Despite a recent landslide that left his cliffside mansion dangerously close to going over the edge itself, Lewis Bruggeman has no intention of leaving his home, claiming that it's 'not threatened.'

In California, an 82-year-old doctor named Lewis Bruggeman drew attention when he chose to stay in his $16 million mansion, perched precariously close to an eroding cliff during recent storms.

Despite concerns about the stability of his lavish home, Bruggeman remained steadfast.


Facing the potential threat of oceanfront property issues, the determined homeowner insisted:

"The house is fine, it's not threatened, and it will not be red-tagged. The city agreed that there was no major structural issue with the house."

Bruggeman's resolute stance has become a topic of discussion, capturing the interest of neighbors and the media.

The National Weather Service has predicted more rain for the Los Angeles area, with warnings about possible mudslides adding an extra layer of concern to Bruggeman's cliffside situation.

Others commented on the specifics of the geology at hand.


The consensus seemed to be incredulity at this man's decision.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.
