    Hilo, Hawaii is actually threatened not only by lava from Mauna Loa, but from the ocean as well - it was catastrophically damaged by tsunamis in 1946 and 1960, causing scores of deaths. Much of what was formerly downtown Hilo was intentionally left open after these two disasters, so now there's parkland on which few or no buildings will be damaged or destroyed by the next big tsunami. In addition, while lava flows usually do move quite slowly, the ones from Mauna Loa can be much faster than those from Kilauea, which are the far more common ones. That's because Mauna Loa erupts considerably more lava in larger quantities.

    Cinque Terra, Italy is another fantastic place with houses built on cliffsides. We stayed in one that was built right on the edge so when you looked out the window you looked straight down to the water hundreds of feet below. It was surreal.

    maybe I didn't understand well the video because to me it meant not exactly the edge of something as Venice for example, but cities co-existing in or close to dangerous places..... so, if you classify "Napoli" as in an edge, how about San Francisco which is in the top of 3 mountains and over a tectonic failure which could make the city just disappear any moment?

    There are parts of the San Joaquin Valley that are sinking up to a foot a year, so two inches in New Orleans at 2 inches a year is minor compared to that. They say the water in San Francisco Bay could come into the port of Stockton CA and flood the major part of the "Big Valley", and I'll bet Barbara Stanwick never dreamed of that!

    • @christineparis5607

      I was born in 1961, and I have heard that forever, growing up in Palo Alto. My aunt was a huge believer that we were going to drown at any time and was forever...forever predicting it. The San Joaquin valley is like the Nile, it is an agricultural region that floods, sinks, rises, ebbs and flows and occasionally floods unbelievably. That's WHY the earth is so fertile there. It's going to be doing that a thousand years from now. Sure, you shouldn't build your house on the edge of it, if you do, you'll lose it eventually, but that's the rhythm of the area, not a big disaster to wipe us out....

    What about Galveston, Texas? The city built on a sandbar that in 1900, SHOULD have provided New Orleans a serious hint, even though in those days, the U. S. Weather Bureau used New Orleans as a dumping ground for such employees who embarrassed it, like Isaac Cline, who just before the Galveston hurricane, did everything he could to convince the residents that there was nothing to worry about.
