Houses on the 1500 block of Buena Vista in San Clemente, California, were left teetering on the edge of the cliff after a landslide on Wednesday

  1. They've built homes in some really stupid places down in L.A. land, haven't they? In the Bay Area too. Not only prone to slides but also prone to wildfires. But the view is great while they last, I guess.

    1. San Clemente is not in L.A., it's the penultimate slice of turf before you're in San Diego County.

      Allowing building there, as shown by the bloghost, is equally asinine with some of the worst permits issued in L.A.

      The sites should be condemned, the entire hillside vacated and bulldozed, and building in that location banned forever.

      But you can't charge dumbasses ridiculous amounts of property tax by letting everyone enjoy the view, so that won't happen until Nature takes full charge of the situation.

      And these are the same idiots who are Shocked! Shocked, I say! when their wood shake-roof hillside canyon homes burn down every fall, and then rebuild on the same lot, over and over, with government handouts and disaster loans at 2%.

    2. They finally got people to move out of the flood plain of the Mississippi River, if you persevere maybe you can chase out your own crop of morons.

      There's always a new crop of morons, fresh off the bus.

  2. In Matthew 7, Jesus said everyone who hears his words and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Then he went on to say everyone who hears his words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand (Matthew 7:24-26).

  3. Reminds me of the spider pool, that was seen in a number of black and white photos, that had various actresses sitting/walking around it. Some people got interested in it and eventually found it. Because of ground movement they had had to eventually fill it in with dirt and stop using it.

  4. Same kind of people that pitch a tent in a dry creek bed just before it rains.

  5. That cliff has been sliding down for many years. My parents moved to the town in 86 and the cliff was unstable back then too. This is just the latest episode.

  6. I saw the same thing in Pacific Palisades on PCH in Los Angeles after the Northridge Earthquake. Half of the guy’s house spread down a 300’ cliff front. Do you have a hell of a view of Pacific Ocean untol then.

  7. Everybody remaining in Ca wants to draw distinctions between the bowl, brim, and seat.

  8. I'm sure there are many fine folks in Cali., but for the most part, I find it hard to have any sympathy. The state, as a whole, is lost, unless there is a major reversal of policies. And I don't see it happening.

    1. Most of the left coast dumbasses on the cliffs and in the canyons boohooing about the fires and landslides are former dumbasses from the right coast who moved here to escape the blizzards and hurricanes.
      Funny how that happens. Almost like the stupid is all on the inside of their heads, and not a problem in the first place if you're not an idiot.

  10. "Insurance won't cover that"....citation and reference, please. MY insurance covers earthquakes and ground subsidence. So, tell me, why won't the owner be insured (assuming he got a policy, with maybe some additional coverage)? That's not to argue that insurance should be available for building in dumb locations like flood plains, but it is in many cases.

    1. From the linked article:

      "No injuries were reported, though one resident who evacuated their home told ABC7 they may have lost everything. "We called our insurance and they said, 'Well, they don't cover hills going down,'" said Clayton Robinson. "So all we have left is our faith in God.""
