In reply to the discussion: Malibu: No more 'Billionaire Beaches.' [View all]FakeNoose
(36,341 posts)32. I'm guessing it has been local (or county) zoning groups that made this mess
If Uncle Sam and the State of California are going to share the cost of rebuilding the burned properties, then they need to set the regulations for how the replacement structures will be built. They'll need to make sure there is ample parking and access to the public.
If the billionaires don't like it, tough shit. Let them move out to an island somewhere. The local zoning authorities have really messed it up good.

That's correct, I've been watching wealthy folks block access to public beaches since 1960.

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