The descendants of resort founders Willa and Charles Bruce won the land back in June of 2022.
The board made the headlining decision in June 2022 in an effort to “right the wrongs of the past,” as Anthony Bruce, the family’s spokesman, saw it. As part of the agreement, the Bruce family had a two-year window in which they could require the county to buy the land back at its value, reports the. They’ve now decided to take the county up on the offer.
Anthony Bruce holds a bill “Bruce’s Beach Bill” after California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed it in Manhattan Beach, Calif.“What was stolen from the family was the property, but what the property represented was the ability to create and preserve and group and pass down generational wealth,” Fatheree told reporters.
Still, other factors may have contributed to the decision. None of the family members, for one, reside in Southern California. The land is also not zoned for public use, not development, which means the family might have to suit up for a years-long permitting fight before they could break ground. County Board of Supervisors Chair Janice Hahn, who helped initiate the transfer, recognizes the sale not as an abrupt change but rather as an example of reparations at work. “They feel what is best for them is selling this property back to the county for nearly $20 million and finally rebuilding the generational wealth they were denied for nearly a century,” Hahn told thein an interview. “This is what reparations look like and it is a model that I hope governments across the country will follow.
