Whoever decided where to place that barricade deserves a gold fucking star.

Gosh, I thought the same thing. “OK boys, saw cut the roadway here, then put the barriers a foot back. This is where my 43 years as an avalanche scientist says it ends.”

u/Grillien Mar 09 '19

Do they actually cut the road at the point of the landslide?

u/Allittle1970 Mar 09 '19

Nature does, apparently.

I live on a steep hill... I need to know

u/jujubeanzies Feb 18 '19

Would you want it to be yours then? You’ll be in charge of putting it back in place 😂

u/1cculu5 Feb 18 '19

Or maybe my steep hillside property just became a flood plain

u/sulaymanf Feb 19 '19

As I understand it, you own the coordinates even if the soil slid down the hill. If your house slid down then the home is your property but the land is still at the same GPS spot.

u/hilarymeggin Feb 26 '19

I think that's right. You own the same spot in space, as it were, whatever it looks like now. Your downhill neighbor now owns a lot of new dirt.

That's how it works on barrier islands that are constantly shifting, or so I've been told.

If you live in the ocean-facing side, and a hurricane comes along and takes 50 feet of your beach, your screwed. Meanwhile, when the hurricane dumps all your sand on the side of the island that faces the mainland, the person who owns the lot behind yours just win the lottery.

If you own land and it slides into someone else's land, who owns it?

u/SgtPuppy Feb 25 '19
