They are now about to become mobile homes on the way to the beach. And, of course, taxpayers are expected to do something about it. In California, the rich buy property in the middle of nowhere, so they don't have to live around slobs.

Meritage is the 5th largest builder in the USA, but that probably means that they've got good lawyers to limit the damage.

I can answer it for them: Their houses are built next to a steep hill on what looks like sandy soil meaning that its very prone to erosion. Then you have the fact that all the trees and vegetation that was originally there was cleared to build the houses. Meaning that all the roots and etc. that were protecting the hill from erosion and eventually catastrophic collapse are now gone. Finally you have the developers that built the homes in the first place that either didn't do their due diligence to ensure where they were building was stable. With the latter being paid the city a fuck ton of money to build there so they could profit and leave ASAP. So yeah, there you go, that's why the hill is collapsing, and is why it's important to leave the vegetation alone around hills and cliffs.

I thought that was the governments job? 😮

[@fastmankim1]

That is one of the biggest don't s of house buying. The edge of a cliff

Responsibility? It’s called WEATHER!

Called hiring managers that have blue and green hair that graduate from liberal colleges.

This is a highly rare situation. Usually homes can be built within inches of a mud cliff. But, in this unusual case homes are actually falling off the mud cliff...weird.

Matthew 7, 26-27: 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

This is what happens when it’s all about the DOLLAR 💵

I hope all the homeowners who are affected get justice sooner than later.

[@bendy6626]

They ARE getting justice. They're just not happy about it.

[@JamesOzmun]

@bendy6626 Yes, of course. _Do forgive my oversight to outline a play by play commentary for the main point of discourse_ .

No trees no shrubs just dirt. Figured it out for you lol

This same thing happened in Washington PA on Lobell Drive, they built a development on hill, man made or over an old landfill.. I can't remember exactly it was so long ago.. 25+ years now, but the same issue was happening, land sliding.

Answer: Move.

[@gphillimo]

Shouldn't have bought houses right there. Be mad at yourself if you bought a house here

[@stephaniewalsh67]

After seeing this, I am so grateful for my intact secure home here in Maine

That racism is really getting out of control.
