    Pacifica Coastal Erosion 7-15-17
    Parts of the Bay Area, officials have already retreated from some parts of the coast, removing homes from cliffs that have eroded and areas that have flooded. San Francisco is taking steps to move the Great Highway away from Ocean Beach because erosion is eating away the earth beneath it. Houses and apartments in Pacifica, south of the city, were declared uninhabitable as cliffs that supported them gave way to erosion.

When the bought property vanishes into the blue, the small print or legal clause absolving them of any wrong will be waved in court and of course the palace or gold will also disappear into the deep... their very deep pockets. The banksters and land sellers will solace the distraught buyer, saying... "Well, now you do really have land right on the beach"!!!

    My previous home town, 30 years, better known as Pacifica, California, 12 miles south of San Francisco on the San Mateo county coast line. It is also known affectionately as " P-Town" by locals for the fact that the town has it's "issues" and steps on it's own feet constantly. The beauty is pretty dynamic for a cool weather, central California town of 44,000 and the problems with this Esplanade has nothing to do with riding seas, global climate change, nor El Nin~o rain years, maybe every 5-7 years. It does however have everything to do with a San Andreas fault line running directly underneath it and offshore, the geological makeup of the compressed sand beach cliffs, the lack of rocky topsoil, and the boondoggle of letting any contractor build any structures within a quarter mile of these sandstone cliffs. That get soggy with winter rains, wind erosion, sand dredging along the coastline ( causing higher high tides, bay dredging, harbor dredging) and lack of common sense. Meanwhile, enjoy the view of the small city that lost it's way...I used to fish for striped bass along these shores....

      No, not really. The erosion at the base of the bluff would have been dropping trees into the water instead of sidewalks and bits of buildings. It's a natural ongoing process - no coastline is fixed or stable - the all degenerate at varying rates. I reviewed aerial photos of this area going back to before WWII and surveys and maps from before that - the progress of the erosion has been pretty stead since it was first recorded.

      Each soil type has a natural "angle of repose". If you really want the soil to stop eroding, you will have to cover the soil with concrete on that natural angle. The concrete will have to slope down to ocean level, then straight down with a secant wall. Ugly as sin, but it could be maintained indefinitely.

      Natural sources of beach sand, including rivers and eroding cliffs, have been suppressed by human-built dams and protective coverings. Vitousek served as lead author of a March 2017 modeling analysis from the U.S. Geological Survey that concluded if no measures are taken, up to 67 percent of California's beaches could be completely eroded back to sea cliffs or coastal infrastructure by 2100. Add climate change , sea level has risen by about 8 inches (20 centimeters) since 1900, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and could rise 3 to 5 feet (0.9 to 1.5 meters) higher by the end of this century

      One must wonder... if you need to make up fake arguments just to win them... will you ever actually win anything?
      Climate change is real and is caused by human actions.
      Coastal erosion has (as you pointed out) always happened.
      Coastal erosion has always been a function of the intensity of sea states and storm swells.
      Climate change IS ALREADY increasing the intensity of sea states and storm swells in the Pacific.

    About 2:20 into the video, the drone flies past the long gray house (home?) that appears to be attached to a large commercial building. It looks like a very recent construction. That means the land extended farther out then it looks now. The builder probably though the land would be there for quite a while longer, but no, erosion took the land and took it fast. I would venture a guess that the land under the building will be gone within five years. Even the big rocks are not going to be able to stop the erosion that is being relentlessly done from both above and below. The soil appears to be sand and not dirt and is more easily eroded away. This area is going to be in more dire straits if it rains much and often.
    State and local land management need to strengthen building foundation codes and set standards that keep buildings far enough away from cliff edges that are prone to massive erosion.

    When u see the gray globs on the beach is oil that the tanker spilled in the ocean in the 70s. Back then the beach was about 20 feet out sand like sugar. If u had crusty feet walk in the sand and your feet smooth in half hour. No more. Once the spill the ocean started to stink the sand became quicksand and the oceans starting to rise. Now the cliffs are gone they were solid. U could have lunch on the cliff watching hang gliders go by. Now it just breaks my 💓.

    while the black sand along the beach is common for gold. left behind as the softer sand and silt is pulled out to sea by wave action an tidal pull. leaving gold behind in the black sands aka iron oxide. ore. an other minerals. such as copper an gemstones washed down. as it rains.

This notion that somehow man is to blame is simply not entirely true. Sure, where land has been bulldozed along the coast, that is a factor but regardless of whether a bulldozer excavated the land or not, erosion would still occur. Anyone who does the research knows this and wouldn't be so ignorant as some who comment on youtube.

Mat 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: Mat 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. Mat 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: Mat 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Mat 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: Mat 7:29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
