They build those grand homes right on the damn edge of the water and expect everyone to feel sorry for them when a storm and waves hits the damn doors of the house and washes away the land it sits on. Really!! Ridiculous!!!
You may find it difficult to believe, but it's possible the houses were once set back much, much farther from the shore, and beach erosion changed the land over time.
I live in MN and I’ve never seen so many houses so close together. Their absolutely beautiful but I would never want one. Here in MN we have Lake Superior and 10,000 other huge lakes plus the Mississippi River. We also have very strict rules when it comes to building on shorelines. You can only build on a certainly level high or up and depending on the soil so many feet away. It’s to protect the shoreline, nature, and houses from being destroyed. Oh and the biggest thing, the septic tanks are very expensive. No human waste in our lakes, rivers, streams and the most beautiful place of all the Boundary Water Canoe Area that lays between Canada and MN. There is no building at all in the region. The water is so clear when you look toward the bottom it looks like it’s about 10 inches deep when in fact it may be 4 to 10 feet deep. We love and protect our water. We have strong environmental protection laws and I am all for them. Nature should be shared and protected.
You can have lake tsunamis, but sounds like you you wouldn't have waterfront prop anyways, but 2021 just to.let you know the great lakes can be just as dangerous and unpredictable as the ocean shorelines

It’s not the ocean, it’s Lake Michigan, this is why these are called the Great Lakes, this location is Long Beach Indiana on the Eastern end of Michigan City Indiana, very close to the Michigan state line.
For all the people wondering this is Long Beach Indiana, that “ocean” is Lake Michigan, in this year 2021 lake levels fell on Lake Michigan so these houses once again have fairly large beaches again. This is a regular occurrence on the Great Lakes, water levels rise and fall over the years but houses occasionally do fall in.My family has been coming to this area since the 1960’s I met my wife here, many people from Chicago come here, my sister lives here, it’s a great place as is all of Lake Michigan’s East shore, it’s an area filled with dunes and small lake side towns, a really great area but don’t tell anyone it’s a secret.
It staggers me to see the wealth in this country! Every coast and every state has mansions. These houses are BEAUTIFUL! .And there's so many of them! How lucky some people are to have a life where they can afford a house like these, on the ocean...I'm just a poor guy from a row home...:)...I ain't complaining but; it's interesting to contemplate how they all got it...
They have the house on the water. Now they have now they don't. What were they thinking? Guess they have the money to rebuild. This is only the beginning. Don't buy beachfront property high or low.
The confidence of building so close to the sea.............mother nature....little by little eating away at the foundations. One day your house is just floating out to sea.⛵🚣
Just a warning to potential viewers: this is a CLICK-BAIT video. There are absolutely no houses featured here that are "GONE" or "Washed Away" or "Torn Apart." If that's what you are here to see, keep going, folks. There is some nice footage of strong waves battering sea walls, and even a couple houses getting splashed, but that's all you're getting here.
Well, the view is fantastic, dangerous location though. I live by the seaside, in Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands, Spain, and we got regulations to build that near. However, if mother nature goes crazy, as the world nowadays, anything can happen...

The cycle up and down. They have since the end of the last ice age about 12k years ago. They will continue to do that until Niagra Falls breaks through to Lake Erie when they'll drain out.

@villian 74 No I live in a house about 200 feet behind one of the houses shown in this video. In a couple of years my house will be lake front. F*ck the bastard and others around him that blocked access to the lake back in the day. Serves them right.
Yeah as beautiful as these houses are...and as serene as living on the shore line is I dont know if I would want to risk my house from the destruction of the sea!!!!
Yeah this UA-camr is playing it up for all it's worth. This is from 2020 and the lake level has dropped significantly and the beaches are back. Not to say it can't happen again and to my knowledge all of these houses are still there, though there were some houses lost in Michigan to the east.
So many lovely homes....so sad....gives a new meaning to beach front living...g'zzz.....back in the 70's and 80's I lived beach side....the beach now is so much smaller, even with constant sand replacement . Nowadays , I have no desire to live beach side , or even close....gorgeous to look at , but not to live near :(
Folks... it is a storm... water is running higher than average... One could look across the planet and judge where people should and shouldn't live. The video itself is good, and very interesting.
A good friend lives on the Potomac River, he had a work associate bring in (VW Beetle) size boulders to build a complete rock sea wall.....his wood pylon wall was just not strong enough to combat the pounding of the water.....the erosion is serious.....
Soooo Anyway ,in Breezy Point(New Jersey) they built up reinforced sand dunes, dredged sand from a few miles out in the water. The army core of engineers N.Y. completed it after Hurricane Sandy took away all the houses...facing ocean 🌊. It took abillion dollars though...
