The City of Pacifica is spread along a six-mile stretch of coastal beaches and hills in north-central California. The city comprises several small valleys spread between Sweeney Ridge in the east, Montara Mountain to the south, and the Pacific Ocean's rocky bluffs to the west.
seems like the properties are in very poor condition, is this intentional being coastal erosion will eventually cause them to be condemned? And total loss financially?
So true
people who built houses there don’t mind the loss, they will just build new ones on new beaches,. They have the money to burn.
Not cost effective to repair :)
@@shumingtan6885 All of them? So none of them were retired folk who had scraped up just enough to buy somewhere lovely to spend their twilight years and now are ruined and homeless? Curious ...
Pacifica is middle class, or as much middle class buying the SF real estate market can be. A lot of these homes are modest post WWII tract homes. They had hundreds of feet of coastal setback when they were built, but now it’s all eroded. There’s no beach left here to build on. The cliffs are eroding right into the neighborhoods.
Coastlines erode. What else is new? Moral of the story: Don't build your house close to a precipitous cliff with huge breakers crashing into the base of the cliff 24/7. That's just common sense.
Land erodes even without the huge breakers.
Don't build on sand or a hill slope ))
Yes it is common sense....But I feel the temptation of such a beautiful view over rides common sense quite often....because sure it could happen(erosion) pro ably will happen but come on, how much in our life time, is the mistaken mind set!
Coastal erosion is definitely a thing.
Sea level rise is probably a thing.
For most places they are different things.
Okay relax dude lol
@@kiki1573 god damn. You got offended by this post lol. No ones yelling at you
We are facing a similar situation on the western coast of Michigan. In the last few years, record high water levels and 15-20 foot storm waves have pounded the coastal dunes and eaten away the beaches. When I look at a lot on a bluff overlooking the lake that sells for $1MM+, my advice is to walk 50 feet from the cliff, or to where it seems pretty safe. Then walk another 50 feet. When you're saying "No way it'll ever get this far inland," walk another 50 feet. When you're so frustrated that you shout "WE CAN'T EVEN SEE THE WATER FROM HERE!!" Perfect. Now walk another 50 feet. Okay, this should be good. Your house will be safe until your great grandkids own it.
Perfect common sense.
I worked on the construction of the RV park, 7:08, in the late 80's. Almost half of it is gone.
Wow!
now i can tell how bad it is really.
Oooohhhhh! Thank you so much - I've been looking forward to this! It always amazes me to compare the most recent footage to previous videos ... and seeing how mighty the power of nature really is. It's such a beautiful area - I love how your camera shows the plumes of ocean mist blanketing the coast...cars and everything metal must surely rust very quickly in this region? But through your lens we get to see the raw power of the Pacific Ocean! No one can stop the erosion any more than they could hold back the tide...And one day it will all be gone...not too soon, I hope! It would be very interesting to see the erosion in comparison to say, 50 years ago. But I truly appreciate your efforts to show us the difference a few times each year. Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful. I have been watching videos of Pacifica for nearly 10 years. So sad for all the homes lost but we are on a living planet that won't stop for us.
Thanks for watching =)
That is the truth isn't it!
Which country u iam From India i like.oceans
Just remember what the Lord said " The foolish man built his house on the sand"...
9:19 great shot, those incomming waves never stop
10:26 on the other hand, they have a great health advantage - inhalation of salt water fumes is very healthy. I don't know what some people would give to breathe such an air. But for houses, cars and technology it is very corrosive air.
This is beautiful work. I would like to see video of the waves when it’s storming and really see how high they go.
I figure it must get pretty crazy for those houses on the cliffs during a storm. Bet they need a new roof every 5 years.
I wonder which insurance companies write policies for building on unprotected sea cliffs comprised of compacted alluvial soil instead of bedrock.
Also, I wonder what the city/county building permit department was thinking when they issued permits.
It's called real estate taxes
Back in the day Americans had rights instead of BTKs and their illegal permits
Interesting that the local building codes called for building within a safety setback that allowed for 50 years of coastal bluff retreat, and when I lived in Pacifica, the houses falling off the cliff were always about 50 years old. So pretty much exactly as planned.
I know they're trying hard to safe their homes but the force of Mother Nature will soon destroy that wall. It's has been so much property lost. And thanks for sharing, keep em coming.
Thank you so much, for this update. The cantilever patio, at 5:54 was the 2nd house I’ve been wondering about. I first saw it in your video of 3 years ago. I feel bad for the owners. ☹️
That house is for sale really cheap lol which I was looking at to maybe fix up and re do the seawall, but after watching these vids, NO THANKS! lol
A lot of people want to blame climate change or El Nino storms, but the reality is that this is former sea bottom that was uplifted by earthquake action. The San Andreas Fault is just east of Pacifica and runs into the ocean across the Golden Gate a little way north of here. Earthquakes and ground fracturing from the northward movement of the Pacific Plate have weakened an already poorly consolidated sandstone structure to the point that the waves have little difficulty eroding it. Skyline Blvd, Hwy 35, runs right beside the fault line, crossing over it at Westview. The fault enters the ocean near Mussel Rock. The ocean will eventually take back all of what was taken from it by the uplift, unless the next big earthquake results in another substantial uplift of the Pacific Plate margin.
This will help you ua-cam.com/video/vePBY6ebx7c/v-deo.html
@@macking104 Thanks, Steve, but as a geologist, since 1985, and having grown up in the SF Bay area, I know a lot about the geology and seismology of that region. Now I live near Yellowstone, but I still keep up on what is going on down there.
Interesting geology there. So earthquake activity has weakened the integrity of the sand bluffs, contributing to their degradation? Have to admire their perseverance in Pacifica, but the severe erosion seems bound to continue, if not accelerate. Thanks for the info.
Ayayyyy according to sir Allen A. We need another Earthquake to uplift the Pacifica plate....now make your choice....move out or wait for another Earthquake ?
@@boivilla7458 Isn't it fun to watch people try to live in California? Either they are being burned out by brush and forest fires, or they are being undermined by the ocean, or they get to try to survive an earthquake, or maybe Long Valley Caldera or Clear Lake Volcano, or Mount Shasta, or Lassen Peak will erupt and cover them with hot ash. Not to mention their crazy government which is trying to destroy the remaining agriculture industry and create food shortages so that they all starve to death.
It’s been going on since the beginning of time.
i remember several decades ago when a coastal management group recommended that nothing would be built closer to the edge of the bluffs than, say, 1,000 feet, (i forget the exact measure, but you get the idea.) The space would become park land. Well, there arose from the real estate lobby and a lot ordinary citizens a roar that squelched the idea and reduced the distance to a small fraction of the original concept. So, to all those assholes who built right up to the edge, i say screw you---you were warned. And of course the real estate lobby will suffer no consequence of their greedy opposition.
I live in Appalachia where rich people like to build their second house on a steep slope. That causes landslides which take that house out and everyone below them. Takes out highways too.
The county has tried several times to regulate that, but real estate people, construction companies and other profiteers pulled all kinds of dirty tricks to stop it. They did it, too.
The fenced-in area at 4:50 just beyond the foundation of the apartments that were condemned and demolished use to be a nice park before half of it fell in to the ocean.
Too bad the entire coastline couldn't have been made into a national park about five to ten miles deep. Soul sucking "development" for the few. Paved over, made "affordable" and covered in more trash for our ocean to try to cope with. The human tumor quivers and tries not to think of death while the timeless waves and soaring birds speak of truth and fitting in. Natural cycles.
Have you seen Panama City Beach? It looks like a Home Depot exploded! Nearly every inch of beach, now holds an ugly expensive house! There isn't even 30 feet between them, in most cases! 😡😡😡
@@jenmalcom7654 Gonna look at that, thanx!
This were all developed back in the 1950s
Well said, BAD!
My grandmother lived along that coast back in the 70’s... I went and seen her there till she moved to Anaheim when I was 12 .... the coastline was pretty far away from the homes at that time.... we would go down to beach though I wouldn’t swim as I’m afraid of water, large bodies anyway, but my dad would swim till he got stung by a jelly fish.... I remember the apartments and pier i just loved it there.... so sad to see it now....
Wait, then how did you drink water if you were afraid of water? Did you have Hydrophobia?
Great drone work. Really beautiful.
To build on rock is forever, to build on sand is just a memory
Once upon a time there was a beautiful place called California it had captivating views of the sea, people were drawn to it for lucrative reasons that blinded them to its fatal flaw and it went the way of atlantis and it and those who dwelled on it down in to the depths becoming a legend told of a state that is no more....
(not yet but some day)
Kind of scary where the water is splashing onto the street in front of those coastal homes and people are just out there walking and biking as normal lol

This was inevitable and nothing can stop it.
So true!
Great filming and perfect Music 🎬🔥
Agree!
I've noticed every year the waves are getting stronger and stronger I guess this makes the shorelines more and more susceptible to erosion.
It must be realy peaceful living next to the sound of the ocean
Those sets rolling in, look like theyre saying" youre mine buddy, just a matter of time"
Can't you do a video with a split screen so I can see what it was like before and after
I could, but I don't have time at the moment.
Imagine one day you wake up and there's a shark in front of your eyes lol
Las autoridades deberían de demoler y NO esperar que toda la basura caiga en el mar.
That beach by the pier used to be sandy. I had two friends jump off and swim to shore.
Simply magnificent…breathtaking, power and force and stunning beauty. It will not be stopped.
Thank you for keeping us updated
WAIT A MINUTE... at 5:00.... I just watched a video from '17 where they were dumping HUGE boulders at the foot of the cliff....and here I see that they are NOWHERE in sight. What happened to them ? Every one of those huge boulders are GONE ! And I see that they are still pissing away yet more money at the same exact location !
Democrats playing God.
Trying to change a doomed future.
There is not 1 person watching this that CAN'T see another 100 feet gone in the next 100 years EASY....
California is the example of why Democrats should never be in charge. God help America.
Never underestimate the power of the ocean
@@jegr3398 EXACTLY
My Pacifica CA Beach it's under now way out there most beautiful place to enjoy as a teenager long nights,bonfires , running the cliffs w my brother I can recognize the cliff as I returned... always my love ... Pacifica CA 💋 more than any beach in Cali... remember the old A&W, then taco bell now ,at least the building is still there 💕🤙
YOU CAN'T STOP MOTHER NATURE
Lamentável. O litoral do Pacífico de um sonho mudou para pesadelo.Morar noutras áreas é urgente
Good luck selling that first house. That would give me nightmares. I would be nervous all the time.
Well they said California was going to fall off in the ocean !!!
Let's hope so!
Yes they have! I've been hearing that for at least 40 years now.... But it does seem like it's happening, slowly but surely!
Хорошая идея укрепления склона бетонной корой с хаотично расположенными карманами с землёй для разведения в них диких кустарников и стелющихся растений!
It is a good idea to strengthen the slope with concrete bark with randomly located pockets with earth for breeding wild shrubs and creeping plants in them!
We came across this beautiful place in April of this year on a road trip from San Francisco to LA. It was a chilly rainy day but it was magical. Wish we could have stayed longer.
The waves look like monsters: relentless... Unsettling
And beautiful =)
They where 20 to 30 ft. High tide and wind. You can see the waves forever here.
One of my favorite seawalls... left my heart here.
God i love Cali..pity newsome and his lunatic disciples have destroyed it. Fantastic video work btw mate.
What happens to the debris once it hits the water? Heavey machinery poses too high a risk. Can they burn the houses down? Or would that be too unsafe/costly?
Great footage... BEST music ! thanks : ]
The road in front of the mobile home park is narrower. Deck has slipped on blue house. Concrete pilings are gone on the house with hillside gazebo & walk path
Your dream - to live by the ocean. Your nightmare - living by the ocean.
Wouldn't live there, not even for the view. Is just matter of time before this coast line will gone.
Please do a new flyover after the tsunami of 2022
I'll get it done.
This place looks constantly cold, foggy and hardly any sun. That pier looks dangerous.
If one of those is my house, I'd build a concrete wall 15-20 ft high so the sea can't beat against he soils. Or drive corrugated metal sheet that are 20-30 ft tall used in construction then pile up rocks in front of it like some of those in the video.
This was the coldest place I have ever lived. Very few sunny days north of this video. So happy to be home in Alabama. The fog covered the areas most of the year.
Yep! And I loved every minute of my 20 years there. It was beautiful and I miss it terribly. Thanks for the video(s)!
*How about concrete tetrapods...or reclaiming land...dredging the sand from the ocean floor?*
I tried to push the properties back, up and diagonal. Does it look different? To me some look to be adjusted but not sure if it is permanent.
She will claim it back and there ain’t nothing y’all can do about it, it’s beautiful to see 🌱
really enjoyed this and appreciated the up date. I've followed the erosion problem there for a couple years and have always enjoyed your vids
Thanks very much it means a lot =)
2:20 chimney smoke! Someone's still living there! I wonder how old that house is?
These people aren't ignorant about their environment, so is it mass insanity? Even animals know better than to live in a dangerous home!
This has nothing to do with climate change. This is beach erosion on an unstable coastline. Plain and simple. And we can still have compassion for those whose homes and businesses fates are certain.
The owners should be responsible for anything that falls into the ocean
Until the 60s environment wasn't an issue ever anywhere Lots of these look 60's 70's ish
At any rate there are alot of houses almost solid going back for 1000's of feet Unless municipality and voters willing to write them off DO SOMETHING it just gets harder if you wait. When cliff was only 50 feet 2x easier 25 feet cinch. Look down coast as lower stabilization efforts working, admittedly must be renewed but working
ANY solution will require a blanket exemption from all environmental laws, and instead substitute a board of suitably concerned but flexible organizations to 'approve' environmental impact minimizes negative effects and maximally seeks to create a new if changed positive environment dedicating 5% of cost to fund university studies of work concurrent with work to allow incorporation of mediation when feasible to maximize final positive environment and 10% to final environmental finishing with 10% to initial trust for eco system maintenance to be utilized such that principal increases by investment income or taxation at the rate of inflation.
I see there is a gov't report on what's going to happen from waves and what can be done and a master work of nothingness it is ONE sketch of proposed sand retention structures aka breakwaters fyi these are largely condemned as stealing sand that would move on and help someone somewhere - however if sand isn't flowing elsewhere but to sea this won't matter. That does need to be idenfied. Which is SOP for such reports essentially kicking the can down the road to future generations rather than establishing a ocean boundry defense fine tuning it and it's maintainence and turning that over to future generations The land saved from sea ward erosion between now and then could of course be developed but could also be used to grow bio mass to great soil reinforcing fiber etc fro defensive area. Park even. Seasonal camping. All providing generations of usefullness economic improvement. Our grand kids might actually thank us for that rater than just letting 1000 or 2000 feet of land go then them having to pay top dollar to rush in most intrusive expensive and short lived solutions a flood wall.
The majority of mitagation is to be provided by wholesale and constant refilling of beaches to keep waves away from cliffs and disaptatae their energy before hitting cliff bases. Yet there is no mention of even prelim work on costs sourcing co / equip and sources of replacement sand. I'd guess the first sand pumping, if all of a suddenn city got ontop of this might be 10 yrs down the line and take 10 yrs to finish at where time you start over again. Nothing wrong with this but as soon as the will is lost money used elsewhere, protection disappears faster than any other system.
For high cliff area few options Most traditional solution requires clearing 100 feet of land back from edge, there goes more homes but looks like 1% of what nature will take in 100 yrs, and they'll all go within next 20 anyway. Hire for 30 yrs fleet of jack up barges with 1000 ton capacity cranes more just to act as temp piers running out to water deep enough to run in rock barges and anchor them, past surf / surge line. That's quite a few but will only need to relocate 2 times in work season. Alt would be a half billion buck custom amphib lander that could drag dig etc it's way to clif and back every week or so which might well work, also, marine landing hover craft would do the job and are 'off the shelf' Go to high tide water line w / o surge buiidup mat of 5 ft plus boulders 20 feet deep feel free to infill with smaller rock but they will wash away and need replenishment run that to base of cliff put onto of 20 foot boulder pad ramp of 5 foot rocks at 45 degrees 10 feet deep with fully gradated smaller rock and even gravel dig out hillside placing rock ramp atop until well above worst height of storm waves at transition btw rock ramp and earth position 3 foot high 10 x 10 boulders half a dozen feet apart. Establish high gravel soil over geo textiles inbetween big rocks and leave the tops of big rocks sticking up Establish plantings as densely as possible even if irrigation is mandatory trees aren't needed wind break shrubs and solid ground cover is. Establish street run off water collection for irrigation, might want to repurpose jack up barges permanently set at shore when job done and they are worn out securing them on staggered pattern 10 foot rocks surrounded by piles driven down until just 1/4 projects above grade probably 150 footers. Establish CCC type plant maint department to use local unemployed on the dole as grunt labor for landscape contractors who bid on sections of shore to maintain incentivize the free labor with better health care ie municipal level.
Alternative 1
Start out at low tide line or lower far enough out for 20 foot deep bed of 5 foot plus rock to run 100 feet from foot of cliff, 1/2 way to cliff start ramp of under 5 foot rock up at 45 degrees until it reaches cliff top finish as with other
Alternative 2 / Add on
Establish off shore a line of wind turbines with over sized piers supporting them. In between lay steel netting on sea bed attached to towers to retard withdrawal of sand from beach cliff as each net fills add another net Build up until near surface and net the crap out of it you could even add boulders This could form a break water to a semi lagoon only subject to storm waves. At cliff base stabilize with boulders as needed higher than any waves still coming in, slope off at 45 degrees to roads and builidngs finish as noted above.
Alternative 3 / Add on
Similar to alternative 2, install field of piles 200 feet out 20 to 40 feet apart into ocean with netting / construct to trap sand being removed by waves in between piles keep adding more layers netting or constructs until wave action wont fill them any more finish cliff base etc as in alt 1
Alternative 4
Build 50 feet out from cliff face 20 feet deep 5 - 10 foot boulder field inbetween piles driven every 10 to 15 feet from front edge run ramp of 5 foot plus boulder up 45 degrees until above highest storm wave digging into cliff face as needed to keep ramp 10 feet deep. finish as above Consider continued pile driving under entire ramp with concrete geo matrix to help hold rock and soils in place
Alternative 5
Go to Pakistan or Bangladesh ship breaking yards pay them to 'clean up' several hundred ships so environmentally safe, tow them back, sink them in scattered formation from low tide line out 500 feet to form breakwater. Armor base of cliff as needed with 5 foot plus boulders to above storm wave action min base width equal to height, slope off cliff above that finish as above
Bonus will be highly productive fishery diving not practical due to wave turbulence
Add on
At sea base of boulder fields add piles every 10 feet or so to help keep boulders from washing out
Income Source
Rent out areas atop lower flat boulder field such that it won't negatively impact any planting, but I doubt the boulder field will support much in the way of plantings as it will subject to washing by waves in bad weather and front edge will always be subject to waves. Rent out to mobile biz eateries shops exercise party pavilions etc that would be moved on and off weather wave dependent per somebodies orders
Admit that this is just the last community out from SF, a city with quite a bit of money. SF has many such areas to deal with, this should just be one more.
Cost
The report notes rip rap costs of 48 million per mile which is remarkable as you can build inc deep subbases a mile of 70 wide road for just 11 million. Costs would be significantly reduced if bundled with all areas SF must deal with and the largest possible ie sea based equip used to perform the work.
Naturalize coast
That means let coast erode that is what it naturally does. Mention in report of sand replenishment from cliff and dune erosion misses a vital logical point if cliff and dunes erode they disappear What this naturally means is as time goes on ocean pounds land flat, just as it has for 150 yrs modern man has been here. Perhaps carefully nutured inc watering of bio mass in a wide 'park' area could be composted and added to last dozens of feet by ocean to erode down and replenish beach but I doubt sufficent bio mass would grow even w full cultivation and its not even the right fill material being light easily floated away material not heavy granular sand. Naturalizing also requires vacating hundreds of feet if not 1000 ft requireing reloaction of no doubt many 10's of millions of infrastructure per mile of coast, and the HUGE cost of buying out owners at top dollar. and then hoping you can get the natural solution RIGHT as if you don't it might just fall apart and wash away even faster.
Had a happy mental flossing, cause sure as crap no one who might see this will be in any position to make it happen AND no gov't would risk their cushy jobs pushing such envioronmentally 'damaging' and tax payer costly solution You're talking a billion dollar bond offering and 50 yrs of taxes to pay it back.
2:39 What a view! 😍 Gorgeous!
Seems as though property prices are literally dropping.
Building on Earth Bluffs in a Earthquake Zone !
Many of these houses were likely built when it was considered safe to do so. Then the combination of climate change and multiple El Niño have ravaged that coastline. Now they can’t sell and probably have to wait for an insurance settlement or government buyout to move. In the meantime- what a view!
I seriously doubt that they are able to even get insurance, much less a check from them.
mining operations along the coast initiated and produced most of the damage and as you said, the situation had only worsened with increasing sea levels, storms, and weather events
@@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248 they pay out for wild fire damage, hurricane losses, earthquakes (special rider) and the like, so I imagine if you’ve been there long enough and bought the insurance a long while ago, you’re good. But you’ll PAY.
This erosion has noting to due with climate change. The soil these cliff are made of is very sandy and has been eroding for eons. The only man made cause that could be attributed to costal erosion is the damming of rivers which reduces sediment flow to the coast line but even that would not make a difference with the erosion shown here.
@@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248 Climate change is like a religion in that you can't saying anything that slightly differs from the orthodox or you're a non-believer. If you say that Jesus never walked on water then you're a non-believer and if you say that the costal erosion being shown is not caused by climate change then you're a non-believer. And he says it's also caused by El Niño storms yet the El Niño storms of the 1980s and 1990s where must worst that those of the past 20 years. Which, oldy enough, the weaker El Niño storms of the past 20 years have been attributed to global warming. Also, I've have lived near some of these locations for decades so I know these coast lines first hand.
Why were such properties approved to be built in the first place?
Deixando meu like abraços e valeu 👍👍👍👏👏👏
You people have done a pretty good job out there... using the boulders to fend It Off... nice work... I live in Michigan... in November 1975 the Edmund Fitzgerald iron ore freighter sank in Lake Superior... last words from the captain.... "we're holding our own"... I'd be willing to bet you folks out there in Pacifica could relate to that at this point...🤔 Ernest McSorley... that was his name..
“The Wreak Of The Edmund Fitzgerald” Song by Gordon Lightfoot. I would have not known about the sinking if it wasn’t for this song. I was a young teen.
@@kareenm175 yes so was I... I was 15 years old
Well.... just like the good captain...they only THINK they are holding their own.
Isn't that the truth..
Great video. Thank you. I've been looking for an update for a long time
Taking a walk on some parts of that beach can be Dangerous !
Love the music, great vid!!
Can you post a video with no music .How is the waves sound?
We've been taking our dog to a vet in a building shown at 6:44 for years, and she's moving the practice to San Bruno. I will miss walking the other dog down to the pier. In stormy weather you see the houses across from the seawall, with driveways filled with wet sand, yet a few doors away signs saying "No Managed Retreat!"
LOL
Ahhhh...the arrogance of California. Kind of says it all....now doesn't it!!
wanting to live at the coast is -natural, for many people. rather funny comment to make as you look down on people.
@ Oregon’s so beautiful -congratulations 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm sure they own plenty of other properties to live in
Am i the only one who finds this pretty scary?
Any way you can do n overlay of your previous flights year by year to actually see the change?
That background music, please tell me what that is. It sounds like a call of duty background menu music on a guitar lol

The foolish man who built his house on sand.
Awe inspiring.
Glad pink house is still up but those apartment buildings are gone and a few rows of mobile homes. I see that back white deck finally crumbled into the sea. Thanks for the update. I view that area from google maps but nice to see it up close.
If they really want to stop the erosion, big money and build breakwaters well out beyond where the waves start to break. Then the swells are much smaller by the time they reach the shore so the boulders along the shore can stop the erosion.
What about rain runoff? Looks like a lot of the erosion is runoff caused. You can see the cuts and gullies. This part of the coast is simply a lost cause.
Slow it, maybe, NEVER stop it!
Ow Yes! Really love the part with the house that you start your film with. Find it very interesting to watch nature's force over time. Thank you and keep it up ;)
Do you think someone lives in that? I saw smoke coming out of the chimney.. 🤔
@@lamppuu1 Good eye!
Yeah, I’m fascinated by that one. I’m impressed by the stairs to the beach (I just assume they go all the way to the beach) that were built with a deck part of the way down. Got my fingers crossed 🤞🏼 for that house.
@@lamppuu1 The home on the edge of the cliff with the stairs, is an old radio station. I'm not sure of the name of it.
Building your house on a cliff next the ocean surf line... what could possibly go wrong?
They saved that place at 1:08, i thought it was going over
Looks like chain link to me. Just postponing the inevitable.
@@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248 I think "saved" might be too generous. Its drop into the ocean is inevitable.
@@richdelgado3405 City hall will save the day when their properties are ocean view.
Yes, that’s exactly the house I wanted to see. Last time I saw it filmed was a few years ago.
Stacking rocks under the cliffs makes the erosion worse. Those waves are jumping for joy! 😬😬
When those people owned those homes the developers more then likely knew this would happen.........and it did. I used to live just over the hill from Pacifica and those homes and apartments have been in jeopardy for decades.
🥱I’m going to visit that city again before it’s completely gone.
We never worried about Sharks either just Swam as far as we could out there ... also Stimson.Santa Cruz Ocean ⛱️ . Aptos. ... Mermaid🧜♀️ luv
Apart from beautiful views, what good comes from living there
when you build homes on a sand dune next to an ocean, what do you expect?
“Nothing is eternal under the Moon”.
Everything that belongs to the Ocean, the Mother Nature will take without asking us.
I absolutely love this view.
Global warming high seas taking out my town.Tge apts had a great view backyard. Sea was 10 miles out. High tide water came in 5 miles but still 5 miles out. Now seawater hits the walls. That was 1978. Now look what's happening. All the moss and wildlife gone. @ 4:42 my friends apt was there. She just had a baby boy. We stepped out to the backyard area all cement. Looking down the sea was 10 miles OUT!
I have lived in my coastal city 60yrs. I haven't noticed a increase in water height. Maybe inches. We hear about all this erosion and its not because its new. Internet allows every one to post there issues. In New England we had hurricanes almost every year in the 80s and 90s. We have only seen a few. The jet streams are altering and this happens in cycles. If you think I'm wrong go to your local library. Look up news papers from 20s and 30s. During jun, july, an Aug. You want a good laugh then write those temps down for each day. Then go on gov websites and check what they have listed. The stations are in same location going back over 100yrs. You will notice most high tps are lower on website. Its funny how its just high tp that are different. Sand abutting the water is going to sooner or later go in the ocean. Seriously get into researching history of clmt. Its to get a tax for all developed countries and think of the high paying jobs for hacks. It would be double the staff of social security and not controlled by government
I never knew California had such unique views
