Frankly if I owned an insurance business I wouldn't insure homes on Laguna's hillsides. Absolutely nuts building there. The earth there is so sandy and brittle. Many of the homes aren't attached to any bed rock and if they are so what, the earth on top or a sliding house above will take away everything on top of the foundation. Go across PCH on the seashore side where cliff homes cost $5 mil dollars that where closed up, condemned because a nearby gas stations gas tanks leaked and contaminated the soil, weakening it. Living in that paradise isn't paradise after all. You generally sacrifice something in paradise, sometimes you won't know what it will be until it hits you.
