Entire post is a post-frontal breath of fresh air. Literally, thank you.

We have similar denizens up here. They build palatial cabin-like things right onto the channel-edge of a small-but-powerful little river just away from a fixed-capacity spillway and then Mother Nature periodically does her reveal. She does this quietly in comparison to the Northeast US because that is where all the suits & cameras are. Nonetheless, she will spill that Chicagoan's 2nd home into the lake with just as much equality-of-outcome as any. It gets some local pictures in the paper and there will be hearings & flailing of arms & gnashing of teeth. But the dummkopf will rebuild in the same spot, caring little about what holds the soil and why one might want to do that & leave it be.

Meanwhile the largemouth & crappies really like the new structure; it's better than planted fish cribs.
