Dead house close to hundreds of meters cliff, why not leave?

It is called this because it is located precariously on the edge of the cliff.
According to the BBC and other foreign media, La Ceja, one of the commercial areas of the Bolivian plateau city of El Alto, has houses that are close to hundreds of meters of cliffs. It is located on a cliff with a slope of almost 90 degrees, making it dizzying.
The problem is that the region's ground gradually weakens due to global warming and can collapse in an instant. Courts, walls, and parts of houses are already falling apart.
Experts and authorities argued that continued heavy rain was causing the cliff to collapse, making homes more dangerous.
But most of the residents refuse to move.
This is because it is the base of livelihood. It also plays a part in the belief that the god who makes the offering regularly will protect it.
Authorities said they have already overcome the dangerous situation and are considering forcing them to relocate even using force.
