yeah man, well living in cali doesn't suck... The place where that happened, if you've ever been there; the hills are made of nothing but sand and a small bit of dirt... My professor has one of his homes up in Laguna and believe me, its BEAUTIFUL up there, nothing but million dollar homes and above; well, some million dollar homes also went down so that sucks bc insurance doesn't cover that. Anyway, the view is incredible, from up there; except now... anyway, developers buy and build even if they know the land is not stable. We in L.A. have many places, close to the beach that are not stable... Palos Verdes is moving I dunno how many inches per year... However, if you go to big bear, dude, its nice up there... plus those mountains have rocks to make them stronger mountains than those in coastal towns.
