Better question: When it crumbles into rubble, are the rich fucks that own it going to clean that shit up, or will that fall on the public's shoulders?

Obviously that’s going to be the latter option.
Dumb rich people doing dumb rich people shit.
You’d think they’d be rich enough to build a concrete retaining wall.
Its original owners, Mark and Barbara Blasch, sought permission from the commission in 2018 to build a 241-foot-wide seawall to stave off erosion. The commission’s seven members — all volunteers — rejected the seawall on the grounds that it might have unintended effects on the beach and the way water carries nutrients in the bay. They also questioned whether it would actually save the house.
Sounds like they tried and were denied approval. A collapsing house is probably going to have unintended effects on the beach too
Problem was the house was built in 2010. Why did they wait 8 years to ask to build a seawall?
I'd also be very interested to know who in the fuck approved this house to be built on a hill of sand in the first place?
I'm nonfan of rich people, but this is an unfortunate case of fucked if they do, fucked if they don't (they'll probably be given the bill for the cleanup).
The environment is fucked enough. Let's not start pouring concrete in another fragile ecosystem.
About the only good advice in the Bible. Don't build on sand!
They built that house on the rock of their faith that climate change was fake news.
