Homeowners, developers, and municipal authorities engage in a thorough assessment of the affected properties, weighing options for stabilization and mitigation to ensure the safety and integrity of the structures.
The precarious situation facing these mansions serves as a sobering reminder of the inherent risks associated with coastal living.
