Slip Away

The news is not good for the homeowners in Mt. Soledad. Recent rains caused even more damage to the soil in the already environmentally unsound area.  Geologists have noted additional movement on the hillside where houses have already been condemned due to the sinkhole/slide of early October.

To prevent a complete disaster, the City Council approved $20 million for emergency repairs.  Patti Boekamp, city engineering and capital projects director, says:  ”We’re racing against the clock, we’re racing against the weather, and we’re working between rain spells.”

In other words:  more trouble ahead.
