As the Malibu beach house season heads into its last big-bash weekend, The Los Angeles Times reports that next year the party might be over for the pop-up venue trend there. Malibu residents have complained that three corporate-financed party houses sponsored by Polaroid, LG, and BeachBody with Silver Spoon clog streets, block driveways and fire hydrants, create noise problems, and cause paparazzi to swarm the beach.
This is the second year for the houses; last year, the parties were smaller and nearby homeowners looked the other way. However, with the frequency of parties this year, neighbors complained to the city, which will attempt to take action with an ordinance limiting events for next year. Jessica Meisel, whose Fingerprint Communications oversees the Polaroid house, says, "The city of Malibu should be happy at the property values we're raising. It's definitely better for them to be known internationally."
