Pacifica, Ca Cliff Erosion - What It Looks Like Now (May 2016)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 тра 2016
- El Nino really hammered the coast in Pacifica, California and as a result, many homes were lost due to the cliff erosion. 20 apartments were demolished and 1 home was relocated 25 feet inland from the cliff.
This video shows what the affected area looks like now.

This reminds me of a developing situation in Pacific City Oregon, where right next to a very sandy hill, a sand dune actually, sits a 4000 sq ft house right on top of another sand dune. Hmmmmm
I like how in the first picture there is a bit of grass on an unstable cliff in the foreground, then in the 'today' picture, you see they built on that cliff and now it's falling into the sea - and no-one saw that coming???
The Earth doing its daily thing.
They didn't build there - the "today" and "1997" shots are of different areas on the coast, about a hundred yards apart. Use the "Y"-shaped building at the left of the "1997" shot to orient yourself as the video plays, you can see it clearly.
In 1997, it looked like they had a good 50 feet of space between the back porches and the cliff's edge. There was a lot more than just El Niño at work during those 19 years. Cliffs on the seaside erode faster if they're made of sand and dirt. I'd think that they'd either figure out a way to further stabilize that cliff face, or just not build there at all (leaving the space as a park). Human hubris, I fear...
Look at that again. There are no buildings between the road and the cliff in the 1997 photo. they built all those buildings on the cliff side of the road after that photo in 1997.
They did just that. I saw the retaining walls in other videos.
Great video, but the "music" was unbearable. It sounds like a blaring fog horn or emergency signal. Not good.
Nice post production... :)
Thanks!
lol I like that one house was relocated 25 feet further inland, 25 feet is not near enough as the they need to be more like 1/2 mile. one good storm and the 25 feet is gone.
Great footage!
+Diane M. Thanks!
Pacifica made national news with this story. Nice to see what the outcome has become. And I'm sure when there's more activity, you'll be right on it! ;)
What's the music used in this video?
I don't know if this is just sloppy journalism, or flat-out dishonest reporting. Those are clearly different parts of the coastline.
Start with the 1997 shot at 0:13 - note the "Y"-shaped building on the left, and the narrow space between it and the cliff. See that there are two rows of buildings in the center (the row closest to the ocean has nine buildings) with a parking lot and then a highway behind them.
Now, the "today" shot at 0:17. A much longer apartment building is shown, not the shorter buildings from the 1997 shot. And at 0:18 just before the shot cuts away, note the building on the left and its porch style - these don't match the building to the left of the 1997 shot's buildings.
Back up to 0:11. You can see the remnants of a retaining wall at the right, before the shot pans left. The buildings here match the "today" shot, and the buildings visible at the left after the pan seem to match the one seen at 0:18.
Jump forward to 0:30. The buildings to the left are clearly the ones from the left of the initial pan and the "today" shot, so this is the same section. Apparently two coastal buildings were torn down between those shots and this one, and the pads leveled. In the distance you can see the "Y"-shaped building, and as it scans closer you see the two rows of buildings (nine in front), parking lot and highway. And at 0:33 if you look down between the two building pads you can see the retaining wall from the initial shot; it's easier to see if you skip ahead to 0:42.
Now compare the shots at 0:15 and 1:23. You can see there has been significant erosion to the coast on the right in places, maybe up to 10-20 feet in one section. But I guess that wasn't dramatic enough.
We used to live at 380 Esplanade in the mid-90s. Back then I recall a couple of houses just south of us going into the water.
wow! I guess eventually a structure built on the edge of an eroding cliff will eventually fall.
yeah one made of sand. Who would have thought?
The comparison shot showing that grassy area is NOT 320 Esplanade Avenue, which is one of the 2 condemned buildings that are next to the walkway down to the beach.
There was never a street between the water and those 2 buildings. But thanks for playin’. 😏
name of song?
All hille change over time if there is water underneath them
MOTHER EARTH WILL ALWAYS WIN !!
Alarmed Strain Gauge sales should be brisk around the coastal cliffs.
House starts movin' you start hoovin'
Who could have known that the cliffs would erode..
That’ll teach em!!
that poor little excavator at 1:25! Trying to move rocks towards the ocean in a futile attempt to stave off certain destruction. :D
+Skeletal Dropkick I know, right? Keep in mind that here has been a rock barrier for years there...only so much it can do with 30' waves though
Mother nature always wins in the end.
They should move the houses down to the beach.....oh, i forgot....they are moving down to the beach....
Ahh, the intrinsic stability of the Franciscan Formation.

I call BS on the 1997 shot. It looks like those apartments/condos on the edge of the cliff hadn't even been build yet. If they have been built they aren't in the 1997 shot.
+Clearanceman2 well, I think the cliff extended 50 plus feet from the edge of the apartments back then. It eroded over the course of 19 years.
I went back and looked at the shot and I think it's from another part of the cliffs. It's a shot from 1997 but not where the apartment buildings are or it's a shot from before they were built in the first place.
I see they've removed two apartment buildings now. Maybe the third by now, the latest video showed two gone. But clearly someone didn't do their homework before building on those cliffs.
Yep, they're definitely two different sections. You can see both at the same time at 1:26.
I can confirm, it’s 2 different locations. Used to live out there as a kid.
Now the ocean is coming for their neighbors.
Funny how what he shows that it looked like in 1997 still looks exactly the same. Its down the street from what he says it looks like now.
mother nature ALWAYS win
The other side of the street will soon be beachfront.
Somewhat slanted reporting. At 0:14, that view is pretty much the same now as it was in 1997. At 0:17, those apartments are 1,000 ft north of the first view. Those apartments were already close to the cliff edge when they were built (at least in a 1993 historical photo). Yes, there is erosion occurring. Can't deny that. It's the natural process of the ocean/land interface. But it wasn't considered when those apartments were built (and the city approved the building permit). The builders saw a profit; the city saw the higher property tax on the improved land. Now it's time to pay all that back. An the tax payers are probably paying some of that bill.
It's funny how that "land" could be worth anything. No way Jose living anywhere near that coast. East coast for me.
GTA that should be on GTA game
That street won’t last long either!
Why even try to stop Mother Nature ? She's going to do what she wants . No stopping her
developers develop and people go in debt! the earth giveth and the earth takeitaway
Music too annoying, not worth watching
RetSquid mute... is a wonderful thing
never live near the water this will happen
Too bad the footage they first show of the apartment complex IS NOT the same apartment complex in the after shot. Gotta love suck-ass journalism.
Scanned down _solely_ to see if anyone had commented on that.
The Bible did say 'thou shall not build on sand', but are the greedy developers going to heed it? Now suffer!
Кто так строит? Кто так берега укрепляет? У них что там нормальных инженеров нет? Дамб никогда не видели?
Is this information or your attempt at making a fucking music video?
What's wrong with a little music while we take in the sights?
The music sucked. I muted it.
Humans uglified that shoreline big time. Mom nature fixes ugly things.
Who is so stupid to build a house near the coast on the sand?
looped music is an evil plot to drive us insane! I just bought new key board, wonder what kind of crap I can generate to sell on YOU-TUBE!
Arrogance, greed and stupidity all on display. Permits should never have been issued in the first place. Your property tax bill is in the mail!
Terrible crappy music and the same footage that other are showing. Be original.
yes, but what about the election!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's racism. racism did this.
Yes, racism repaid, God's wrath on the racist.
No, Trump is responsible for the erosion.
