And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

What urban planner approved that last row of houses?
Can you imagine the staggering amount of combined property tax/insurance for the last row every ten years? Just guessing, a million a year for a dozen houses.
That looks like serious rock strata below those houses. In that case, I expect that the houses are stable. In California, deciding to live there would be concurrent with suicide ideations.
Correct me if I'm wrong but an understanding of the simple principle of "line of sight" would tell you that those houses have no view other than the open ocean starting probably 100 yards out ... unless you want to stand on the edge of the property line the entire time and look down. What's the point except maybe the sound of the crashing waves? Alexa does that for me ;>}
Well maybe Matthew doesn't see it but I have a friend who sold a house bought on spec on a bluff overlooking the beach in Encinitas CA late last year for a tidy profit. The month after the sale the bluff in front of the house gave way and made its back yard untenable but due to California's love of duh environment nothing can be done to halt the erosion of the bluff in the backyard. Worth of house now after being sold for millions plus? Closing on absolute zero.
The one who got paid the biggest bribe.
ReplyDeleteRemember its all about the money capitalists.
ReplyDeletex2 on the above comments...another row of property taxes. Simple greed.
ReplyDeleteThat last row of houses wasn't the last row when they started.

ReplyDeletelikely it was the first row b4 the rest came in behind them. usually the waterfront goes first.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that your state, CW? California?
ReplyDeleteThe houses look closer together than the places in Cali that I've seen.
Ah, but the view is wonderful and worth it!
ReplyDeleteForty years back there was a series of TV ads where two neighbors shared the same medicine cabinet. These houses are almost that close.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking a guess but that looks like Sydney, Australia.
ReplyDelete"Grandfathered". Maybe they were there before the cliff.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the house on the left already has a hangover.

Really like the two in that row that have pools. An offering to the gods to forestall their destiny.
ReplyDeleteLakewood Ohio has or did have property like this Lake Eire

ReplyDeleteI did a google image search and came up with "смешные дома на море".
ReplyDeleteFunny houses by the sea....
ReplyDeleteJayzus, who TF cares? I don't see a single property in that photo that's worth a fart in a full gale!
