LA does allow high rises on the coast to some extent.... Long Beach for instance, part of LA county, has its entire downtown on the coast.... tallest being almost 40 floors. Redondo beach, santa monica, el Segundo, marina del ray all have skylines and high rises on the coast... and they are all within Los Angeles city limits, minus Santa Monica, but the big issue is as soon as a high rise is proposed on the coast, residents who live in the area, and the ones who been there forever and hate change, stomp their feet and cry so all plans are scraped..... But to be honest.... I don't think most of the people of LA want high rises on the coast. We rather our beach be a bit of our escape from the rest of the city which is already being heavily developed.
