Abstract

Waterfronts represent some of Southern California’s most valuable real estate and most sought-after recreation destinations. Despite Los Angeles County’s reputation for large public beaches, privatization and the discouragement of public use came to characterize Malibu’s Broad Beach by the end of the twentieth century. In the same era, erosion reshaped the boundary between public and private property on the beach. Residents called for permanent structures to stabilize the coast. Public beach activists rejected homeowners’ claims that beach armoring was in the public’s interest. Activists demanded state authorities expand access opportunities and protect public recreation instead of protecting beachfront mansions. As coastal erosion altered the parameters of public access, environmental change raised the stakes regarding state and federal authorities’ responsibilities to maintain beaches. At the turn of the twenty-first century, the longstanding challenge to public access in this exclusive Malibu enclave collided with the unfolding climate crisis, highlighting the entwined nature of environmental risk and real estate development on the beach.
宽海滩的变窄
海滨代表了南加州最有价值的房地产和最受欢迎的娱乐目的地。尽管洛杉矶县以大型公共海滩而闻名,但到20世纪末,私有化和对公共使用的阻碍成为马里布宽阔海滩的特征。在同一时期,侵蚀重塑了海滩上公共和私人财产之间的界限。居民们呼吁建造永久性建筑来稳定海岸。公共海滩活动人士反驳了房主的说法,即海滩装甲符合公众利益。活动人士要求州政府扩大准入机会,保护公共娱乐场所,而不是保护海滨豪宅。由于海岸侵蚀改变了公众进入的参数,环境变化提高了州和联邦当局维护海滩责任的风险。在21世纪之交,公众进入这个马里布专属飞地的长期挑战与不断发展的气候危机相冲突,突出了环境风险和海滩上房地产开发的相互交织的本质。
