In reply to the discussion: Malibu: No more 'Billionaire Beaches.' [View all]Farmer-Rick
(12,384 posts)35. I've heard that the people in those houses on Carbon beach
Would build gates walls and fences across the public access points. Yeah, if they got reported they would take them down, very slowly. Then they would turn around and put them right back up. Then they got a free beach, until the government took some major action. If you're rich it's no worse than landscaping costs.
Some of the residents have resorted to posting fake signs of all kinds. Your link shows what are real signs and what are fake signs. The filthy-rich want it all, every nice thing, every bit of comfort, all the beauty and wealth out there.

If you look at that PDF, you'll see two public access points to Carbon Beach.

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

City can't zone, than no hook up to city utilities, electric, water, sewer.
