"You either surf or fight."
California has long been known as a land of the uber rich, famous, powerful. From Hollywood’s hills to San Francisco’s hills, Bel Air’s hills to San Diego’s hills, million dollar homes with billion dollar vistas are occupied by the aforementioned lighting Cuban cigars with $100 bills and toasting crystal goblets filled with Dom Perignon.
A fine life.
One of the most exclusive hills, generally guarded by a sense of decorum and hush hush vibes, is the one rising above Malibu and its pristine shore. The gentle climb from water’s edge to high vista is dotted with discreet mansions but maybe the veil of secrecy has finally been lifted.
Megastar power couple Jay-Z and Beyoncé, you see, just purchased a home right up from First Point that is, officially, the most expensive ever sold in California.
The $200 cement monolith, designed by architect master Tadao Ando, sits on an 8-acre bluff and boasts 30,000 feet of usable space. There is a pool, fine views and exclusive access to Billionaires’ Beach.
Exciting but with this new spotlight, the region’s surfers are becoming increasingly worried that their beloved and historical surf break may finally become overcrowded. Weekend mobs descended upon the wave as news of Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s new address, leaving locals kerflummoxed and befuddled. Longtime natives the Brothers Marshall posted a photo of the chaos, wondering if it was a sign of things to come.
Light a candle for Malibu surfers if you think of it, today.

Sunday Chas fuckup day. $200 = the most expensive CA home ever bought. Must be full of coffee tables that cost .01$ and are there to jump over.
Pretty sure there are some ideally located cardboard boxes selling for more than that.
Dumetown and ( J ) Z boyz
REvolution. $200 (000) (000)
With the National Weather Service issuing a “beach hazard statement”
and forecasters declaring waves in the 10 to 20 foot range, though,
there is great worry that VALs, kooks, sportos, motorheads, geeks,
sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies and dickheads will see the fun being
had and attempt to join in (from an unnamed source name Chas) on this new communal living experiment…
Locals say: buy the ticket/take the ride or just park and pay for the ticket later…
Developers say: build a multilevel parking structure to accommodate more zillionaires…
City planners: need to widen PCH, the bike path for more public access…
$200 million?!
Man, that’s enough to pay reparations to one black person in California.
Jay-Z and Beyonce, you bastards.
the screwheads (a consortium of mostly native nationalities) that sued to reclaim Bruce’s Beach won, then immediately resold back to LA County.
in other repair news…take it away Dave:

LA County knew that would be the outcome all along. It’s not as if the family descendants were going to be able to afford the property taxes.
LA County bought it for $20 Million. That’s a lot of capital gains and property transfer taxes hung around their neck.
all parties agreed before anything was done or it wasn’t gonna happen at all
I’m not a truck driver, I’m a surfer.I have enough retro fishes to last me and my family the rest of our lives!! I’m rich biatch!!
