The Edge is creating ecological and residential havoc in Malibu

[oktobergirl]

I watched the story and it wasn't that bad, ate least not as one sided as I think the LA Weekly article was. Bottom line, Edge bought a boatload of acreage in Malibu and wants to build a bunch of houses on it.
The land was zoned residential when he bought it right? So, that leads me to believe he can do what he wants w/ it. I'm not sticking up for Edge just because he's in U2, but it sort of seems like that's the rule of real estate, eh?

 

[RedRocksU2]

Agreed. I watched the broadcast as well on channel 5. Even the report was total nonsense.

The Edge can do whatever the hell The Edge wants

Yes, unlike Bono, who has to ask for permission for everything, including eye makeup.

Mudfield,

You realize most of those rich people in Malibu complaining about Edge are Jewish right? I can't believe you are defending them.

 

[stargift]

The residents who are complaining about him not letting strangers shoot arrows in his backyard should let the club move into their own backyards. Any volunteers?

Not cool.

(edited - never mind. better to not get involved.)

I hope he puts roaming tigers on his property. He'd redeem himself in my eyes if that happened.

 

[starsgoblue]

Ligers would be so much cooler than tigers. They are bred for its skills in magic after all.

I think that post about the Jewish people is a reference to Muldfeld's never-ending hate of Israel, not a shot at Jewish people.

[corianderstem]

Heh. I just edited my own post, figuring I didn't even want to get involved, but I was wondering if anyone else was going to come along and give a little back-story.

ANYway.

So yeah, The Edge. Geez, what a crumbum, huh? Damn rich guys and their mountains of money.

 

[The_Pac_Mule]

Maybe, but each of these people has one home.

I wouldn't be suprised if these rich snobs had second or third homes elsewhere

 

[Yahweh]

He can do what he wants with his own property I am sure we all have neighbors that we dont like or agree with.

Maybe he's leveling the mountain on his property so he can replace it with his mountain of money. That would be majestic

 

[Dalton]

Apparently, this is how Edge plans on leveling the mountain.

Tigers with beanies? They could roam around and eat all the whiny rich people. That would be awesome

He's the best, and I love that picture due to his joke about fire exits.

Its really the most cost effetive

 

[VintagePunk]

Seriously?


Seriously?




That said, the article did provide me with a laugh. When I first read it, I originally read the name of Edge's neighbour Candace Brown as Candace Bergen, and I was all ready to hate on Murphy Brown for being a whiny bitch.

Wtf is a much loved archery club doing on property that's about to be sold, anyway, and why do neighbours think it has the right to be hosted indefinitely by the new property owner?

Lions? and Tigers? What about the Bears? (Oh my!)

 

[shart1780]

OMG I can't believe he'd do something so HORRIBLE.


Just kidding. I don't give a crap.

That's what I want to know.
Why don't they just host it on their own property if they love it so much. Edge has a large family/extended family. He has the right to do what he wants. He only has to worry about city commissioners/planners to decide if he can do what he wants to do. They could sway opinion, but if he's compliant with everything then they have no ground to stand on.

 

[shart1780]

Poor little archery club being taken over by the evil big land owner with no heart. I think they should hire the A-Team.

 

[Jive Turkey]

...complaining about him not letting strangers shoot arrows in his backyard.....

lol

 

[Canadiens1131]

Is Bono okay?

 

[popacrobat]

lol.

 

[bram]

What the hell is an archery club and why are there any of them anywhere?

If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit.
