HOA Forced Me to Cut My Trees — 5 Days Later 3 Homes Collapsed in a Landslide

When a homeowners association required the removal of 23 mature trees stabilizing a 23-degree clay hillside, two formal professional reports warned that doing so would significantly increase the risk of slope failure during heavy rainfall. The board proceeded anyway. Five days later, an atmospheric river brought over eight inches of rain in less than 24 hours. The exposed slope failed, resulting in structural damage to three homes, widespread property loss, and nearly $900,000 in combined remediation and repair costs. Insurance coverage was denied due to documented warnings and prior expert assessments. This video examines the consequences of disregarding geotechnical risk analysis, the legal and financial exposure that can result from negligent decision-making, and the importance of understanding the structural role vegetation plays in slope stability. This is not a story about retaliation. It is a case study in accountability, risk management, and the physical realities of gravity and soil mechanics.
