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:
“I don’t think it’s a snobby thing. It’s like letting someone into your backyard. You’re paying for the beach house and the property you own is technically the beach in front of your house,” said Emma Ravdin.
Oh, diddums.
