Basically, a homeowner has been trying for 10+ YEARS to get permission to shore up the cliff that her house sits on, and the government hasn't given it to her. Now, due to the storms in California, she's begging for an emergency approval.

Folks, this is just another example of why we need LESS government regulation, not more.

Any more to that story? What has the Coastal Commission said in response for 10 years? Have they said "no" and given reasons, or just ignored her? What has she proposed doing?

While there are plenty of examples of building permits and rules and such that are ridiculous, I don't see enough details in this situation to classify it as ridiculous.

Sorry ATrain - but you build your house on an eroding cliff, too bad.

But she OWNS the cliff...as for the rest of the details people have inquired about, the reporter did not say whether or not the coastal commission said yes or no, but if the CC says yes she still has to go to the city following that.

As for me, if my hillside starts eroding the City of Salem, VA has no restrictions regarding what I can do to in order to save my house. At least that's what my realtor told me. However, the last inspection showed my hilltop was solid.

We need the government to tell us that we have been cleaning fish the right way all along?

I would never keep a native fish from a flowing stream like the Spokane River. But I can tell you that when it comes to trout, that there method is wasteful.
