Is California Planning to Steal the Malibu Coastline from Residents?

For the last six months, the rebuilding from the fires in the Palisades has
proceeded-- unreasonably slowly, to be sure, but proceeded nevertheless. The
same is true in Altadena, the site of the second great fire last January. But
the residents of Malibu have been frozen in time by the state. Nothing is
happening. No debris clean-up, no environmental studies, permit applications
are held in limbo, etc. And now the residents are hearing rumors of the reason
for this: the state of California doesn't like people living on the beach.
State bureaucrats have always taken a dim view of homes built right on the
shoreline but haven't been able to do anything about it because those homes
were built in an era when people were mostly free to do as they liked and the
massive regulatory state didn't exist. But these fires have given them the
perfect excuse to do what they've always wanted to do: kick all those people
off the beach, seize their homes and property and demolish them.

Even people whose homes were spared by the fires are hearing from their
insurance agents and sources within the government that the state is preparing
to seize their land.

Of course if the state does do this, it will be required under the 5th
Amendment to compensate property owners for the seizure at full market value.
The guy in the video, his property alone is assessed at $40 million. So the
state is looking at having to pay billions if it wants all that land back and
they're pretty much bankrupt as it is. Gavvy Newsom is scrambling around
looking for money anywhere he can find it just to keep the lights on in
Sacramento, so where they think they're going to find the money to do this is
anyone's guess.

And just from a base political perspective, the people that own these homes
are not itinerant migrants with no resources and no political clout, like the
neighborhoods in Chavez Ravine that they seized back in the 1950s to build
Dodger Stadium. These are some of the richest and most connected people in
America and if the state is really planning to do this, the politicians behind
it have some serious balls to steal the homes of the country's most powerful
people.

But it's just rumors for now.
