Cindy Crawford's Malibu home for sale- a year after she bought and renovated it.
So Cindy is flipping homes, now?

It must be the Pacific Coast Highway drive that gets to people. I can't imagine wanting to leave that house, ever.
There may be rattlesnakes that get into the house, though. And black widows. I notice that it is built far into the foliage.
Rats, squirrels, mice, rattlers, poisonous spiders--and then the perilous and deadly drive everyday on PCH.
I can see her point.

Yeah, there's a new species of squirrel that has taken over most of L.A..
The majority squirrel used to be the California Grey, the state's indigenous species, but the red squirrel has basically overrun them and they are quite aggressive.
So, I looking at her rooms amongst the trees and I can imagine the constant, annoying, squirrel chatterings and fights. Those trees would be shaking constantly with riotous, obnoxious squirrels, and then jumping and running on the roof all night long.
Then the racoons, which are everywhere in Malibu, would be breaking in the house, or damaging the outside awning.

The Pacific Coast Highway, the ONLY road to and from her property, is amongst the most dangerous roads in the world. This is the road that Mel Gibson infamously was caught speeding and drunk driving on.
When there are fires, and that is frequent, PCH shuts down for days at a time, trapping it's residents in their homes or disallowing them to get home.
There are constant rock slides that are quite deadly and will cause closures on PCH to fix.
Heavy rains also impact PCH and will cause closures for weeks at a time.

I don't get the appeal of living in Malibu. I was disappointed when I went for a visit. I thought it would be breath takingly gorgeous. It wasn't. Most of the houses are built into steep cliffs on the opposite side of a busy highway that runs along the coast, so they aren't really "beach front". The views from Cindy's house are pretty sparse. I prefer east coast ocean front homes where you are ON the beach (not across a busy highway). And you have panoramic ocean views from every room.

"Cindy, the squirrels are coming from inside the house!"

She bought it 1 year ago for $6 million? And now she wants $15,450,000? For what? It's a $1 million house (max) on a $6 million lot. People are insane.

15 million is too much. It looks lovely, but I agree with R7

I can practically feel the ocean breeze.

Well! I guess our thread about the inconveniences of Malibu opened HER eyes!

You can be ON the beach in California (and even in LA County), it is just a matter of knowing where (hint: not Malibu).
Having lived on “east coast ocean ON the beach” and West Coast Ocean ON the beach in both the USA and Australia, I find:
Indian Ocean is preferable to
Pacific Ocean which is much more preferable to
(Dumpy) Atlantic Ocean.

R11 What's the difference?
| by Anonymous | reply 12 | February 10, 2021 5:24 AM |
The difference involves a combination of factors:
Water quality and clarity (For example, in most of N. America, the Atlantic is often brackish/grey due to currents and increased populations on both sides of Atlantic)
Wave dynamics (Indian and Pacific waves preferable in general)
Temperatures (both in sea and on land due to currents)
Sand or Ground-Sea Interface (again with the exception of the Caribbean, Indian/Pacific islands and continents are nicer)
