UmmmI said I wasn't going to bring up an abortion topic for awhile--and then I read this in the paper; I almost didn't open up the article based on the headline

That whole part of the state is geologically unstable . I'm surprised this hasn't happened before

Thanks Tom. The slide was aver 100 miles away from where we live. Did you read that in 1997 a geologist filed a report with the Army Corp of engineers that the area was dangerous and would slide? Of course zoning is local and money trumps all but this will unleash a flurry of law suits.
I thought I heard there had been a previous slide, but not of this magnitude. You are right abut people ignoring the dangers. One of these days the big quake will hit California and I'm sure it won't be pretty. But, until then, people will go about there business and not worry about it.

I listened to an interview of an expert on slides, and he said there is no practical way to prevent the slide from occurring. I wonder how many other communities are in similar danger. Do you make them move out? Do your prohibit building in areas like this? I wonder if they could blast the hillside away (man made slide), and then come in and grade it and build on top.

To take a line from Pat, it appears that the building on dangerous property zoned as residential is what we can expect conservatives governing. :smile:

It has nothing to do with conservatives or liberals . It has to do with greedy developers.

It also has nothing to do with climate change.
