I have had this nightmare many times, either in a house or eating a restaurant and the ocean starts coming in. I am nearly 70 and have had this dream most of my life. It is actually happening now and I would be terrified if I owned one of these homes. 😬
I have that dream too. I've had beach houses. But, at this time? I wouldn't have a beach house unless it was high up on a sturdy cliff overlooking an ocean. The coasts now are vulnerable because the polar caps are melting. I see none of our governments are preparing for this disaster.
Me too. I have a recurring dream that I have a modular home on the beach, and it washes away and floats for a while! With me in it. And in my mind I am thinking, "at least I still own the land at the beach"....lol I have had big wave dreams all my life for some reason.
I've actually eaten many times at the marine room in la Jolla ca and those waves crash right at your window. They have broken through more than once in storms.
Gee folks, building your house in the kingdom of the ocean is not smart. Obviously these people do not believe in the hype about sea level rise or they would be moving.
@@kathyinwonderlandl.a.8934 wow!! Lucky you! Sounds dreamy. 🤗I wish I lived during that time and could've experienced that. I love love love Southern California ❤
.... and the idiots still choose to live there regardless if it was built 60 or 70 years ago. The state should have imposed eminent domain in order to protect those people from themselves 🤔🤣
Thanks for this! I can't believe the entire beach is gone! Holy cow we went there for years...so many memories...where we live now it's burning...it's surreal
Only a matter of time!!!!!!,BUT WHAT GETS ME THE MOST IS ALL THAT UNNECESSARY STUFF WASHING AWAY INTO THE OCEAN SSOOOO BREAK'S MY HEART ❤ THE wood,plastic bags that the sandbagsar are used,debris of things washed away from the house's ,glass ,concrete,,,ETC...My poor Dolphins, Whales, Seals, Fish, Sharks, Turtles, Sea-Otters,and All other sealife pay a high price!!!!! 😢
PEOPLE GETTING AUTHORIZED TO BUILT HOUSE ON THE BEACH SAND LITERALLY TO HAPPEN THIS NOW TO THE OCEAN GETTING ALL THEIR GARBAGE, THAT SADS ME NOT PEOPLE LOSING THEIR HOUSES...
Honestly, I think you have a screw loose if you buy property there. Ok, so you have a beautiful view but what good is it when you can’t even sleep at night because you’re afraid your house is going to get washed out to see? How much damage from salt on your house every year? How much home insurance do you pay? Are you actually hoping those couple of plywood panels and sandbags will save you? All in all it’s a horrible investment. You want to be near water buy a boat!
Originally in Malibu, the homes were simply built as beach shacks to be used on an occasional basis. Now, extremely expensive homes shoulder to shoulder on the beach. Many now have deep concrete pilings to help stabilize them and many homes the waves break right under the house. It is only a matter of time before it will not be feasible to live there. Depending on where you are, the the homes are directly on the PCH which is busy and noisy and nearly impossible to get you care in/out of the garage. The Colony has a private street.
Ocean waves have been crashing into beaches for the past 5 billion years. The only thing amazing about that is the number of people who just now noticed it.
In any ocean, the Pacific is mildest of oceans, The Atlantic is more violent. However, it is poor choice to live that close to the water. The view must matter to them above all other considerations.
All beech's should be specified as public access areas, no commercial/private property building allowed. The grab and the greed of these people know no boundaries and worst of all they are allowed to do so.
Do people actually live in these houses? Do they manage to sleep at night? Do they spend all their time watching weather forecasts and tide tables? Do they live in a constant state of anxiety and never talk about anything else?
Nice to visit a beach but to live on one is definitely something I'd never do. All it takes is an earthquake out in the ocean in the middle of the night to cause a Tsunami and she's all over with
I was thinking the same thing. They do not even have anywhere to run. That hill behind them looks way too steep to climb. This should be illegal to live here. The gov should buy out these peoples land and force them to relocate or demo their homes before a disaster strikes.
Its actually cheaper to have your house relocated than it is to clean it up and rebuild after being destroyed. Also, getting some one to insure you or give you a loan to rebuild in the same spot, will be impossible. Its cheaper to relocate before this happens.
@@ginadelsasso288 All they have to do is look at Japan in 2011 and the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, they said that some waves were over 100 feet in the Banda Aceh coast, killing about 170,000 people.
I’m an Oceanographic researcher and our models are showing it getting much worse. With intensity increasing by as much as 25 -30 % per year. Your going to need a sea wall 15 ft in height.
Ocean: This’ mine! 🌊 After watching a ton of these types of videos, I still don’t understand why people think they can stop the ocean with cement, a few rocks and sandbags.
I really like how you all protect the high sand hills or dunes behind y'all houses. Even a road for the waves to demolish, to protect those fine white sand dunes. You soo smart! 🤗
I thought i had it bad in illinois because all we have for views are corn fields. I will enjoy our waves of grain a little more now after seeing the waves from the ocean come so close to these peoples homes. Corn fields have never destroyed a home as far as i know, but the ocean? Now that is a different story. I am really starting to appreciate where i live more and more these days.
....this has been an ongoing battle for as long as I've been alive. Beach Road is a wonderful place to rent a beach house for a week in the summer. To own?, the jury's still out on that one.........
Whilst we know they shouldn't have been built there in the first place it is a poignant reminder of our vulnerability in the face of climate change and rising oceans.
I agree. The earth has many areas that are not suitable for building as well. Clay foundations cause landslides, or mountainsides collapse, and sinkholes occur, earthquakes...etc. A view is magnificent but you risk it because you probably don't imagine it will happen in your lifetime.
Why do they build homes there? In the 60s Dana Point harbor was built just to the north and it changed the coastline so the water slowly washed away the sand. However the tides get high during this time of year especially around the full moon combined with ocean storms. I lived there off and on from the 60s to the 80s. Was a beautiful long beach before and now it's a very expensive mess. Too bad.
Yeah. I just visited Big Sur below Bixby bridge, there is no beach now. As a kid 45+ years ago i remember walking down the beach. Could be rising sea or tides, im not a scientist.
You should mention where this beach is located in your voice over. I cannot believe you did not give the State, city, and further identifying geographic markers.
I grew up in California and the sound and view of the waves is like a siren sound, reminding me of all the fun I had there as a child. Today, I live inland in NH, thank God.
And the c Street parking lot in Ventura. Oh yeah, and a piece of the cliff gave way at San elijo. And there are those rising sea levels that are worrying the residents of del Mar. After what happened in new york, nothing's going to surprise me now.
@@christineboydstrongtower I wrote my first Earth Day article about global warming for the Park City Ear in 1990. People have been treating me like a kook because I'm an environmentalist. Well now it's here. If I were A New Yorker I would expect that to happen more consistently, not to mention Florida and Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.
If you keep going south and crossover railroad tracks there a public parking/ restroom where you can walk your dog play basketball what not... I've seen the waves come up to the deck and all the way up to the tracks....
Over here on the right coast, we don’t build so close to the high tide mark. Granted our beach are not between a cliff and the ocean. But that to me looks like, between a rock and a hard place. For the most part, our homes are on wood piles. And there is no such thing as a wet beach description for our ocean front homes. High mature dunes is more like it. Given, we have hurricane and nor’easters and the wet beach might be a real issue? But I don’t think it’s an easy way to live with that issue on an annual basis. If not more? Is there a
i know what video your talking about, the pacifica california video of the bluff losing dirt and an apartment bldg right on the edge. i went out to san francisco in august and rented a car and visited pacifica and that area. beautiful place but not so great to live there.
Like the name of the channel. Those waves are getting aggressive as hell lately... your in an tough spot. Obvious why yall are there... keep ahead of it the best you can with preventive measures. Best of luck..
This is Malibu??? I've traveled many times over thru that route when I lived in San Diego... So beautiful but always wondered how ppl could live there so close to the ocean... I don't mind a beachhouse if it's high above from the waves if it ever comes this close... 🌿🌹🌿
If I were the sea, the beach or the waves a long time ago, I would have swept away all those houses that are built in an area that corresponds precisely to the sea .. Then they cry when it destroys their happy residences.🌊🌧⚡
The jetty at 1:10 is preventing sand from migrating which means less beach for houses beyond. Some houses do not have rock break water which is also no good.
I love this. It's very peaceful to listen to. What kind of wood did you use to repair your sea wall? It looks beautifully durable. ❣️❣️❣️ I am a new subscriber.
My parents rented beach houses here in the 60's. My brothers and I were in paradise for a couple of weeks each time. Last time we stayed was 1974 when the rent went up to $300 a week! 😊 A lot of money for the time. The sand was very wide back then. So sad to see how global warming is washing away such a beautiful place. Just memories and photographs left.
It is written more than 30K years ago, 'Thou shall not build on sands', and the fools do. You should have lined that beach with 4-10 tonne boulders 50 meters away and 5 meters high. Boulders break the waves and slows down the flow. Now it's all going to wash away. When will you learn? 🙄
Erosion is a major factor when owning a beach house / residence. There is always a chance that your beach condo will end up in the drink, or not worth a cent. After considering these possible scenarios, you still plumb for the beach house, then enjoy it while you are able & don't be afraid to walk away with nothing but memories.
No sympathy for people who build their homes where the waves can still break. Also, building houses below the cliffs like that, messes up the erosion. The shore naturally erodes over time and if there are houses in the way, it wreaks the equallibrium of the sea.
ok I watched all the way through. wheres this destroyed parking lot. I saw people stood on a roadway. is that it. but not the major damage I was expecting
Interesting - rising sea levels, yet across the Pacific the sea level has not risen (Australia) so is there a step in the ocean and how to ships get over that step ???? Or is there a sort of ramp - you know - sea level not being level anymore ???
I wonder how far away was the waterline when these houses were first built? Considering this current situation, I wonder if these houses have lost their value? I guess they never think about tsunamis….I wonder if there’s ever been one in this area.
Would have been a better video if you caught the damage happening on camera, not the after effects. Sorry but i thought from the title that is what we were going to watch.
