The Pacific Ocean

To the north is the Coast Highway which is surrounded by homes and businesses on both sides. You would have to throw people off their property to clear the land.

To the south is Los Angeles. There is no open space between the two cities. You can’t tell you are leaving one and entering the other one.

To the East are the mountains and hillsides.

You clear those and you get mud slides.

Nope your idea would not have saved Malibu.
