The Edge Is Developing

The Edge from U2 finally received approval from the California Coastal Commission to build a string of five mansions along the Malibu coastal mountains. It took a decade of working past environmental restrictions designed specifically to keep The Edge from building a string of five mansions along the Malibu coastal mountains. I guess he won. And some local and sundry government officials who can now afford the better Teslas. Like many people who excessively tout the need to save the environment or face another Bono lecture, there are practical limits to such restrictions. Sometime you need to rob Peter’s carbon footprint to pay for Paul’s. The Joshua Tree was a solid album. Now cut that fucking yucca down. It’s blocking the view.
