Today’s LA Times has an article about the CA Coastal Commission’s ruling preventing a Malibu homeowner’s association from posting signs or patrolling public access to Broad Beach.

According to Sara Wan, a Coastal Commissioner:

“I think the results are to be expected,” she said after the vote. “The law’s very clear about the public right to access beaches. The fact that they’re fighting it tells me that if the commission didn’t [issue the order], you’d see signs up again, maybe not tomorrow but it might be five years from now.”

This diary’s really just a test of the system, etc, see how things look and feel.

Plus, the issue is I think important – public beach access rights must be preserved. The Malibu homeowners could not possibly be more wrong.
