indigi posted:people build houses on washaway beach? It was known as North Cove and was a popular vacation destination in the 70s and 80s until it started falling into the Pacific Ocean at a rate of 100ft+ a year. The house I mentioned was two blocks from the water when it was on Zillow and is probably already 200' offshore by now

Here's the effort post I made about Washaway Beach in the hiking/camping thread:Lacrosse posted:There's a place in Washington State called Washaway Beach that used to be the town of North Cove until it started falling into the ocean at a rate of about 100' a year starting in the 1980s. You can read more about North Cove here: http://www.washawaybeach.com/history/

A lot of this costal erosion is a result of typically shortsighted capital-driven costal management. Things like homeowners building seawalls to protect their property from storm surge which leads to faster erosion, or dams on rivers preventing silt from replenishing coastal sand, or jetties preventing that sand from being spread along the coast away from rivermouths. In north county San Diego there's been a constant problem with bluff collapses exacerbated by wealthy development. A bluff collapse last year killed 3 people on the beach very close to a spot where a luxury hotel was doing heavy excavation/construction on the bluff. Just a few weeks ago a popular surf spot had a bluff collapse, rendering the public beach access trail inaccessible. Rich people who live in the area fought for years to stop a city plan to put more sturdy wooden staircase access in, because it would have reduced the number of parking spots. So now instead that beach will be closed all summer. Cities around here spend millions dredging sand from local harbors & waterways to deposit on local beaches each summer after winter storms drag it all back out to sea.

Hawaii, Maui is a test case of this. Hawaii for 1000's of years had some of the best beaches in the world, dumbass developers came in, created private beaches with seawalls etc to section off parts of it for exclusive resorts, and now Hawaii has to import some sickening amount of sand every year from Australia, otherwise the beach will erode to nothing. Of course the democrats of the state blame climate change (which obviously is real, but isn't the primary cuase of the erosion), it's the lovely shore-line management that has been enabled by wanton policies to allow Hilton et al to build on the beach, instead of offset sufficiently to prevent shore errosion. https://www.hawaii.edu/news/2018/12/10/failure-to-protect-beaches-rising-sea-level/ ate shit on live tv has issued a correction as of 03:11 on May 11, 2022 |

people are just stupid about water in general. i live in the ohio valley and there was a story a few years ago of a guy building a normal house in the bottoms, where all the other houses sit on stilts due to the river flooding every spring. Insurance companies refused to insure it because he built in a flood zone but he's A Brave American Who Doesn't Listen To "Reason" and then his house was destroyed in a flood and he bitched that no one warned him.

Reminds me of the Terra Nativa development in Boise. The city told them they were building on an unstable base. The rich fuckers went and found themselves an engineer who'd say differently and built anyway to predictable results. then they sued the city for letting them rely on their lovely report.

it’s wild that a not-insignificant percent of the population has lived on a college campus: which is a great example of pedestrian oriented urban design… and yet many people still hate anything denser than Detached single family homes

H.P. Hovercraft posted:college campuses have walkable urban design with plenty of public social space and non-car-based transit available yeah I used to live right off campus, so I could walk to class and a couple of the bars. I'd regularly see people I had classes with and talk with them over a few drinks. There's nothing like that here in the suburbs.

When the wife and I purchased our house it was literally a long drawn out conversation about how we can never, ever move because of the potential of a massive housing crash. Like we're obviously not going to lose our jobs as ICU nurses but the idea of moving and trying to sell a property in a recession is laughable. We even didn't get into a bidding war with the house and paid asking price. Thankfully there's good biking trails around where I live so I'll be content until I have a psychotic break at my job.

Is this the thread to post in if I am in the final stages of buying a house after 10 months of looking / fighting dozens of offers on every loving property we look at and to be pushed two cities further from work due to rising costs and shrinking inventory and though all media tells me I should be high fiving my wife in slow-mo while we pick plants for the front yard I instead feel all-encompassing dread mixed a seething desire for this whole awful process to just be finished?
