Yes! The road had a number of "dip-de-doos" in it and construction equipment alongside...it's clear that they have some major rebuilding to do to stabalize the area. What a nice place to live!
Unfortunately, that area is a goner. Has been slipping for so many years. The street has to be repaired and repaved every couple of months. According to the link below, it has slid 600 feet since 1956. We have had many friends that have lived there. One friend has to "jack up" part of his house. Another - you have to walk up a steep hill inside the house to get from one room to another. I think I even heard they stopped with all property taxes for anyone in that area because of the problem. Attached is a link to that area. Pretty interesting stuff.
Luckily the rest of the area is gorgeous :wink:
