When their house sits on stilts so they can make bigger houses on smaller hills, they should probably see something like this coming.

Why? Asking because I know nothing of the area.

Super rich people that have known about this for decades

Ah. So this isn't a tragedy, it's a write off.

They are constantly moving the road and repaving as the land moves. My friend says a part of it is really steep now, cars take their time driving over it.

I've driven that road lately and even though it's had "Rough Road" signs for years, it's insanely bad now. So steep and cars going too fast scrape the road.
