Rancho Palos Verdes Faces Ongoing Landslide Issues

In Rancho Palos Verdes, homes are increasingly at risk as a slow-moving landslide continues to threaten properties, with some homeowners expressing dissatisfaction with the available buyout program. While the community grapples with this natural disaster, plans are in motion to install 10 new dewatering wells to help mitigate the situation, funded by a $1.6 million loan that could cover up to 10 additional wells. Despite these efforts, the destruction could have been prevented, and not all residents are willing to abandon their homes as the neighborhood slowly inches closer to the ocean, with recent reports indicating a sudden increase in the speed of the landslide.
