Demi Lovato has her house red tagged after a landslide in Hollywood<\/h5>\n

Demi Lovato is, according to Wikipedia<\/a>, an American singer, song writer and actress.\u00a0 She has recently spent $8.3 million on a rather beautiful house in the Laurel Canyon area of Hollywood Hills:-<\/p>\n

It is without doubt a beautiful property, although I am slightly surprised at house close it seems to have been built to a steep slope. On Monday night, in a rainstorm, that slope appears to have suffered a landslide that sent debris into the backyard of a house alongside that of Demi Lovato.\u00a0 The LA Times<\/a> has a photograph of the event:-<\/p>\n

This is not a large or serious landslide by any means, but it undoubtedly raises questions about that slope. \u00a0 The slope is being assessed by Building and Safety Assessors<\/a>, meanwhile a number of houses have been red tagged whilst their safety is assessed.\u00a0 The image above includes the house of Demi Lovato; it is clear from this view that a part of the house is very close to the slope, although I would stress that it is not possible to ascertain from this whether there is any danger.<\/p>\n

This appears to be the site of the landslide as shown on Google Earth:-<\/p>\n

It is interesting to note the very extensive engineering works going on nearby, presumably to protect the slope against failure (in this case the slope appears to have been cut to create a road bench). Interestingly, this appears to be the second landslide in the last month in Laurel Canyon. At the previous one, the affected property is apparently now on sale<\/a> for $200,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
