  1. Who they kidding those houses are done they worth nothing!!

  2. They wanted to own that view. May be wiser to make these unstable areas parks that everyone can enjoy when it's safe to do so.

  3. Well it was your choice to built it there.. but I guess you know how dangerous it will be.. thus it reminds us that we at all times needed to use our head at all times..

  4. We take water away from farmers because of environmental issues, but let super rich build homes where it could hurt the environment!

  5. Wow! To have so much money that you really don't care if it falls off the cliff. Meanwhile homeless people abound and middle class and lower middle class can hardly pay for shelter. Gotta love California!!

  6. I’m looking at a house built on a cliff … lol 😂

  7. My husband and I have walked along the rocks directly underneath that A-frame house and have always looked up marveled that it's survived collapse all these years. You can walk along the cliff side and literally break off chunks of crumbling rocks with very little effort. Such a collapse of this magnitude does not surprise me.

  8. Feel sorry for them. But I won’t even buy a house close to
    A small hill let alone cliff

  9. Why did my insurance cancel me ?

  10. the city is doing everything it can except prohibit building on sand

  11. Climate change my butt it's just the Earth living and breathing😂

  12. Climate change??? They have been seeding your clouds to build up the California water table! Look for the TRUTH!!!

  13. Humans are encroaching animal habitat rich like to build their mansion near the ocean, mountain if the universe is attainable to travel people would be building houses all over atmosphere.Insane!

  14. A quick look at real estate info shows the house on the left was built in 2003 on land bought in 1997 for 1.4 mil. The property is now valued at 14 mil. I doubt it'll still be there in 2047.

  15. 😂 What's wrong with this people build their a house?

  16. Have they though of using horizontal placed piles a good 100 ft into cliff and pour a base around exposed pyles. Just a thought

  17. Why are you americans so salty?
    I mean the rich people won't care too much abou it and it didn't even collapse a house so far. Yeah it looks very spectecular, but compared to how many homes collapsed/got destroyed because of the floodings/ flashfloods / mudflows / landslides in the last storm(s), it really doesn't matter and shows that it's really not that stupid to build on a cliff (it's only stupid, if you didn't calculate to possibility of smth like that in….) and that there are more than enough other more stupid locations to build a house…..

    or is it because of the media attention?

  18. Part of the cost of living on top of a cliff at the beach for the ocean view.
    If you can’t afford to have your property fall into the ocean, then don’t have your property and home on top of a beach cliff.

  19. "It's beautiful "………looking at the homes that can't take one more landslide! Lol 🤦‍♀️

  20. ซ่อมได้ อะไรก็ซ่อมได้ this song from Thailand

  21. Well I'll tell you this much, you really don't go walking around with billions in USD cash in your pockets. So it's unlikely that these people bought it right on the spot like a 3 musketeers candy bar at the local 7 – 11 on Beach Blvd in Huntington Beach California. I'm going to have to leave it at that. I don't want to get in trouble with the thoughts police again on YouTube.

  22. Oh, so now they're all crying about it? Okay. Earth science honors in high school taught me that while it is beautiful it is still deadly so I wouldn't make it my one & only sole property in my real estate portfolio. I'd pitch a tent in California, not build a house or especially a mansion. But hey, not everyone else is so truly that smart. Excuse me I need to get back to my own business of minding my own P's & Q's. Good night.

  23. 1984 George Orwell novel on the definition of the term in it called the Thoughts police. I just have to put it here since YouTube made me clean up my act with my comments online now going forward.

  24. I am just here for the comments

  25. Yes, it's the climate change. Of course! Not the stupidity of people who building homes on the edge of a cliff in California.

  26. Nice view but no thanks.

  27. Thoughts and prayers for them😅

  28. Really not a risk living in that?

  29. The “hill” is just a massive amount of dirt that was packed in by an ancient tsunami.
    It will do this until it is gone. The whole State is a disaster area waiting to wake itself.

  30. No way! Im not going to sleep and really get put to sleep with a drop, hit, and splash. Oh, hi god what happened?

  31. oh, stop with the climate change bs.

  32. There are some bitter broke people in these comments…just because someone is rich doesn't mean they didn't work hard for it or deserve empathy. Stop being bitter

  33. Bring back the dislike counter !

  34. Who cares ?
    The only people dumber than the owners are the news puppets.
