It is interesting to note how clearly the lines of support or rejection of Measure R fall. Most of those against it have a financial interest in taking land for commercial development (Realtors, developers and their financial and political cohorts), and those who support it are mostly people who have homes in and around Malibu, with no financial agenda.
The measure provides for input from the residents of Malibu regarding any proposed, large development. There’s nothing wrong with that in my book. Those against the measure don’t want people who live in Malibu to have a voice regarding what type of development occurs — just shut up and deal with the consequences of whatever is allowed to happen.
