What a perfect microcosm story for why we're completely screwed by climate collapse. People would complain about how heavy handed the symbolism is if this was in a movie

If it collapses and he survives, it'll be blamed on communist earthbenders. No introspection whatsoever. The commies sabotaged his perfectly safe mansion

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 64 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Damn if I was 82 and had a giant beachside mansion I would stay in it too. Great way to go out, ride that sucker into hell.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Probably same. I'd be too old to move to another house. Fuck that.

Oh no. Anyway

Wealthy old man biding his time while a landslide undercuts his support. Very uncommitted to doing anything about it. Where have I seen this before?

I've got a sneaking suspicion that they have somehow jacked up their insurance policy on the house and everything in it (or that they claim is in it) and are just going to use this as an excuse to rake it in on a property that's been doomed for some time now.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago

how-much-could-it-cost imagine paying 16 million for a compound falling down a cliff side, lol, lmao

[-] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago

Motherfuckers like this are ruining coasts across the country. Well, really its land/real estate developers but its a huge issue in the Great Lakes area too where basically every inch of land near a coastline is snapped up and clear cut for mcmansion building, which destroys the trees and vegetation that held these cliffs together.

Seen dozens of houses slide down cliffs and i would cheer if not for the environmental destruction they caused in the first place sicko-wistful

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

When I am in charge all bodies of water will be surrounded by an appropriate amount of park space before anyone can build anything that isn't a shipping port or yknow, stuff to do with boats. You shouldn't be able to effectively privatize a lake or because now the only way to access it is by trespassing.

Isn’t there a parable about a house built on sand? I wonder if that would be relevant.

California solidarity Florida

Otherwise being really good states that are unfortunately wasted on the wealthy.

[-] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

California has incredible climate and geography, but Florida? It's a flat swamp with hellacious heat and humidity.

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

But Everglades and Manatees, and you could make a case Miami is Caribbean-adjacent.

I take comfort in the fact that quite many of these holders of capital seem to be pretty simple.

He’s probably right. We should convince him to stay considering this is the case!

[-] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Maybe he should call some of his rich friends over for a party!

This kind of thing makes me feel like maybe sometimes not having single payer health care is ok

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

If I was in my 80s and someone said "move house or you might die", I'd seriously consider just rolling the dice on death.

Moving sucks so God damn much.

He's 82, Darvin is about 30 years late either way.
