Only a year old. Wonder if a case could be made against an engineering firm that approved the geology report and foundation plans and/or the builder.

Probably all are rushing to file chapter 11 or 7.

My wife has always been firm with our buys. No mountain edge and no waterfront. We agree.

If you’d read the stories, it says the builder has bought one house already.

First question , where did all the foundation drains and roof , driveway water drain to , i have seen to many places where the storm drainage goes out to the side hill , add a septic field in the same area and you have a recipe for soil failure.

Some friends in California bought a house in coastal California. Their front door is about 50 yards from a 40' cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Of course, I knew that the Pacific Coast eroded. All you have to do is look at the boulders that make up the beach to realize that it erodes.

But I didn't know how abruptly it eroded or how much eroded at a time.

The last time we visited was about 10 years ago. About 20 yards in front of their house the land has slumped about three feet. It just dropped. The road that passes in front of their house was split right down the middle and is now unusable.

They've since moved to Washington State but they still own the house. I'd hate to be a Realtor trying to sell it.

Didn't read it all the way. Went back and read it all.

Thanks!

Great question however anybody being sued will probably oh not the extreme weather and bring out the old “act of god” clause and that will be that.

I wonder if they did a geotechnical study of the area. I will bet they didn’t. Let the finger pointing and lawsuits begin as the developer, and city and homeowners play the blame game. And the guy across the street? He better get his bug out bag ready. Having done geotech myself, these slides tend to keep back breaking until they toe out against something on the other side. Looking at the escarpment, there’s a good chance he’s going for a ride too.

Better throw in flood plain in there. I see new houses being built in “500” year flood plain around here. The 500 year flood plain that flooded in 64 and might really be a 50 or 100 year flood plain.
