California Mansions Teeter on Edge After Cliffside Collapse

A landslide in Dana Point has left a mansion teetering on the edge of a weakened cliff, prompting concerns about building homes on bluffs due to increasing rainfall and sea level rise. Officials have assessed the area and stated there is no imminent threat to the home, but the California Coastal Commission's executive director warns that coastal cliffs are becoming more destabilized, making it unsafe to build homes in such locations. The owner of the mansion is seeking their own assessment, and there is a growing effort to pull back developments from cliff edges.
