Land building is a natural geologic process, although to those 700-800 people who have watched their homes disappear under millions of tons of new mafic and basaltic rock from the mantle, they might think it's highly unusual.
I've
been watching from the sidelines the comments from people who live in Hawaii who are quite close to this devastation.
I'm very empathetic to their suffering, but I'm not too sympathetic. Blame my college professors.
I've read hundreds of comments from many who have lost their homes and possessions. If you asked me to combine their emotions into one question it would
be:
"Why didn't someone TELL ME it was dangerous to buy a lot here?"
Guess what?
It's your job to look out for yourself. It's your job to ensure the SAFETY of yourself, your family, and your treasures.
Don't lay the responsibility at someone
else's feet.
There's danger lurking on many building lots. A building lot for sale you might think is perfectly fine, may be a ticking time bomb.
A prime example of this is the lot my two friends Audri and Jim bought in Boone, NC over a decade ago. To them, it seemed just fine. Sure it was a little steep, but they could carve out a nice flat spot to
build.
NOTE: This is NOT the column I'm writing about the tragedy that will appear in newspapers all across the USA. That column is still in the works.
You should read the following column and SHARE IT with anyone you know that's thinking of buying land and building a new home.
