California Rt.1 is built on some of the most unstable ground on this continent. In some places it is less costly to repair the road than stabilize the mountain. Most people think the spectuclar scenery makes the cost worthwhile.

Oh well. Too bad. You want to live in a beautiful area with great weather but also great dangers, you can pay the costs yourselves.
