and it's going to be too late once they finally do something about it. That's the sad part.

Yep. Another 60-80 years if we did everything possible to try and restore it

Not much they can do, and actually get away with. Before, without the levees, much of south LA would flood on a regular basis. If the government modifies the levee system now to save the coast, the floods will wipe out towns and end up costing the government hundreds of billions of dollars in lawsuits for damages "caused by them".
