Malibu: No more 'Billionaire Beaches.' [View all]

Last edited Sun Jan 12, 2025, 10:48 AM - Edit history (2)

If the city of Malibu can't rezone land west of the Pacific Coast Highway to preclude the rebuilding of ocean front monstrosities, then at least acquire a property or two on each beach to give the public more easy access to public land.

There are no Billionaire Beaches, only public beaches.

Carbon Beach.

Don't allow them to rebuild there. There's not enough space. Should be open beach. Those houses are (were) monstrosities Clouds Passing Jan 2025 #20
