Gas company gives Rancho Palos Verdes residents 48 hour notice before shutting off their service

Why are you blaming the gas company? When there is a landslide the land moves but the gas pipes can't move so they break. In case you were not aware, leaking gas explodes.

So, if the neighbor hood blows up. Then what? Still gonna blame somebody. You people need to take your loss and get out of there. You have known for 30 plus years that road below you was moving daily.

48hrs is generous considering the situation. They need to move this neighborhood is falling apart.

If it wasn't an affluent neighborhood it would have been shut off months ago, and it should have been. Guess they'll have to buy an electric stove.

This is like your Telsa is teetering off a cliff about to fall into a very deep ravine and you are more upset that Telsa won't allow you to finish using their Supercharger to charge your car before it falls.

Why is CA the only place where the residents complain about natural disasters and expect somebody to stop an earthquake, landslide or wildfire? They complain on the news that they want more notice and the city to do something and sue, while the neighbors's house flies by during a landslide. If the moutain behind my house started sliding towards me, I would move. Every year the same guy's house burns down during a wildfire and every year he rebuilds it. Why not move out if the fire zone?

1:46 I was up there in 1981 with a contractor and we were shutting off the gas, they were going to run the gas main above ground. So yeah this is nothing new.

How could you not be in favor of preventing a gas explosion?

I wish Laurie Perez could report more often than just nights and weekends. She is a role model for other journalists.

Look at those streets! Absolutely shut off gas and electricity, then get outta there. That place is done for.

I can remember as far back as the 70's this area having problems and people still built and bought homes there, it's not like they didn't know.

In California they build in unstable dangerous ares, they know will eventually disenigrate.

California officials should have known this was coming for years! We have to elect some people that will put some competent professionals in charge of the departments necessary to "run" this state. Hopefully not into the ocean. And this is in a wealthy neighborhood. What's getting overlooked everywhere else...?

Mr Leon needs to get re educated

And i bet the rest of the county/gas users from not palos verdes are subsidizing the high maintenance cost for the relatively few people that live their.

Oh no! The poor rich people at Green Sticks Ranch! The horror!

I will agree with most of the comments on here. I am a service technician for a propane company. Safety will always override the inconvenience of the situation.

Can the homeowners rent above ground tanks, tap into the supply line after the meter. Maybe SoCal Gas could be "persuaded" to take the responsibility for refilling them until this nightmare is over?

the ppl of that area need to get out as it is unsafe

Let's analyze the situation. Developers build in the area knowing the land will move. It's California. People buy in the area knowing that the land moves. It's California. People don't want the gas shut off because they can't cook or heat their homes. If it becomes a health issue, they'll sue the gas company. The land moves (it's Californa) and causes a gas leak which leads to an explosion which, in turn, causes people to lose their homes and possibly a life or two. So they sue the gas company for not turning off the gas. Damned if the gas company does, damned if the gas company doesn't.
