It's really crazy that, except for in Long Beach, and a small handful of buildings built in the 60's in Santa Monica, there are no ocean view high rise condo buildings in all of Southern California

What do you think might explain the rarity? My first thought was seismic/geology reasons but there's probably a political reason on account of the plentiful ocean view high rise office buildings.
Technically not high rises but there are lots of mid-rise condos on the Esplanade in Redondo Beach (built pre-Coastal Act). Tallest ones are 8-10 stories.
THE PROPERTY MAFIA BILLIONAIRES HAVE ABSCONDED WITH OCEAN VIEW IN CALIFORNIA AND THEY ARE BUILDING DOOMSDAY UNDERGROUND SHELTERS FOR THEMSELVES FOR WHEN THEY DESTROY EARTH! This is not a conspiracy theory. It is actually what is happening on EARTH!
Oh good call. I remember the big ball at Taipei 101. I am not trained in these things so was just throwing out a guess. FWIW, as a non-engineer I would be (and was) frightened to live too far off the ground in known shaky places.
I live in a south facing, 17th (top) floor, on the beach high rise (then) apartment building in Santa Monica under rent control. The best place I ever lived at. 😜
I lived on the 15th floor (17 in all) of the Santa Monica Shores. At the beach, with a pitch and put 9 hole golf course on the ocean side, and between the two towers was a post office, hair salon and a little market. When we moved in (1972), the rent was $274. We stayed ten years.
