Check out this exercise in futility from Nantucket. There's probably a billion bucks worth of real estate and structures thereupon, waiting to fall into the sea, despite whatever they're doing down below. Because, well, nor'easters and hurricanes are never accompanied by torrential rains that cause erosion from above.

Projo did a story about the reconstruction in today's paper. CRMC says everything is legit. They (CRMC) mention the existing seawall as being public. Does anyone know who originally built that seawall? More importantly were any federal funds used to build that seawall? If so I think that the public will retain access to the wall.

I saw several houses slide down the bluff during my 20+ years in Montauk. |

We have several ready slide down the cliffs in south Plymouth. From the beach, you can look up and see floor joists. The decks and footings have long ago made the journey down the cliff and have been washed away.
I'm told that if you don't tear them down when they've been condemned, you own the clean up costs to remove it if it falls down the cliff. |
