Residents of yellow-tagged apartments in Pacificia ask to move home
PACIFICA, Calif. (KGO) -- Residents of a Pacifica apartment building sitting on the edge of a cliff are appealing to the city to let them back into their homes.
Pacifica yellow-tagged 310 esplanade in January and ordered 20 people to move out because of erosion.

Two other cliffside apartment buildings were knocked down based on recommendations from a consulting geo-technical engineer.
The city manager plans to ask the city council to uphold the yellow-tag decision for the safety of the public.

"I feel safe here. Other tenants believe that this is safe and there's been no change on this bluff since the 25 of January," said Bart Willoughby, a tenant.
Willoughby plans to appeal the city's eviction notice Wednesday citing there was no imminent emergency or danger of the bluff collapsing on a large scale.
