Shorelines around the world have been eroding throughout the ages. Buyer beware any time you purchase land near a body of water, whether it be stream, river, or ocean front!
Shorelines have also been doing just the opposite, for eons, or there wouldn’t be any “shoreline.” The point you need to understand is that at this point in Earth’s history, water levels are rising, storms are increasing in frequency and strength and polluting industries are tipping the balance to where Nature wins, Humanity loses. “Our changing planet” does not come with a written guarantee that “humans will survive.” If you think the key word is “eroding” and not “rising” go sell that distinction to islanders living in the South Pacific. Seawater is coming right up through their islands, slowly disappearing places where humanity has existed for a few thousand years. Same thing along all our shorelines: none are growing, all are shrinking. I doubt the owners of those Great Lake houses are consoling themselves with biblical pablum. Buyers don’t beware because they have been getting coverage from insurance companies so they just rebuild. But insurance companies aren’t writing those policies anymore and will soon stop paying any claims, sweeping the whole mess under “a work of God,” clause.

Jim- this is one part of an inland freshwater sea called "Lake"Michigan. This is the lower section near the Indiana border. Lake Michigan is 190 X 494 kilometers (300+mi). It runs north to south and so prevailing weather pushes against the eastern shore which builds dunes that rise to 400 ft at Sleeping Bear, about 200miles north of this site. It is a combination of glacial melt and rainwater--no salt water. It is a unique set of primary, secondary and tertiary dunes which are eroding according to the water levels . When the water levels are down the sand builds the primary dunes back up. Life's a beach.
@@ltellsch3318 Interesting that they would even try to build on the water edge without brake walls - Lived in Chicago all my life on Lake Michigan, we only have a few smaller beaches and they are mostly behind the brake walls (same as the harbor/navy pier etc). The rest of the waterfront is pretty much all concrete walls/rocks and been so as long as I can remember. When the water is rough from wind waves will crash into the walls so hard you will get soaked if your walking/biking on the path in the wrong spot, I don't see how a small sandy beach with no barriers would stand up to the wind/waves.

My father was a very astute person when it came to knowing where to live along the water. He lived 48 years along the Neshaminy Creek which lead to the Delaware River. We watched huge cabin cruisers, docks,andmonster trees float by our property at fast train speeds during storms. Places on the upper end of the creek were not so lucky as they were flooded out. We were high and dry. I asked ,"Dad, how come our place never floods? His reply was you have to know the water." I recall talking about this with a guy once and he told me," Your dad is Darth Vader."
people seem to forget this. no way are we able to stop that, and hold the present conditions in a kind of stasis, just because the current conditions suit us. give it another 100 years or so when mother nature decided to cool things down and there is less food production and drought because more moisture is being held as ice.
Being raised in an area that often gets river flooding, I was always told 'Buy a house built on a ridge and on stone. You buy waterfront property and you'll pay through the nose for the 'Three Little Pigs first house'. And that's always worked for me.
@@ciaranbyrne62 better to lose some value of your house than lose the house. Big boulders will be washed by the lake. Those properties will consume more and more money.

Sooo... ya' gonna' ever do that again? I mean, the ocean clearly doesn't care about your house or your dreams. Ya' had to know that this was a very real possibility.
It was a whole neighbourhood of about a dozen houses. We went to the government for help and they told us to f*ck off. I ended up armouring my shoreline with chunks of waste concrete, like you see done with rocks at one home here. Then I got the h*ll out of there
I wonder why this property and front part of the house at 00:56 minutes is so much covered in ice (most likely frozen water dropplets from the waves crushing against the seawall) whereas the other houses aren´t at all. Maybe something can be learned here about water dispersion at different shapes of seawalls. Who knows.
The wave energy reflected by the sea walls actually accelerates erosion. The role of the beach is to dissipate energy over distance. Creating any hard structure on the beach will concentrate that energy and increase erosion. BUT, people are attracted to live near dynamic environments because they are interesting, so they immediately begin to create structures that alter the environment to protect their physical investment without any understanding of the natural processes that they are trying to control. Energy is re-focused, the environment alters to adjust to the change in energy distribution, and a formerly beautiful landscape becomes an industrial horror-show money pit. Moral: You can’t own a beach.
I lived along Lake Huron shoreline north of Lexington and the waves there washed out properties shorelines all the time. I watched a neighbor start rebuilding his break wall and half way through construction we got torrential rains and washed all his work out. We were constantly rebuilding up the beach around our stairway. Now I look on the resorts website they’ve completely rebuilt the stairs and beach area. I’d say it’s a 40 foot drop to the beach.
Seems to be a consistent claim by this channel in several videos that houses are falling in, but they never are. The sea walls are holding up pretty well. Ocean waves are nothing new.
Yup. I noticed that, too. I haven't seen even one video that shows significant property damage being done (although I've seen one or two that show OLD damage). That's why this chan will never get a sub or a like from me.
I'm guessing some planners who saw money in it. Crazy to allow homes to be built there. It's like developers building homes in flood plains. People buy them in good faith to live in. I can only hope that these are holiday homes and they can afford to lose them.
I'm PRAYING TO GOD that blue structure at 1:04 is not a dog house. With a backyard full of ice and cold water, I would hope someone would not be stupid enough to keep their dog out there.

Lake Michigan can be a furious inland ocean like this at times. Good video to watch before thinking of buying lakefront property since the lake seems to have gotten a lot more lively in the past couple of years eroding the shoreline at a faster pace it seems....

Houses washing away? I was in the parking lot last September and the walkway along the shore was as you see it. Climate change? Lake Michigan, back in the day, used to be as far as Rensselaer.
Yes, climate change idiot. The scientists have been warning us about it for the past 30+ years. It was 65 degrees in Antarctica the other day. The ice is melting 6 times faster now than it was in the 90s. There was a dune there with an observation platform. That is completely gone now.

they want to live on the shore of a beach a lake a river pay the consequences and don't be crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Beach house front has been just given the true meaning 😳 Now it's at your back 🚪!!!
GOD BLESS! The Homeowners
So far from what I See in THIS video is the Eroding Yard that's Washing away. IS That area Sinking?
Whelp, no backyard but still, a Great Lake view.
Whelp! What is the a whelp?
@@nobodythatyouknow241 Same as well...
Where is this... and when is this...?
Ah, costal erosion, been going on since the beginning of time, it’s been getting ignored about the same length of time!
Man vs. Nature and Nature is winning. Great vid quality.
Whoever thought this was a good idea!!!
I'm guessing some planners who saw money in it. Crazy to allow homes to be built there. It's like developers building homes in flood plains. People buy them in good faith to live in.
I can only hope that these are holiday homes and they can afford to lose them.
Where exactly is this?
Ogden Dunes Indiana. 40 mins from Chicago
Tell what it is not, "Houses Washing Away." Which is a good thing.
I'm PRAYING TO GOD that blue structure at 1:04 is not a dog house. With a backyard full of ice and cold water, I would hope someone would not be stupid enough to keep their dog out there.

Just because the doghouse is outside doesn’t automatically mean the dog is.
Doghouses are outside structures, people don’t bring them inside in winter/inclement weather.
@@AUMary Thank you. I think Shadowpuppy Games may just be looking for any reason to be protective of a dog. Probably makes the same comments on cooking videos, gaming videos, tiny house videos, etc.
That's Lake Michigan? I thought it was the Eastern Seaboard.
0:55 wtf is this? Ice?
its called snow. have you heard of it?
Lake Michigan can be a furious inland ocean like this at times.
Good video to watch before thinking of buying lakefront property since the lake seems to have gotten a lot more lively in the past couple of years eroding the shoreline at a faster pace it seems....
This makes me so happy.
i dont get it the title is houses washed away but yet i dont see any houses washed away
you want a beach front house.........there you go.......
This similar to those who live right next to Volcanos and think “naaahh it’s not gonna erupt in my lifetime”
minutes later…
Volcano: Heeeeellllloo World 🌋
Houses, at the tip of a storm-tossed inland sea, built on sand dunes... Who could have possibly foreseen this?
The climate scientists that have been warning us about global warming for 30+ years. That's who.
Houses washing away? I was in the parking lot last September and the walkway along the shore was as you see it. Climate change? Lake Michigan, back in the day, used to be as far as Rensselaer.
Yes, climate change idiot. The scientists have been warning us about it for the past 30+ years. It was 65 degrees in Antarctica the other day. The ice is melting 6 times faster now than it was in the 90s. There was a dune there with an observation platform. That is completely gone now.
Why does the description say "Portage Indiana"?
Because this is the city of Portage, in the state of Indiana, on the south shore of a rather angry Lake Michigan.
Expensive to insure I have no doubt, trust me I'm English!
What part of the world Is this?
О чём (или чем) думают люди, строящие дома так близко у воды?!
Just wondering, are these actually homes or vacation rentals?
