San Antonio Landslide?

A hill in a San Antonio neighborhood fell down a bit. This is only a problem because there were houses on it, and houses below it. Initial investigations can't find a permit for a tall, steep retaining wall holding back a pile of shifty clay.

Nice.

Several years ago, I heard a quote from someone from somewhere in South America (sorry to be so specific as to the source). They said that, where they came from, only the poor people lived on hillsides. The people in San Antonio paid a $10,000 premium for their elevated lots.
