Back in May, Mark wrote about
a Kickstarter project to fund a mobile app that will help you locate
the hidden entrances to Malibu’s public beaches, which the local rich
and famous people have done everything they can to obscure (including
putting up illegal fake signs that falsely declare passage to be
trespassing).

The Kickstarter was fully funded and the app is out, and the public is
finding its way to Malibu’s public beaches, which is great news –
unless you’re one of those people who’s spent decades treating a public
beach as your own private patch. Local residents are pissed:

Fucking hell, rich people are just incensed at the idea of not being allowed to own something.

It’s even worse than that. These people are wealthy yes but just not wealthy enough to buy these parcels of beach. So they lie.
