone it's been code around here for well over 10 years to have them raised. Over so many square feet they need railings and such just like a deck. Propane tanks also need securing to the ground, so they don't float away. I did HVAC and gen sets since 1988 so have seen many changes over the years.
I feel bad for people who lose their homes and I certainly don't want anyone hurt, but when you build or buy a home that sits right on the edge of our oceans, do you not think that there may come a day when this kind of thing will happen? I love the beaches and the serenity of the ocean, but I wouldn't live right on it for fear of this.
It's not the only reason. While it's stupid to build a house close to any uncontrolled body of water, people can't control if hurricanes or tornados damage their homes either.

As a European iv never understood why Americans build carboard houses when you have extreme weather conditions... Also building a house on a beach is asking for it
Don't know what country that your living in but please keep in mind what a huge country the USA is and that not all homes are build this way..Also the no window screens coming standard to homes is a bit hard to take. Disease carrying mosquitos like the ones who transmit West Nile virus are now prevalent in Germany for example .In addition we have an invasive poisonous spider and all the nasty flies coming in whenever your cooking..talk about asking for it.
My German grandfather was an architect. He would always shake his head and complain about how homes here are built, and that was even way back in the 60’s.
Americans have no standards or appreciation for quality or longevity. They are very short-sighted. I say this as an American who is appalled by all of this.
@@TomF18 ,My uncle actually builds homes stateside and I will reiterate ,it does depend on the region of the USA and of course the home builder companies themselves.
Yep at least 15 years ago when I first went out there, that house had been abandoned and was super close to the water... I physically could walk under it as I strolled on the beach (although I didn't).
A) House does not look that old. B) _ANYONE_ could have known this could (eventually _would_ ) happen, especially if they had the sense to research the area's history and geography.
Living by the sea used to be a poor people schtic. My advice is if you live near the ocean, sell your house to the rich fool whos still willing to buy jt
Not in the ocean,but the Outer Banks of N.Carolina. It is about 100 miles of open beach which also protects mainland N. Carolina from storm surge during hurricanes . But yeah,have to agree,not a great place to build your home.
It wasn't built in the ocean. Over time the beach has eroded and ocean has met up with this home, claiming it. Our beaches are deteriorating as we speak, especially on barrier islands, like the Outer Banks.

Look, the everyday contractor would also tell you not to build here. The house itself is still intact… it hasn’t collapsed. It simply had a crappy foundation. No inspector should have allowed these idiots to even begin construction.

He should be laughing at all of us who are criticizing him. He has better memories from a single year of living in that home than in a lifetime of most of us.
Down in outer-banks these houses are built on stilts that go down at least 60 feet, the ocean did break these stilts in half, the house was at least 15 feet above the ocean. That being said, I feel no one should be allowed to build a house on a barrier sandbar!

That was going to be my comment but atleast I was #420 to like on your comment 😂
Was getting ready to post the same thing, til I came across yours..😂
Imagine looking outside one day, and your house is floating in the middle of the ocean.
Don’t ask taxpayers to rebuild that house. If you build on sand and at the OCEAN’s edge you must remember choices have consequences.
Agree. This has been happening in the Outer Banks forever and will only get worse.
And claim the beach as their property
The house wasnt built on the oceans edge, you can even look on google maps and see entire roads under the water, this house was built multiple blocks away from the ocean, sands shift, winds change, rivers meander. Shit happens sometimes, you are just letting your jealousy and ignorance show.
Bad chioces!
@@carriereid6933God owns ALL of it!❤🎉 Amen
"Call 911 and tell them."
What are they going to do? Arrest the ocean for destruction of property?
They'd probably try to arrest the owners ( who deserve it, polluting the oceans with all that crap.
😂😂😂
I got confused when she said that😅
May be broken natural gas lines. Could be dangerous.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude in the blue house just upgraded from semi-oceanfront to oceanfront overnight!! Raise the rent, bro.
Hey honey, good news.
We now have oceanfront property.
Bad news.
We are next.
It's so hard to feel bad for rich beach front a holes😮
That house had hundreds of yards of beach just six years ago. It had massive natural dunes in front of it. The house was built in the 1960's. Back then it was far from the ocean. No one knew anything about Climate Change back then. The homeowners on Hattetas Island pay tremendously large monthly insurance premiums. They can only get insurance through Lloyd's of London. Thats why vacationing on Hatteras Island is so expensive. But, if you want the best island beach experience, you want world class surf fishing, you want the best East Coast surfing and kiteboarding, you go to Hatteras. Do not judge homeowners until you know the story. Insurance premiums are also high because of increased flash floods, mud slides, tornados, stronger hurricanes, and wild fires. Not everyone can live in a boring weather town. Help your neighbors, don't judge them. Hatteras is one of the most unique peaceful places on earth.
Only 6 houses in 30 years. It’s due to changing tides and erosion not riding sea levels.
Also, don't live in a house that is built on the beach.
If it was due to climate change / rising sea levels - this would be happening everywhere.
I still visit beaches that are identical today to photos my father had from his childhood - that's pics from 70 years ago - exactly nothing has changed. The problem here is sand erosion - plain & simple
@@tobyh4950 The main problem is, that you don't understand how the climate changes affects the world.
Yes some areas seems fine, for the moment, but other areas gets the full wrath of the changes here and now, and it'll only get worse in the future, and even your father's childhood beaches will be affected in the near future. Climate changes are real and can't be ignored for much longer.
Now I understand --- sea levels rise in some areas but not others because reasons.🤪
Insurance companies should not give policies to these people.
Many don't
100 percent correct
For those who love to live next to the sea, oh well!
I am born and raised on the island, I used to panick to the sound of the loud waves in the dark of nights. I certainly DONT miss it at all. I live now in the desert, and I feel much safer. 😢😢😊
Does one wonder why the Taino and South American people didn't build here?
I live on a small island. 1/3 of a mile from the water at close to the highest point.
I used to vacation here in the 80s. There used to be a very wide strip of sand between all of the homes and the ocean. I never saw a home that I would have thought was too close to the ocean. Sea leve rise is to blam, not the owners.
You still need to be aware of flash flooding in the desert!
@@mendyboio3917but we’ve known for your there rising. I’m guessing these homes were built there before all the earrings of rising water levels ???
Insurance companies really should stop insuring these people. It's ludicrous
What was 911 supposed to do??
Sad loss, hopefully there wasn't anyone in the house, or pets. 😢❤
They can warn shipping if large pieces of floating debris break off. So sad isnt it literally someone's home
It was a joke dude.
Maybe rescue anyone who may still be in the house?
I agree.
Notify the appropriate authorities or sources
Whoever mounted that AC condenser is a construction God! It wasn't even wiggling.
it's actually pretty common to have AC or gen sets on a platform attached to the house.
@rupe53 nobody said it wasn't common, but to hang on like that without moving is pretty impressive. Been doing HVAC for 30 yrs, rare to see a standard outside unit attached to the platform. Its usually just sitting there.
@@bobriggins8862 Yeah, at most homes they sit on the ground but near the water or in areas like a flood zone it's been code around here for well over 10 years to have them raised. Over so many square feet they need railings and such just like a deck. Propane tanks also need securing to the ground, so they don't float away. I did HVAC and gen sets since 1988 so have seen many changes over the years.
Jail to this who gave the permission to build this house there
These houses were not originally oceanfront but rather several rows back. The ocean is slowly reclaiming this barrier island
It appeared older and was likely built before knowledge of global warming effects.
Were built
60years ago
Toto...I don't think we're in KANSAS anymore!!!
Wow....that house was REALLY WELL BUILT. The fact that it's floating away intact like that. Wow!
Look closer - it's disintegrating
And I'm sure it was well removed from the water at the time it was built. The outer banks have diminished significantly in the last decades.
Yeah well if I was going to build a house that close to the water andron sand I would make sure I put a floating device underneath it for this reason.
Don’t think it’s how it was built, but where 🥲
@@ellayararwhyaych4711 We can see just fine.
“Sorry folks, this is considered a natural disaster and your insurance policy won’t cover it.”
The other option is "owner stupidity." Neither are paying out anyways.
The guy that sold this house was a genius
I feel bad for people who lose their homes and I certainly don't want anyone hurt, but when you build or buy a home that sits right on the edge of our oceans, do you not think that there may come a day when this kind of thing will happen? I love the beaches and the serenity of the ocean, but I wouldn't live right on it for fear of this.
This is why homeowners insurance has gotten so expensive.
That, but mostly Bidenomics.
It's not the only reason. While it's stupid to build a house close to any uncontrolled body of water, people can't control if hurricanes or tornados damage their homes either.
@@keithmccracken5557 Bidenomics has nothing to do with how insurance prices are set. If you have a thorough, logical explanation as to how it applies, let's hear it.
Who would even insure that house?
We pay, more of everything so the Uber rich can live on both coasts & we also pay to educate their progeny in private schools while they go about abolishing public school education, along with the educators.
What exactly is 911 going to do? Calling your insurance company makes more sense.
Would an insurance company cover such a home ?
Keep an eye on it in case it's a problem for anyone else on shore or sea
Would your insurance agent swim out to the house to make sure no one is inside?
yeah, you're right, when you see someone's house go into the ocean, you really shouldn't call any emergency personnel.
@@PInk77W1 Actually, yes. These homes have been in this state for some time now. The insurance will not pay out until the house collapses.
Dont build on the shores, leave them for anybody to enjoy.
Where do you suggest to build? Mountains, ? We have mad slides and rock slides. . Flats? Well we get tornados, . No matter where you bout Mather nature can take it away .
It impressed me that almost all the California that coastline is public. Here in Florida it's mostly private.
@@robant5578build them in Ohio
Freaking love it. Who looks at the sand and goes.. let me build here!! Weakest foundation ever LMAO!!
I remember watching housed being carried out to sea during the blizzard of 78. It seems to be more desturbing that the sun is out and kids are running around.
Homeowner should be responsible for 100% of the cleanup costs.
The homeowner, set sail to Europe 😂
@@jimoconnor6382 In that house, really?
Lol
@@DrJohn493😂
As a European iv never understood why Americans build carboard houses when you have extreme weather conditions... Also building a house on a beach is asking for it
Don't know what country that your living in but please keep in mind what a huge country the USA is and that not all homes are build this way..Also the no window screens coming standard to homes is a bit hard to take. Disease carrying mosquitos like the ones who transmit West Nile virus are now prevalent in Germany for example .In addition we have an invasive poisonous spider and all the nasty flies coming in whenever your cooking..talk about asking for it.
My German grandfather was an architect. He would always shake his head and complain about how homes here are built, and that was even way back in the 60’s.
Americans have no standards or appreciation for quality or longevity. They are very short-sighted. I say this as an American who is appalled by all of this.
@@TomF18 ,My uncle actually builds homes stateside and I will reiterate ,it does depend on the region of the USA and of course the home builder companies themselves.
Our houses generally hold up just fine, unless you are dumb enough to build on a beach, that is.
The wise man builds his house upon a rock ,the foolish man builds his house on sand
That house has probably been there for 50 - 60 years. Who could have known this could happen.
I hope everyone is well and happy.
❤❤❤❤❤
Apparently Chevron/Exxon did. (forget who) They wrote a report on how burning fossil fuels contribute to "global warming" then buried it
Yep at least 15 years ago when I first went out there, that house had been abandoned and was super close to the water... I physically could walk under it as I strolled on the beach (although I didn't).
A) House does not look that old.
B) _ANYONE_ could have known this could (eventually _would_ ) happen, especially if they had the sense to research the area's history and geography.
@@-oiiio-3993The sea level is much higher than what it used to be decades ago..
@@-oiiio-3993it was built in the seventies.
Oh, so that’s why my property insurance in Wisconsin went up! I gotta pay for somebody else’s stupidity.
Yep!! 👍
Maybe they'll make a new law...no more building house
@@Robert-xb1ow no more insuring them for sure.
Thank you for your donations and support Wisconsin
Yes, but don’t file a claim because your insurance will go ip
"Call 911" Yup, a house floating off into the ocean is definitely something 911 services are trained todeal with.
They will alert the Coast Guard to get out BOATER SAFETY ALERTS.😉👍
In that area? May be fairly common.
That's dumb to have a house there with kids. U have to think about the kids no u all
Living by the sea used to be a poor people schtic. My advice is if you live near the ocean, sell your house to the rich fool whos still willing to buy jt
If you can afford to live this close to the beach since 1960 it’s paid for itself 10x, let us say goodbye in peace 😂🙏🌊🫡🏴☠️

Who, in their right mind, would EVER build a house IN THE OCEAN!! 🤦♂️
Not in the ocean,but the Outer Banks of N.Carolina. It is about 100 miles of open beach which also protects mainland N. Carolina from storm surge during hurricanes .
But yeah,have to agree,not a great place to build your home.
@@sandralogue1774like down in Florida, Louisiana,etc!! Government has allowed houses built,get destroyed, rebuild!!.
At one time this house was likely 1 lot or more from the beach. This area of the OBX has been eating away at lots for years.
It wasn't built in the ocean. Over time the beach has eroded and ocean has met up with this home, claiming it. Our beaches are deteriorating as we speak, especially on barrier islands, like the Outer Banks.
Did I see a woman hanging on on the back side going in the water. I hope it was my imagination. So were there people and animals there this day?
I certainly hoped they had already moved out.
The foolish man builds his house upon the sand and the ocean says "I'll take this one"
Literally a house boat. Heck of a well built structure i must say.
10 million bucks down the drain. At least the dog had fun.
10 million bucks?
@@scotfarquharson6836 he bought a bridge and some swamp land right before the house on the ocean.
@@sicfrynut Damn! It really was 10 million bucks?
Do you know exactly where it was? My mom has a timeshare there and is actually going there on saturday so I know the area well.
In Monopoly money?
@@scotfarquharson6836 Rodanthe, NC, just as you see the first houses coming into the town driving South on HW 12 from Nags Head. The lots with no house range from 100, 000 to 130, 000 dollars.
Bible says to build your house on the Rock.. Not on sand
the owner is an Atheist.
Look, the everyday contractor would also tell you not to build here. The house itself is still intact… it hasn’t collapsed. It simply had a crappy foundation. No inspector should have allowed these idiots to even begin construction.
Naturally and spiritually
They know this when they build but they still have to have house there but they got plenty of money and plenty of insurance
yeah, the Bible didn't mean a literal house. Next time read the entire context and not one verse. You're not knowledgeable enough to come on here and regurgitate what the last person said. The parable wasn't about literal houses, it was about religious foundations. Its people like you who act like you know what the Bible says by spitting out pieces here and there completely out of context that makes others look bad.
Who builds a house that close to the ocean😮😮😮😮😮😮 in sinking sand😮😮😮
This happens when you want to build sand castles, just to have a view of the sea 😂😂😂
Oh, my heart goes out to whoever owns this house. Even if it's built on the beach, of course, theirs no guarantees. But it's still someone's property and memories.
Some rich guy. Poor people or even middle class people aren't naive enough to build a house there. Safety was not apart of the equations to build there -- they built the house there out of hubris.
@@complexity5545you don't need to be rich to own a rental in the outter banks. They literally pay for themselves
@louislamboley9167 Oh! You bought into the lie.
Seems they could get help from insurance the 1st time and then move farther away from the water and no more help after that. Sorry. 😔
They were stupid to build a house in that spot.
I don't feel sorry for anyone who builds on the beach or hillsides just pure stupidity
If the insurance companies wud quit paying for such absurdity, fewer ppl wud be willing to watch $$$$ floating out to sea or sliding down a mud hill
@@sharonwoods4508 don't understand how you could even get insurance on a house in a place like this without driving massive reinforced piles and having a solid reinforced raised foundation
Hillsides are not necessarily unsafe. Structures have been built on hillsides for centuries and most still stand.
@@sharonwoods4508they do
There was 200 yards to the ocean with a huge sand dune in between when that house was built. They knew they only had about 40 years... and they got their 40 years.
" STURDY FOUNDATION " means nothing to this builder😮😮😮😮
Hmmmm, it's almost is if there's some places you shouldn't build a house.
No not for rich people. They can do whatever they want and just get richer.
Typical homebuyers! The realtors are laughing ALL the way to the banks
He should be laughing at all of us who are criticizing him. He has better memories from a single year of living in that home than in a lifetime of most of us.
Surprising that the house is built on the sea shore based on sand that is subject to natural calamities. Its foolishness.
I hope the dog isn't in the house
Down in outer-banks these houses are built on stilts that go down at least 60 feet, the ocean did break these stilts in half, the house was at least 15 feet above the ocean.
That being said, I feel no one should be allowed to build a house on a barrier sandbar!
Wake up, my people, and obey God , it's easy. god, yolk is easy. GOD will have his way on earth and in heaven. My God, the most high God is in control. Amen 🙏
If you're going to build on a beach front it's your own fault. No one should be allowed to own beach front property. That should remain public.
@@YEALANDS2024 the beach there is public.
