A follow up video of the same location. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnXWhIavaMl5htk

[@meard2010]

great footage👍

[@MerAngel12121]

Thank you, Dave Kent, for your quality work. Much Appreciated. A far Northern Cal resident.

[@skypieper]

oh humans, when will we learn... building in flood plains, building on cliffs, building where's there's little to no water... can't beat nature.

[@BrianLarin]

Build that close to the ocean on sand, you don't deserve to be bailed out when it all collapses. Matter of fact You should get the bill to clean up the mess

[@coasttocoastcaravanning6138]

Still flying brilliant mate great vid don 👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@DaveKentLive]

Thanks!

[@claytalbert1966]

talk about "living on the edge" - YIKES

[@Qce-i6d]

I gotta be honest, the newly created cliffs look kinda epic with the dark sand.

[@Clearanceman2]

Amazing those cliffs appear to be made of sand and no one apparently checked what they were made of before building on top of them.

[@rodtemplar258]

Great video, thanks. I have been surfing opposite those falling appartements in pacifica for years and never even knew there were houses further down there behind those places of business.

[@SchwalmPictures]

Wow this is crazy!

[@TheFilamom30]

A resident was interviewed & asked how concerned she was about the land falling into the ocean. She commented that she wasn't as concerned about what was happening behind their properties as much as she was about "these ppl" coming in & telling residents they needed to move bc...they had no place to go... WHAT??? :-0 It's either fall into the ocean with their homes or apts, or do what officials are telling them to do: GET OUT!

[@jakerazmataz852]

So they are in the same situation as millions of homeless and illegals. 😥 Oh, wait, illegals get priority over citizens.

Mother nature renovating

[@ralphaverill2001]

I worked on the construction of the RV park shown in the video, (4:00) some 25+ yrs ago. I used to sit on the cliff edge at lunch and watch the pelicans and the occasional whale. The cliff edge has crept back about 35 feet since then, if memory serves. The cliffs were eroding back then and everyone knew it. They're just compacted sand! Global climate change bringing higher sea levels and more violent storms and the Pacific Ocean will eat every structure seen in the video in ten years. Maybe less.

[@dnmack1]

...and people will pay top dollar for Cliffside property again.

[@ralphaverill2001]

I bet the people owning property shown in the video would love to find some sucker to take their fast-moving real estate off their hands.

[@danburch9989]

They'll find someone. It will be the taxpayers and/or insurance companies. They do this on the flood plains of the Mississippi River, the Outer Banks of NC, the Gulf Coast. Natural evolution of the land causes destruction and they rebuild on the same spot of ground. Einstein once said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

[@rocketraccoon1976]

+ Ralph Averill Won't that pillar shoring wall and boulder repository in front of the mobile home park work? 1:01

[@ralphaverill2001]

The shoring and boulders will buy some time. Because neighboring properties didn't use the pillar shoring, the RV park will have extend the shoring around its flanks as it slowly become a peninsula and eventually an island. (There are many such islands along the northern Pacific coast, a couple of them off Pacifica not far from where the video was shot.) At some point it simply won't be worth it any more, and they will throw in the towel. Also, there is still erosion from wind and rain, although nowhere near as rapid as wave erosion. The developers' investment/return time line is limited. Nature's time line extends to infinity.

[@Clearanceman2]

Like a game of don't break the ice. How much can you remove before the next piece falls?

[@GeoscienceImaging]

Incredible footage!

[@DaveKentLive]

Thanks!

[@johnbatchler8551]

that whole area should be an evacuation zone

[@mooseandsquirrel9887]

This is a shame, all that money, nice homes etc……folks have lost a lot…..and it’ll just get worse.

[@gloria45]

And that my friends is how Mother Nature reclaims herself, and she is just getting started...

[@pp63100]

HOLY CRAP!!! I once rented a moving van from that U-Haul. Was it like that in 2009? Glad I only needed it to put my belongings in a storage unit. I got done before dusk. So returned van with plenty sunlight outside. Lucky there wasn't any fog that day.

[@tubedude54]

Take a look at the 3:10 mark and notice the road about 300 feet back. The entire area between the road and the waters edge should be cleared and sloped from the roadside to the water and rip rapped with large stones to gradually smaller ones about halfway and then sodded the rest of the way. This would put an end to the erosion and make maintenance of 'blowouts' easier to manage and restore after big storms. Failure to do this will result in the 'cliff' continuing to move inward and eventually claim the entire community! I suppose they could leave a buildable area, say 60-80 feet, by the street on the seaward side so the property owners don't lose everything but they better act soon as to what they are going to do!

[@metafis2490]

That plaza at the start was only built 2 years ago....the erosion has been going on for at least 25 years...why build there?.

[@OLDGUY7301]

I beg to differ. Erosion has been going on forever. The American plate has always been lifting, up it always will. All the earth is moving all the time. It's just so slow that we don't notice until something falls.

[@robertgotschall1246]

I lived in Sharp Park about a mile down the beach from this spot 50 years ago. This was happening even then. Environmental land usage is not just for tree huggers.

[@cleusamaria551]

PORQUE NÃO FAZEM VÍDEOS NOVOS DESSE LUGAR,E MOSTRAM A SITUAÇÃO ATUAL?????????

[@DianaHernandez-ts7nq]

It is said.. What belongs to the ocean. The ocean takes it back.

[@Entheogin913]

For some reason this makes me think of Clevland from family guy and him falling out of his house in the bathtub.

[@charles.stewart4422]

Wow , this area needs Lots of rocks may be 10' high & 15' wide all along the coast line to stop soil Erosion in it's track !

[@DaveKentLive]

I can appreciate your idea.But the ocean would just go around your rock wall sooner or later.

[@charles.stewart4422]

Yeah l agree but people have to do things or ocean can do serious damage to cliff edge , Rocks as we know slow it (Soil Erosion) down , as they say every little bit helps :))

[@magkyt3636]

Does anyone know if that over hanging terrace is still there? @ 20=23 sec's.

[@DaveKentLive]

Yes, it's still there if you mean the swimming pool. The railing at the mini park is long gone.

[@DJJonPattrsn22]

Wait... so that's a swimming pool?! Filled in apparently... Don't tell me that patio is just a cover for the pool. I was wondering whether that structure (that apparently is a pool) was a basement or something. Any idea when the pool was filled or covered with that patio?

[@wilaiwanphansakorn5201]

เสียด้ายจัง บ้านสวยๆทั้งนั้นเลย

[@sarfrajkhan6655]

wow

[@anthem11212]

How does home owner insurance look at this?

[@MerAngel12121]

Dave my first comments on this vid were at the end of Jan "2016" and I just received responses to them a few days ago Feb "2017". This is happening with other channels too. I actually commented on a vid with an important and urgent question on a medical issue in June "2014", got the response a few days ago, Feb "2017". Two and a half years! I am under the impression that it has something to do with data-mining. The United Nations runs the web now. Good, bad or ugly, that's the way it is.It was signed over by Mr ZerO in recent months.

[@julienrockingham-ip4co]

You know, I vaguely remember there. Being a passage in a bible that talks about building your house on the sand and building on the rock

[@danielnorth1319]

Which drone did you use?

[@paulbroderick8438]

Canute had the same problem. Should have never been granted permits in the first place to build.

Who in the fuck would down voted this video? Come and talk to me and tell me why.

[@Santro77]

alguém está assistindo em 2018???

[@EclecticAudiophile]

I'm glad I live here in Maine. Much prettier coastline and safer. You people want to live right on the water , you should live on a boat. Here it would be a lobster boat and seeing first sunrises. Beautiful, "The Way Life Should Be"

[@pp63100]

+EclecticAudiophile You're going to judge an entire state's coastline from a 3 minute video, that's focusing on the effects of beach erosion caused by El Nino? Have you ever taken a drive on the Pacific Coast Highway? Although it isn't the safest to drive on because of the natural hazards that exist. It has to be in the top 3 drives amongst the 48 mainland states.

[@Here_Today_]

EclecticAudiophile how's the weather right about now?

[@jerbiebarb]

When was that layer of red sediment laid down?

[@B33F22]

I really hope this comment was a joke.

We're waiting for it..

[@jerbiebarb]

subarolla it?

[@subarolla]

+jerbiebarb Your punchline or at least some explanation as to what you are speaking about?

[@skylinn]

only that mobile home park had any kind of cliff reinforcement.

[@lenaely6146]

I think this is beautiful... I'm am Indigenous woman; we warned the Colonists not to build out there.... We see where things went..

[@dustykeele]

Sure Jan.

[@bobsibert1968]

At least the colonists gave you beautiful disease's lol

[@relijinnx4639]

😯😳😔

[@branbeelotus]

Who’s brilliant idea was this ?

[@DaveKentLive]

In 1950s there was another 100ft of cliffside

[@dawnagamble3136]

Are ppl still living there?

[@DaveKentLive]

Some are, Some are not due to demolition of those properties.

[@67mustang49]

What kind of fairy tale land do these people live in?

[@Clearanceman2]

They're living in a fool's paradise!

[@ivanolsen7966]

the same people who couldn't be bother demanding someone better than Trump ..when he was running for ....

[@stephentresca3536]

Wow a lot more erosion in 2024

From this video, you will discover that there are several theories taught in universities by a wrong way... Three theories or forces dominate or control upon the planet of the earth... First:The force or theory that dominates upon the atmosphere is the end of the of the first theory of climate change and global warming (dynamic horizontal movement)... Second:The force or theory that dominates upon Tsunami,earthquakes,volcanic eruptions,sinkholes,dry lakes and rivers,flow of sweet water from the bank of dead sea,the formation of new mountains or islands,collaps of mountains ,& ,& ,&... Third:The water is revolving or orbiting the earth... Yousif A Tobiya Forcibly displaced

[@InspireMe819]

don't own land. just pay rent. that way you avoid property taxes and avoid having Liens placed on property.

[@tubedude54]

Where do you think the landlord gets the money to pay the taxes??? I'll give you a clue... from the RENTERS!

[@BrianLarin]

Stop building on sand so close to the coast.
