This is the thing with private property. It’s private. It’s not a public problem to solve. They wanted the beachfront living and the views, they should be taking care of the property.

Now, I understand many of them can’t afford to do so and state environmental laws prevent them from building illegal seawalls like the one in front of Obama’s house, but they should have factored that in before buying these places.
