    Hey, they wanted an Oceanfront view right? I don't see a problem. You pay a premium for that - they'd be lucky if I didn't raise the rent! :rofl: :lol:

    I don't think the life jacket is likely to survive that fall. :doh: A wing suit might be better for those late-night surprise cliff dives.... :D

    Worry not. The government will help them rebuild.

    See the fishing pier at 1:38? I lived right by that in '86. My backyard butted up to the highway you can see in the background in much of the video. Noisiest place I ever lived, with the traffic.

    I was looking at buying 30 acres of property about 20 years ago. Was a screaming deal and I even had the cash at the time to buy it.About 10 acres were in a flood plain and 20acres with house and barn were high and dry and I mean 50-60' above the historical high water level.
    Called my insurance agent to see if I could insure the property and it was a NO GO. Not even the high ground.
    I prolly should have bought it and had the low ground subdivided.
    That said I don't know how developers can build close to erosion zones like that. They must pay off zoning and do a quick build and dump.

    Right where I want to be.
    If you build it.....they will come.
    I found it interesting to see people walking on the sidewalk 50' from the cliff, and even a truck went by on the road.
    Ma nature doesn't care if you live on an eroding piece of her land. If she wants it back, it's hers.
