Did these people fail science in Fourth Grade?

I was boogie boarding one day and watched a 100 yard section of the cliff, just underneath the glider port, simply and almost silently, fall to the beach. Millions of pounds of dirt gave in to gravity, no wind, no rain, no earthquake, the surf line was 50 yards away.
It happens and has happened since the beginning of time. That (and the coastal commission) is why people don't build their houses there.
Can’t believe people who own beachfront property in San Clemente need gov’t help to repair it. Does that make any sense at all?It makes as much sense as giving Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, taxpayer subsidies to make questionable quality cars few people want, even fewer can afford.
signs all over the place saying “Stand back, unstable cliffs”
Same in San Mateo County. Walking on top of the bluffs, you see these huge cracks in the dirt a ways back from the cliff edge. The cracks an even better warning than the signs.
Every few years, a sunbather at the bottom of the cliffs gets killed when the cliffs give way like you saw. There’s no surviving that.
I was stationed at Las Pulgas onboard Pendleton in 1968, just before I was sent overseas to Khe Sanh.
My parents lived in Palmdale, Ca, I was able to make the drive from Palmdale to Las Pulgas in about an hour and 15 minutes.
Now it takes about 4 hours to drive from Downey, Ca. to the north boarder of Camp Pendleton!
California needs to immediately RED TAG all properties within 2 miles of the Coast, declare then uninhabitable and require the current property owners to raze any and all structures on said property, They need to be forcefully protected from the evil climate change(weather)
THOSE cliffs have been eroding for EONS.
