Nothing lasts forever

  1. This place had been tenuous for years, having had considerable bluff slippage in prior rainy years. It is obviously red tagged now.
    Thanks Coastal Commission for abandoning the home owners.

    1. I'm sorry, did I miss where us tax payers are to fix someone's house and land?

    2. That's called erosion. You live on the bluffs, you take your chances....

    3. When people f—k with nature it usually turns out bad. The bluffs have eroded inland for a long time. The shore was once out past Catalina, 28 miles west of the current coastline. Offshore canyons continue the erosive transport of sand offshore and deepen the water to hundreds of feet deep. There is no ugly concrete wall that wouldn’t get undermined, but it would probably eliminate the beaches.

      Science tells us the rate of bluff retreat is accelerating and will double over the next century as sea levels rise and the intensity and frequency of storms drives wave action at the toe of the bluffs.

    4. Yes, you missed the bit where the homeowners were prevented from even so much as planting protective vegetation- at their own expense.

    5. That’s so unfair. Why were other bluff homes N. of Moonlight beach allowed to build walls, etc, and this home wasn’t allowed to even put in so much as vegetation to help stabilize and keep the cliff from eroding?

    6. Once a house is red tagged, the water meter is shut and plants aren’t going to help.

      Delete
    7. You know that plants would have helped had the homeowner been able to install years before red tagging. Come on now.

    8. It only helps so much....

    9. Not necessarily. The bluff may have cracked an failed deeper than the couple of feet where roots penetrate. Also, what evidence is there the owners were denied plants far enough in the past that it would have mattered?

    10. That is the coastal commission's current position on all and any improvements a homeowner wishes to make. Ask Surfrider extremists about the pressure they exert to prevent homeowners from lifting a finger.

    11. Bluffs erode an average of 10cm per year. This place was doomed decades ago.

    12. Armchair expert pretending to know the details.

    13. If sand migration from rivers was not diminished by sand mining, bluffs would stand a better chance. Beaches would be wider to lessen wave action erosion.

  2. Looks like affordable housing.

  3. Surfriders is a sad joke.

    They took no position on NCTD’s horrific plan on contracting a seawall along 30% of Del Mar beach or with the Tony’s shitty fence that block coastal access for Encinitas and Del Mar. These actions crushed pedestrian historic pathways and the ability for families to walk to the stores for fresh produce and beach for healthy activities.

    All these actions were lead by none other than Tony Kranz when he was Chair of NCTD. That’s right and all for a Coaster polluting diesel train with a pathetic ridership below a one thousand passengers a day or less that 1% of the north county. Boooooooooo!

    Recall Kranz now!!!

  4. Just NOW ..Coast Flight Training International out of Montgomery Field...again.
    27 Times back and forth over Encinitas homes, eroding cliffs, schools and hospitals. They have been contacted and it wasn't pleasant from our end. They have been warned. Now you can enjoy the leaded exhaust fumes coming down on your kids. And maybe one day, a plane won't go down on your family but don't hold your breath. 1000 go down every year per the FAA across the u.s.

    1. So you are failing.

      Shocker.

    2. Hardly. "We" are not failing. In fact a little chat with Montgomery Field officials an hour ago. And, it appears you are one of those airplane people. You, can make any attempt to discredit us all you want. Good luck as others on here have tried...and failed.
      Once again genius. Our group couldn't care less if planes fly out and back, to and from a destination.
      Encinitas "will not be the destination" from an airport 17 miles away for flight schools making money flying in circles and patterns over 10's of thousands, hospitals, schools and even the Sheriffs Department.

    3. Flight 1200 (hidden intel of tail number from tower) leaving Montgomery Field at 10:23a.m today.
      Flying 31 times back and forth over Encinitas and Rancho Santa Fe. 31 times !!!
      Don't think these clowns in these private planes aren't dangerous? It's going to take a little bit but we are going to fix this, one way or another.

      30 times over Encinitas. Back and forth.

      That school makes money while placing the citizens in danger. Tic Toc

    6. Sorbi aviation...19 times back and forth over Encinitas and Solana Beach. They make money while putting our families at risk to include leaded fuel exhaust.

    7. And the true nature of 1:47 comes out. Talk like that to your mother?

    8. 6:18, you should hear how your mother was talking to me last night.

      Make a sailor blush.

  5. The student plane flew into the house on the cliff? Is the burnt out relic on Neptune next?

    Just think, the house in the picture wasn't even cliffside at one point. What happened to the Evan's Motel in Cardiff?

    Dang water levels been changin fer too long. We must do something. Where's King Canute when you need him...

  7. Plane/train guy, I can't tell the difference, when and if the day comes that practice flights stop over our town, you will be our hero. You will be our savior from our residents being exposed to the flight training airplanes exhaust. That will need to be quantifiable, but you can do it. You are the exhaust expert.

    Hmmm? Exhaust expert? There are a couple of ways that could be taken for levities sake, if you have a sense of humor left.

    I will be the first to stand up and cheer when your day of glory comes before our city council and your get the recognition you so richly deserve, when the day comes and the training flights are history over our town.

    2. 3:15- you can’t tell the difference because you’re a freaking idiot.

      There’s a very apparent difference.

    3. Trust me, I'm much cleverer than train guy.
      What I have found is, the clown acts that support private planes from the schools at Montgomery Field flying over and over tens of thousands, don't live in Encinitas/Solana Beach/Rancho Santa Fe.
      The mollusk minded are attempting to shut our group down. Good luck with that. Tic Toc

    4. And 4:16....you don't live in Encinitas.

    5. I just talked to a representative from the FAA. He tried to compare flying in circles/back and forth over Encinitas is much safer than driving on the freeway. This, is how they think. I choose to drive on the freeway. I don't choose to have these private planes flying over and over my house. While the make money placing my family at risk. Then I brought up these schools flying over and over Scripps Hospital. The guy stated "is the word Hospital" painted on the roof?
      If not, it doesn't count.
      These plane people are plain nuts and, in boxing terms, I have these schools on the ropes.
      Mess with us, it will be 10 times worse for them as we plaster the school names all over the internet.

  9. Oh no, Catherine's excited! She says so in every newsletter and now "I love it when the state tells us what to do" Blakespear is also "thrilled" to be sitting on a housing committee. Not to worry CB, good little foot soldiers Hinze, Lyndes, Blackwell, and Kranz are on standby to carry out orders. Weeee-ha!!! Exciting and thrilling times.

    1. Blakespear is now in a position to serve the developers' interests even more so. She is the female Benedict Arnold of Encinitas.

  10. Just received her virtual birdcage liner and read "I was thrilled to be chosen to sit on the committees that I requested, namely housing, transportation and governance and finance." Remember what she sez about finance stuff: https://encinitasundercover.blogspot.com/2019/01/this-must-be-one-of-those-negative_5.html. She thinks a pension obligation is like a mortgage, eventually paid off in full. :(

    1. Blakespear is the developers' Trojan Horse. She will increase taxes, overrule local control and allow the community to become a density quagmire. This is what you voted for . . .

    2. Catherine "I love it when the state tells us what to do" Blakespear is now engaged in writing housing and transportation law in Sacramento.
