Abandoned Docks, Bethel Island
Sold by SunCal as a place where "At the end of your day of play, you can return to your beautiful home by water, by land, or by sea through your private backyard boat slip," the unfinished Delta Coves development is a headache for Contra Costa County's public works department. Sand from the site blows across Bethel Island and fills up lagoons, and no one is monitoring the development's water pumping systems. If the pumps malfunction during hard rains or flooding, more than 100 neighboring homes could flood.
