    Yes.

    According to the article:

    “The land in Rancho Palos Verdes, situated atop the bluffs of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and home to prime real estate, including the Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles, has been shifting since the 1950s. But geologists say it is moving at a rate of more than a foot a week in some areas, threatening certain neighborhoods.”
