I have no sympathy for people or corporations that knowingly build these expensive homes on sand.
If the properties were properly zoned and the insurance policies were charged commensurate with the associated risks, there would be very limited beach development.
In most of these areas there should be no development as these are barrier islands, and, by their very nature, they change over time.
I agree !!
Correct me if I'm wrong but I doubt that anyone has asked for your sympathy.

@@bicd3244 You're right, they don't ask for sympathy, they DEMAND MONEY. Most large oceanfront property such as (Mar-a-lago) is insured by a taxpayer-funded insurance. It's welfare for the rich, and it's disgusting.
This reminds me of the Sunday school song about the foolish man that built his house upon the sand and the rain came down and the water came up and the house on the sand washed away.
Yup. Wealthy think they are protected by God.
😝 same thing popped up in my mind..

These houses were a hundred yards from the ocean and protected by large dunes. It’s all been erased with each passing decade.
My thoughts exactly! The foolish man built his house upon the sand and the rain came down and washed it away! That’s even in the Bible! So sad!
I visited Nags Head in 1985. Beach houses were scarce, & also motels. Revisited in 2013. The place is covered with houses, restaurants, etc. Too much building now. Totally ruined a beautiful beach setting. Mother Nature has the final say.
The US population in 1985 versus 2021 has increased by 94.5 million people. I can't even imagine what it's going to look like in 30 more years because of population growth and people wanting to visit the ocean.
Yup.
Exactly. It’s definitely not the sleepy area it once was.
@@livinglaughing8528 exactly..
People too stupid to use contraception 🤦♀️
Well, that's kind of what you get when you build your house on a sand bar. This is a perfect example of people having more money than common sense.
Do you even know how old these are
@jamescorey4255 Yeah I actually do because I LIVE IN NC!! And I'm aware that the beach has eroded since the houses were built, but they still built them too close to the ocean in the first place.
A wise man once sang” and castle’s made of sand , slip into the sea, eventually.”

Barrier islands by nature migrate towards the west on the nc coast and as far as I know, no one who has battled with mother nature has ever won any lasting victories.
Now, the owners that had 2nd and 3rd row beach houses, now have beach front property, for a few years, at least.
Around 2010, a lady in her 90s told me that her oceanfront home in Nags Head was a 3rd row property when she bought it in the 1960s.
@@KMx108 Nags Head is boring 😴
I would love to see a photo or video of what this area looked like 50 years ago to since the comparison
Yeah pretty sure he used to be off the ocean
Everyone whose house is washed into the ocean should be required to remove twice that much trash from the sea...
They wanted an ocean front view, they got it 👍🏻
Those homes should have never been built on the beach like this. I would never buy one so close.
I guarantee the water wasn't that close when it was built.
Those houses are 30+ years old. When they were built, you could fit 2.5 football fields between the house and the ocean.
Yeah if it needed stilts to be built it probably shouldn't have been done
@@zeeechanged5352 All barrier island homes have pilings under them. On houses in my neighborhood 600 yards from the ocean the pilings are driven and cut off below grade and then a traditional concrete and block foundation is built on top of the pilings.
@@zeeechanged5352 95% of the houses, condos, apartments here are on stilts / pilings.
All that money wasted on wanting to have a home right on the beach.
When that home was built 30+ years ago, it was about 4 football fields away from the ocean. Since then, the rental income from that house alone has paid for the house 15 X over and now, insurance is going to pay again.
How was it wasted exactly. You just sound bitter and envious.
@@1982mako224 No bitterness or envy here. It is obvious that with global warming and rising sea levels you don't build a home right on the beach only to have it swallowed up by the sea years later thus wasting all the money that was spent and ruining the coastline only to satisfy an overly enlarged ego no matter the cost.
This is exactly why people should have e never been allowed to build on these delicate islands!! Mother nature always takes back what's hers...
Who's insuring these properties?
I hope to God it's not the government.
Mother nature will retake her land back. I'm on her side, the beach was one time for everyone. Not a building parking lot.

This happens every storm, every year. We shouldn't have built on a floating sandbar. The banks move around, the water level is exactly the same their as it was 30 years ago.
This 100%
tides are getting higher. Not as many big negative tides, and highest tides of the year are getting higher.
@@frankmacleod2565 uhuh okay.
@@Tolbat They are. I have never lived more than two miles from the ocean in my life, and I fish often, and gather abalone and other shellfish, and I pay attention to the tides. Not as many low negative tides now, and the highest tides of the year are getting higher. Pay attention, you might learn something
@@Tolbat one just has to examine tide tables taken from fixed tide gauges over the last century to see this. You should visit the ocean some day, its really wonderful
The google maps street view from 2007 puts this house 85 feet back from the dune and 200 feet from the water.
The house on stilts with the ocean under it was 150 feet back.
I suspect that when they were built, the ocean and dunes were even bigger.
So no, they did not BUILD them this close, they were claimed by beach erosion over several decades.
Given time, I suspect they will all eventually be claimed by the ocean.
Could the 2007 image have been taken when the tide was out?
@@grixlipanda287 Always possible, but there is still 80 or so feet of dune in front of the houses before you get to "beach". But, short of putting up rock sea walls, storms will always eat the beach given time.
@@MrShadowpanther3 Yeah rough seas can pummel and degrade sand dunes, if that is all that stands between you and the ocean then your property is not entirely safe.
You are exactly correct. When the home was built, I suspect it was at least 300 feet back from the ocean. Maybe the outer banks should never have been developed. There were several small communities that lived here and the growth of the island began in the 70s. Same story as many areas, except these islands move. Folks, don't be soo harsh
Even if that is all accurate, it's not like this wouldn't have been a very known, real possibility for the future. It's coastal, built on sand. Where there is sand, there is ocean that has been there, beating the rock for millennia.
These houses were built 25-35 years ago and the beach was significantly bigger once upon a time. Insurance will take care of a percentage of the dwellings but because it’s an investment property, HO’s are required to pay for hou$e and debri$ removal. Owning a vacation home on Hatteras can be challenging but life on a sandbar still beats traffic lights and paid parking. Cheers and happy clean up Hattericans!
That's as long as the rest of the insurance pool subsidizes the losses on the coast.... if homeowners on the coast were in their own distinct and separate insurance pool the insurance cost for a second house would be unaffordable for many.
@@vincentrockel1149 The rest of the insurance pool and the government. There are federal subsidies that make building and insuring on the outer banks financially viable.

Don't build your house
On sand
I wish I could see the original location of the coastline when these houses were first purchased/built.
I've been visiting this area since mid 70s, these homes were not this close to the ocean. Over the years storms have washed away a lot of beach.
@@stephaniebucks2822 We first visited the Outer Banks in 1959 -- and yes, the beach is very different now.
What did you expect? Build your castle out of sand, now watch it fall in. Not the first, nor the last.
Cheer up everyone! You, the taxpayer will pay for these homes to be rebuilt OR for these owners to just take the cash and run.
This is a lie, an untruth, a farce designed to create anger by a poor little sap.
Not true.
@@jeannieh6706 Is true.
@@jeannieh6706 You rebuild my dad's house on the water in FL. Thanks!
@@blackandgold676 if your Dad had flood insurance through the NFIP program then yes.
I stayed in that house last year and it was obvious this would happen.
How far from the water was it then? I can't understand why it's where it is.
So you contributed to the problem....if it weren't for the $$$$$$$ it wouldn't be there. GREED
@@rudyvaselino7776 When that house was built there was a nice sized sand dune protecting it from the water and waves. The NC barrier islands are constantly moving west towards the mainland because of storms and natural currents. Inlets that stay open naturally move south due to the same reasons. Areas at Oregon Inlet where I used to cast out into the water are now 300 yards inland. Many cottages have crashed into the ocean from Kitty Hawk all the way down to Hatteras because the land is moving west.
@@rudyvaselino7776 Because when it was built 30+ years ago, it was 400-500 yards away from the Ocean.

Amazing!
people build houses on the side of an active volcano and wonder why they have lava flowing through the living room (paraphrasing) -- The Great George Carlin.
I can’t believe they built those houses so close to the Ocean.
they used to not be this close to the ocean. the water is rising more and more every year it looked way different in the 90s then it does now
“24265 remains standing” … not for long!
I was going to say, isn't that the house that collapses in real time? Sure is.
House should have never been built on the beach
Great job OPEC
Turned it into the house boat!
I'm sure the taxpayer will pay for this. I believe the taxpayer is already subsidizing the insurance.
Building on huge sand dunes sounds smart. 🤦🏻♀️ That’s why home owners insurance is so high for everyone. Gotta pay for these folks that loose their homes and make a killing and then have all this money spend from the county and state to clean up their messes after they knew the house was going to fall in.
Our house was flooded with 28 inches of water in Hurricane Harvey. We renovated it with the insurance money and sold it a year later. Others in lower areas of that neighborhood told us it was the 4th time their houses flooded. The first time was more than enough for us. We lost every piece of our personal effects. We now live in the Rocky Mountains, nice and dry here.
Where they are built is insane…..idk how you see these homes and think that’s a great area to build.
Hatteras is in need of beach nourishment, with rising sea levels and stronger storms, I wont be surprised if they need to do them every few years now. The OBX is my favorite place on theplanet, and I hate to see it be torn away like this.
Read up on the history of the double dune system. It was built during the Great Depression and held up fantastic for many many years. Unfortunately, they stopped maintaining the dunes and erosion has taken over.
Do our tax dollars pay for FEMA benefits for these home owners?
No FEMA offers flood insurance through its flood insurance program but the insurance is through regular insurance companies. Homeowners still have to pay for insurance. If this was the homeowners primary home and a Federal Emergency was declared in NC FEMA would provide temporary housing. I don’t think this was a primary home. It is a vacation/rental home. So no taxpayers won’t have to pay to rebuild this home.
@@jeannieh6706 Then FEMA is skimming off the top. The homeowner can go directly to these insurance companies without FEMA in the loop.
15% of the US population currently resides in a flood zone. They should receive no federal funding.
New Mexico should get no federal funding either. They built up in an area that is prone to fires and undefendable,
People in tornado alley… Nope
The next hurricane that his Florida… Nope
People that live in locations that commonly experience destructive weather patterns
Should receive nothing. They know it’s gonna happens every year,
I agree with you
@@shotpusher you obviously have access to the internet so why don’t you use it? That is incorrect.
Rebuild the house again, same location, but maybe 100 feet higher .... just LOVE ocean front living .......
Well you know what they say,.....If you're lucky enough to live beside the water you're already lucky enough.🤣
I walked around that house in 2021!
1:21 - This house also fell into the ocean not long after this was shot...there's a good view of it also posted on RUclips, of how it gets busted into pieces by the waves in just minutes.
I have been to this part of NC... was part of a mission team... helped to rebuild a house that was torn apart by a hurricane...it was rebuilt on stilts... beautiful area as long as the sea stays where it belongs...
It's not. It never has been. It's always rising, always shifting. This was never a good idea.
@@Fusion_4000 why? These people along with 100K renters enjoyed this house for 30+ years
And people stay where they belong.
Surely, no one should be surprised.
I surfed in front of that back in 2007 some of the best surf ever!
Not very wise to build a house there
Not very wise to think a house was built there. That house is 30+ years old and was built 400-500 yards away from the ocean at the time.

What kind of idiots would build a house right in the water knowing what could happen to it. I guess the insurance money paid them well.
It obviously wasn’t that close when they built them
What kind of idiot thinks that a house would be built in the ocean like that? That house was built 30+ years ago and was probably 400-500 yards away from the ocean. In that time, the rental income paid for that house 15X and yes, now insurance is going to pay them more.
A lot of people dream of having a house by the ocean. It was my dream when I was 14 years old. Two years out of college I pulled it off. I've raised my family within walking distance of the ocean. Wouldn't have it any other way.
"Gee honey, isn't this a great view,? We've just got to have this house!"
That’s like putting a castle on a sandbar!!!
People don’t understand they knew this was going to happen the houses were old and they were gonna collapse anyhow
Welp, won’t be staying on the beach front for summer vacation
That’s like putting a castle on a sandbar
Why is there no County or City response to this disaster? Is there no local government?
Why why why why why on earth did they build these houses so close to the coast?
Homes on stilts. Don’t talk to me about rising oceans. 🤣
What?! Just about all coastal housings are built on stilts. Haven't you ever been to the ocean?
@@leighfoulkes7297 that’s a stupid place to build a house. At least the houses in California are built on cliffs and sometimes get washed into the ocean.
People who live at the beach pay for homeowners insurance, flood insurance, and hurricane/windstorm insurance. It is very expensive. Homeowners insurance cannot be used for windstorm/hurricane or a flood so it has no effect on your homeowners insurance.
Very sad
dang, what a disaster
These homes were build during a much different time. Let’s not judge the path of another.
They had this happen in the hamptons in long Island new York . They rezoned a area on the beach that allowed the home owners to rebuild . Was after a Hurricane in west Hampton beach. I would bet the best thing they could do there .

Greedy people in high places don’t have common sense, and those people who buy these beach front houses, have no sense always and those those insurance companies are senseless how you don’t know not to build on sand
When this house was built it was 4 or 5 football fields away from the ocean and there was no such thing as claimate change etc...These were just lots in a neighborhood that people could buy for litteral chump change and this house, through rental income has been paid for 15X over and now insurance is going to pay them again. They had more common sense than you think. As a result of the income from this house, they have 6 more houses...
Isn't there some kind of proverb about building your home on Rock?you think he meant that literal too.. LOL
Why are the houses close to the water??
Outer banks are sand bars that move. The house wasn’t always that close
Water views are highly prized don't you know
SEARCH Cape Hatteras history. In some locations you can see water on both sides of the island when standing on the sand dune.
They had to move Cape Hatteras lighthouse back years ago.
Fun Fact...It's called erosion. Once ago that house was 4 blocks from the beach. Due to Nor Easters and Hurricanes. The sand dunes that once protected these homes have been washed away back in the late 80s early 90s. Most Ocean front homes in the villages were not built ocean front but blocks away from the ocean.
Hope w
Everyone is ok. And I one was home.
Lol those houses are empty most the time
Wait what. Im planning on a move to mid NC. Is this a bad idea lol
@@Fusion_4000 Yes will be busy Im sure. I was just in LA then Vegas so Im use to city type busy.
I love visiting OBX but would never own a home there, even blocks away from the beach the sea and salt air does a real number on the home both inside and out, expensive upkeep, its why most owners can't afford to update kitchens, baths, etc
I have been there many , many times. I loved visiting, but I would never ever own a piece of property there.

I've been told it is insurance policy to let it collapse by Mother Nature.....and on NC beaches; sadly money rules.
Build house on sand:BAD. Duh.
Well on the positive side, the owner did not have to mow grass.
Nature wins.
No worries the insurance companies will pay for everything. They won’t claim bankruptcy.
The payout isn’t that great I use to work out there and owners who lost their homes due to storms told us the payment will not replace the lost home
@@spellerlittlewing They can go back to the Trailer Park.
@@spellerlittlewing I can vouch for that. I used to be an insurance agent many years ago. Beach property owners have to have multiple policies to cover the many risks associated with living at the beach, i.e., fire, theft, wind, rising water. It's an expensive proposition, and a losing one, at that.
You have insurance to protect your stuff against loss, but, when you suffer a loss and file a claim, you're going to be penalized for using the very thing you've been paying into to replace your stuff. So, now you're paying more money to protect your replaced stuff. In addition, you usually have very high deductibles to meet, which will affect a claim payout. Insurance companies are in business to make money, so, really, insurance is like 21; it's the house game, and the house always wins.
DONT build your house on sand …that’s a good motto
It's now a Houseboat....
Karma....
