In this part of the world, building on the coast, by the edge of a river or on a lake side is stupid. Unless you like losing your house. Complaining about it is like moving next to an airport and complaining about the noise... Or building a house on a seaside cliff in Malibu. Let's see, the cliff erodes at 3 feet a year and I want to plant a $3 million house 10 feet from the edge. I should be able to live here, hmm, ok, this is tough..., forever! Most hills in CA should not be built on......they are the first to slide during winter rainstorms. As for Malibu, you haven't lived until you see a hillside covered with plastic to prevent the rain from soaking into the ground or seeing a swimming pool or patio hanging over the edge of cliff or seeing a hillside sprayed with perma concrete to keep it from moving. And yet, year after year, they build houses on more and more hills. The problem is people don't thing the bad thing will happen to them. ted
