U2 Star Wins Malibu Battle

05/02/2011
. (Gibson) U2's The Edge has moved forward in his mission to build a housing development in Malibu. According to the Daily Express, the Irish rock superstar has been fighting since 2006 to win planning approval to build a housing community against the wishes of some local residents who feared the environmental implications of such a development.

But this time around, the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy removed their opposition and will now work with The Edge on the development.

The Edge told the Los Angeles Times, "The property owners are proud of what they've accomplished with the conservancy, and they look forward to continuing to work with the Malibu community and other stakeholders." more on this story
