PlayhousePalssays...No wonder the rent was so affordable!
radxsays...Is the lack of an evacuation a sign of failing public institutions or just your good old-fashioned disregard for the safety and well-being of the plebs?

EMPIREsays...Why the fuck are people still in those apartments?!
Evacuate that place. There is nothing that can be done unfortunately
eric3579says...They aren't. They had been evacuated. http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/26/us/pacifica-residences-on-cliffs-edge/index.html

SDGundamXsays...Ah, Pacifica. I used to work in the area and would head there on my lunch break. Grab a sandwich from the deli at Safeway and sit on the beach watching the waves roll in while I ate. Water is cold as fuck though. I made the mistake of paddling out without a wetsuit one summer during a heatwave and got hypothermia even though the air temp was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
They've always had problems with erosion there, so this is kinda unsurprising to me. There's really nothing they can do. In the video you can see PCH (Highway 1, the Pacific Coast Highway) and I wonder how many years it'll be before the erosion is creeping up to that point. I know that just south of Pacifica they've had to close PCH a couple of times to shore up the road because it was in danger of collapsing, and during rain storms it sometimes gets closed due to landslides from the hills next to it.
Paybacksays...Not sure what residents were expecting living on top of what's literally a sand dune...
