Laurie Perez reports from Rancho Palos Verdes, where more than 100 homes are having their natural gas service indefinitely shut off on Monday after the company said there was too much potential risk being posed to the public because of the constant land movement in the area.

    Why are you blaming the gas company? When there is a landslide the land moves but the gas pipes can't move so they break. In case you were not aware, leaking gas explodes.
  • So, if the neighbor hood blows up. Then what? Still gonna blame somebody. You people need to take your loss and get out of there. You have known for 30 plus years that road below you was moving daily.

    48hrs is generous considering the situation. They need to move this neighborhood is falling apart.
  • @Silver_Miner
    If it wasn't an affluent neighborhood it would have been shut off months ago, and it should have been. Guess they'll have to buy an electric stove.
  • This is like your Telsa is teetering off a cliff about to fall into a very deep ravine and you are more upset that Telsa won't allow you to finish using their Supercharger to charge your car before it falls.

    1:46 I was up there in 1981 with a contractor and we were shutting off the gas, they were going to run the gas main above ground. So yeah this is nothing new.

    In California they build in unstable dangerous ares, they know will eventually disenigrate.
  • @JoseFloresEC
    And i bet the rest of the county/gas users from not palos verdes are subsidizing the high maintenance cost for the relatively few people that live their.

    California officials should have known this was coming for years! We have to elect some people that will put some competent professionals in charge of the departments necessary to "run" this state. Hopefully not into the ocean. And this is in a wealthy neighborhood. What's getting overlooked everywhere else...?

    I wish Laurie Perez could report more often than just nights and weekends. She is a role model for other journalists.
  • @MrYfrank14
    Why is CA the only place where the residents complain about natural disasters and expect somebody to stop an earthquake, landslide or wildfire? They complain on the news that they want more notice and the city to do something and sue, while the neighbors's house flies by during a landslide. If the moutain behind my house started sliding towards me, I would move. Every year the same guy's house burns down during a wildfire and every year he rebuilds it. Why not move out if the fire zone?
  • @ReeferMadman
    I love it when they use that term, voluntary compliance.

    Shutting off the gas threatens the health of elderly residents. And landslides and gas leaks from broken pipes do not threaten the health of elderly residents?

    Someone needs to Investigate and charge the Civil Engineers and Builders for creating this Land Development in this UNSTABLE landscaped area.
