Looks like a rather short beach to me. "And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it" (Matthew 7:26-27, KJV). Long Beach is just like Napatree Point, Rhode Island; except that town was destroyed all at once, in the 1938 hurricane.
If I was going to build a huge mansion or house somewhere it certainly wouldn't be on a giant sand dune, nor would it be clustered in with neighbors 20 feet away.
So much for high priced waterfront properties! smdh Global warming/climate change which is real and we're already seeing the deadly impact from that not only here in the states , but worldwide! Rising sea levels, more severe beach erosion, severe droughts due to triple digit heat waves, horrific wildfires and more severe intense storms like Cat. 5 Hurricane Ian per top leading scientists/meteorologists! The great Salt Lake in Utah is drying up and exposing a deadly layer of poisonous arsenic! Scientists are concerned about that because 3 million people live in the Salt Lake City area and that's also going to have a negative impact on the ski industry as well because the dust from the lake is black lands on the mountains, attracts the sun which in turn melts the snow! Lake Meade and Lake Powell are also drying up due to GW/CC and they supply many states with drinking water! All this will have a negative impact on water supplies as well as agriculture /crops and our food chain! Check out the articles regarding this on Accuweather.com!
@@nononsenseBennett That attitude has got the world into the environmental mess of climate change. I am amazed ppl can actually build/own beach. No consideration for the collective good.
This is a loosing battle. Almost all of these homes you see in this footage will be gone in 10 years. Sure you can save a few or even all of them but at what cost. concrete will break down, metal rusts, and rocks will move over the years. Fact is they are built too close to an unpredictable force of nature. From an engineering standpoint the only way to save them is to build a breakwater and new sea wall along the entire front of all of them, this start an stop of the sea wall only creates failure points the will erode the good sea wall portions. I feel for these people, but they are fighting the inevitable.
I agree but They just need to stop building these beautiful homes where they shouldn’t be because no wall is a match for this what did you call it unpredictable force of nature
And who do you think these folks will turn to to make them whole when their property is valueless? The government that they don't want to support, ie, you and I.
Other states have addressed the problem with jetty’s and dunes. Have restrictions on near water locations. Best to take these homes down before the contaminated the ocean wild life.
All 363 miles of Oregon's spectacular ocean beaches are publicly owned. This kind of construction could never happen here - every citizen has access to our coast.
Would have been helpful to name this video “Long Beach, Indiana” so we know which Long Beach we’re looking at, where the houses aren’t falling in yet, by the way.
They are so many huge houses. Imagine the shoreline if one-story houses were all that were allowed to be built, preserving a bit if the view for others. It’s a bit sad that every square inch has been or is being developed.
@@LOSTONITALL -- Your choice of screen name says it all IMHO -- telling me that this dude can't possibly have a single thought in his pea-sized brain worth listening to.
I know! That was what I thought when I watched this. I love to visit the ocean, but to have to listen to that noise all the time would make me crazy. Much prefer the sounds of a forest. To each their own.
Back in the 1970's a section of road (similar to the one shown in this video)with homes along it disappeared into Lake Erie. Lake Superior feeds all the lower lakes and the land around Lake Superior is rising causing higher flow rates to the lower lakes and higher lake levels. I have watched for years as the shore disappears into the lake taking the land and trees to the bottom of the lake. It has nothing to do with climate change.
Additionally, when home owners do shore mediation efforts like boulders it displaces the water erosion adjacent - directly and afar. So the problem is never really mediated in full without another property absorbing the change*.
@@claudermiller refusal to debate and disregard for past climate history is unscientific. CO2 increased after WW II, yet temperature dropped. Today they are fixated on a small increase in temperature and an increase in CO2 to blame it on. My point is that CO2 changes and global temperature changes are not related.
Bottom line is the Indiana - Lake Michigan has been shifting sand dunes for centuries. Grabbing the view and the beach for yourself comes with the potential problems... but, this is a States problem.
@@billhosko7723 But Bill they are very big lakes and 15 foot and higher waves are common on them during storms. I've boated and live on lake Huron for 77 years and have seen a lot of storms some very scary.
Many with their feeble pilings seawalls begin to look like a barge, except unlike the real one, they can't float. "don't walk on my beach" would soon be "don't swim in my lake" for these people.
Reminds me of what is happening near me (just soth of San Francisco). Most people truly didn't understand what was going to happen. Obviously, they do now, but it's too late for a lot of the homes. I don't judge the owners. Maybe the engineers. But hindsight is always 20/20 ...
So to which Long Beach do we refer? Long Beach, Washington, Long Beach,Oregon, Long Beach, California, Long Beach, New York, Long Beach, New Jersey? It would be nice to know. Water always wins. Always.
That's why they are called the Great Lakes, when you can't see the other side they are very large bodies of water. I live on Lake Huron 400 feet from the shore and every year we lose some of the bank but I won't have to worry in my lifetime like these folks do.
Absolutely bs . If they are stupid enough to buy there along with the counties that allowed some greedy contractors ,developers and realtors to build there and the insurance companies that cover these places , they deserve what ever comes to them . Plus probably in most cases, they will end up polluting our shores and waters with these buildings that Joe public will have to clean up at his expense.
Why on earth have they built so close to the sea. Those houses must be very damp all the year round and the moist sea air is very corrosive to those buildings.
It's not "the sea". That's Lake Michigan pounding that shoreline. For the life of me I will never understand how people think they're stronger than that big old Lake.
The ocean needs to breath The sea needs to breath The human needs to breath The sun comes for everyone Respect the space of our creatures And our human resources Sea shores breathing space for the water to go and breath During hurricanes and storms.
Not all rich people are Bad. There are Bad people in every financial tier. I don't have much at all. But I don't have envy either.....By the way nice video.
Do the homeowners have federally-mandated flood / disaster insurance? Those policies where taxpayers pay the losses? Coverage for properties like these should be underwritten by the fools in the zoning departments who issued building permits in the first place.
I live in Ca near the ocean, beach erosion is just part of life, I've seen 100's of houses lost. 40years ago Pacifica houses were 200' off the cliff edge, now they have fallen in. Its not global anything. Every beach erodes, its how they work.
For those with extra deep pockets and 💰 to burn … you could always build clusters of volcanic/granite breakwaters some 150 to 200 feet offshore. Stack them 30 to 50 feet high in order to break the surf and scatter wave strength in multiple directions. Building breakers 40 feet from your front door is futile at this point.
I at first used to think, it would be something spectacular to own a beachfront home, until I watched all those videos from that tsunami disaster in Japan. I saw many communities had sea walls to protect them, but most of them failed. I only saw one village that was saved by their sea wall, because those engineers built the wall high enough. I do not wish it to happen to them in the future. But as the saying goes, you can run, but you can't hide. That wall will also fail one day, maybe not in our lifetimes, still it will happen That was enough to convince me that is definitely not where I'd want to lay my head every night. I'd hate to wake up one night floating on my bed somewhere out in the middle of the ocean.
1:40 is unnerving as the sea water is undermining under the decks and under the houses. The sand sand blasts the soil, eroding it inch by inch. Wise to be back 500 feet or more like the houses in the back are away from the sea and on hills.
Do you want waterfront property? You got a waterfront, back, and sides. What a deal. Now it is the ugliest property. All of those selfish people who blocked the views of everyone behind them, this is KARMA with a twist of lime.
If I were going to build near water, I would not build right at the water. So sorry for the owners. However, they’ve probably been paying an arm and a leg for insurance, and should be able to recoup.
You build your houses 10 feet from the water and then you complain you have the ocean in your living room. 😮
