1. Oh shucks batman 😁

2. they should have hired that Geologist prior to building those houses. they could afford it.

3. So its not just a clever name….

4. I wonder whether the name Rolling Hills Estates is giving away what the developers thought it would or could happen maybe? : Estates would be literarily Rolling down the Hills.
   Another thing to consider when buying a house before signing for anything.

5. Why do people keep buying/building homes in the California hills? This has been going on for years!

6. ByeBye California

7. There's a secret in the name of the Estates, no-one sees it coming.

8. If I lived in one of those homes, I would be banding together with others and hiring an environmental lawyer or civil engineer. By the way, who else thinks it odd that the news station doesn't name the city in which this subdivision is located?

9. Good luck trying to buy something in or around that neighborhood with the insurance money in today's economy.

10. 0:16 red dress – sign of communism like the red baseball hat for middle class dupes

11. They can move, they have insurance, those are multi-million dollar homes!

12. Rolling Hills – I think that might have been an unfortunate predictive name……

13. Hey chumps ; don’t build houses on the side of a canyon .

14. Well , they are called the 'rolling hills' yet you still built

15. Over the years I've seen home developments where ravines, trash dumps, or sm canyons were simply filled in with dirt and top soils, then homes were built. I'm wondering what might have been the original geological conditions here? In the 1989 San Francisco quake a lot of severe destruction happened to apartments/homes built on man-made soil foundations.

16. The other homes left in the area value has plummeted.

17. Rolling Hills rolling…

18. Having a house on a hill never attracts me. The roads are too small and everybody there wants to owned a huge vehicle with big wheels. Parking on a slope is risky and you can't see anything on the other side of the slope. Reception is pretty bad too. And people wants to drive fast.

19. Not called “Rolling Hills” for nothing.

20. Those are civilized people and should be treated as such .This should be seen as an state emergency. Those people need help.

21. I mean….the area is called Rolling Hills after all.

22. It's called Rolling Hills for a reason.

23. That’s the price you pay for that view and environment. Most of them are pretty wealthy. Theyll be okay

24. Multi-Millionaires receiving hotel vouchers LMAO
    This is just as bad as illegal aliens receiving free hotels while the taxpayers flip the bill.

    California politicians are treasonous scum.

25. I just saw on Redfin, one of the houses that is collapsing has new owner(s).

    They just bought it on April this year for $1.4 something M.

    That’s a great lost.

26. The AlmightyGods said what made it occur building houses on the hill

27. I wonder how many insurance companies will move out of California now.

28. I Feel Sorry 4 The Canyons 🏰🕌🕍

29. Building on easements,–rollong hills???

30. That's not a natural disaster, that's bulldozing dirt into a canyon to level the land to build a housing development, then building houses on dirt bulldozed into the canyon right up to the edge, wake up asshats, don't buy homes built on fill dirt on the edge of a canyon🤦‍♂️

31. Voucher? These people don't need no stinking Voucher

32. A professional expert who went to school for geology made this all happen, and they dead so you can point fingers at wrong people. LOL science

33. Should have a Geologist out there within 3 hours. Dnc Economics. How many days later?😢😢😢😢😢

34. the city has to pay each home the market value and moving costs and storage costs and replace any items damaged or lost . Approx. 151 million dollars

35. They built on a hillside and felt safe because the homes were not near the ocean.

36. Any homes surrounding the one's that have collapsed, may not withstand another season of rain. Good luck trying to see them, or rebuild. And insurance, I can't imagine many of those policies will be renewed.

37. Very surprised an complacent = Humans.. ? 😏

38. It’s called Rolling Hills. "ROLLING"! As in rolling… 🙄

39. It should be a refund of almost every thing and more to the homeowners , its not the home owners fault by any means .

40. I don’t blame the mayor for not knowing the ins and outs of the geology up there. But somebody in the planning department had to know. I can't understand why an engineer didn't look twice at these plans. This is going to happen again. Lots of houses out there are built on top of the same soils. I think the city has completely dropped the ball by rubber stamping all of these plans. Its gonna be hard to fix this.
