We were in California earlier this year and caught a glimpse of this “phenomenon”: buildings built at the top of a shear cliff of DIRT. This particular building is no more than 10 feet from a 25 foot drop off made of nothing but soil. No rocks, no clay, no reinforcement of any kind. I have no idea what keeps this from just dissolving and washing away when it rains. The one thing I am certain of is that the people who live in that house will be shocked, SHOCKED, when it does happen.
