Talked to a guy there who told me about some millionaire wanted to build a house by the cliff, the city rejected his plans telling him the land was unstable, and it was too risky to build there. So, of course, the guy sued the city, the city gave in and gave him his permits. A couple years later the land started to slide, his house was lost. So what did he do? Sued the city for granting him the permits to build there. Of course.

No wonder it’s called “Rolling Hills” something more than meets the eye is going on there.

The horrific irony of being in "rolling hills" estates and suffering this

Oh, this is bad for the homeowner. This is "land movement", and like earthquakes will not be covered under the standard homeowner policy. Coverage for this would have fallen under an explicit "earth movement" policy, which few even know about and nobody has. For those in CA, read your coverage. By the way, note that the city guy in the hard hat even said, "... this is caused by land movement". That sure doesn't help. This will come up in the inevitable lawsuit, which the homeowner will probably lose. Lastly, the city official telling the guy, "we've got you." Right... I think temporary housing vouchers is going to be the extent of that.

Rolling Hills lives up to it's name.

This is what happens when builders construct homes in areas known to be unstable and/or prone to landslide, earthquake, fires, flooding, tornado, hurricane etc... It might not happen today or tomorrow, but the clock is always ticking.

This is a known slide area. The developer should have never been granted permits to build. The homeowners... if you are smart enough to have a million plus to spend on a home you should be smart enough do some research.

Wonder who was supposed to test the ground they were built on?

That guy only moved in two months ago, to what he thought would be their forever home and now this. AND the insurance may not cover their loss??!! Horrifying.

….Rolling Hill’s, really? That’s what it’s called? I wonder why. Looks like no basements were had, just slabs. Slabs are not a proper foundation. When a cellar is constructed, it’s first excavated, then deep footings with re-bar and concrete are poured. By digging out these basements, it created a terraced hillside. The house are built upon these deep footings and the basement walls acting as stakes in the ground….ie, footings crabbing hold of the Earth. These houses were builded on a slab. Slabs end up being snow boards in an avalanche of sliding heavy dirt. Had all of these houses had basements and 4’ footings as I described above, this would not have happened, and if it did, many of those houses would’ve remained in place. I hope they were all insured.

I'm so sorry. I do hope the county supports these families fully.

You can probably buy one of these houses cheap, better hurry before they're gone.

Good old insurance companies, always there when you don't need them. Instead of two hands they give you the middle finger.

The irony of these homes sliding in a place called “Rolling Hills”.

California, you had fires, you had snow , you had rain, you had earthquakes… no wonder home insurance prices are skyrocketing over there.

It happens on any slope when you disturb the ground and then build a heavy structure on the edge. It is not if, but when will it fall

insurance companies are like casinos... the house always wins !

Insurance companies being like good thing we didn’t had this kind of damages on the contacts 😈😈😈 looking forward on sending you the next bill....always good doing business with you I mean the neighborhood.
