State Supreme Court says ‘No’ to U2’s “The Edge”

MALIBU, Calif. (AP) – A plan by U2 guitarist The Edge to build a cluster of mansions on a ridgeline above Malibu appears to be dead after California’s highest court declined to consider his last-ditch appeal. The musician’s real name is David Evans and he staged a 14-year legal fight to build five eco-friendly homes in an undeveloped section of the Santa Monica Mountains west of Los Angeles. The Sierra Club sued to block construction.
