County Blamed for 1956 Palos Verdes Slippage Case
A Superior Court judge held the county liable under inverse condemnation for the 1956 Palos Verdes Hills landslide, caused mainly by Crenshaw Boulevard roadbuilding. The decision found 186000 tons of earth dumped into two canyons triggered the movement, rejecting irrigation and sewer tank theories. Damages involve about $8 million against Rancho Palos Verdes Properties and Capitol Corp, with hearings to follow.
