Cape Cod house faces collapse as erosion threatens local oyster farming

A house in Wellfleet, Cape Cod, is at risk of collapsing into the bay within three years due to severe erosion. The property, previously owned by Mark and Barbara Blasch, has faced challenges in securing a seawall to protect it. The new owner, John Bonomi, sold the house to CQN Salvage, which has stated it will not fund removal efforts. The town is concerned that debris from a potential collapse could harm local oyster farming, a key industry in the area. Erosion rates have increased, with bluffs receding significantly in recent years. The town is currently waiting for a plan to address the situation, as the house remains precariously close to the edge.
