Debris tumbles onto Auckland beach from construction site as cliff edge erodes:
Seaside locals continue to see debris falling beneath two houses sitting precariously on the edge of an eroding cliff face on Auckland's North Shore.
Stuff - Environment: 14-July-2020
It would seem that the drive for clifftop perches that afford great views (and status?!?) ignores the threats posed by "Mother Nature", climate change, and gravity....
(I was also amused by the comment that "properties have been enlarged so that the distance to the cliff edge has reduced through time". Presumably by "properties" the writer meant "buildings" - unless in Auckland there is some way that land boundaries (=property) can be expanded by the effluxion of time....
