Some residents of a California nudist resort are experiencing birthday suit blues after the owners of the property allegedly cut their power for refusing demands to clothe themselves.
The drastic step is the latest development in a feud between the owners and residents of the historical refuge for the unclothed, Olive Dell Ranch near Riverside, California.
Despite its nudist roots since 1952, owners of the ranch enacted a “textile” policy months ago, forcing residents to clothe themselves in public areas. The residents then sued the owners, alleging they violated their civil rights by restricting their freedom to bare arms, legs and everything in between.

The owners, who bought the property in 2019, are accused of letting it go to ruin and forcing residents to maintain it. The pool had been left to turn green, the sauna and restaurant were closed, community events were canceled and the water system was neglected, leaving people without drinking water at points.
Roads, showers and tennis courts also deteriorated.
Residents even began feeling unsafe when the front gate stopped locking, and they began worrying about peeping toms checking out the nudists.
...
The attorney considers the nudists’ affinity for bare skin to be a characteristic that they can be discriminated against for. “The reason it’s against the law, is the civil rights act prohibits any business from discriminating against anyone based on their characteristics,” she told ABC 7.
The nudists are seeking millions in damages from the owners of the Olive Dell Ranch for breach of contract, negligence, elder abuse, civil rights violations, and other things. Campbell said an associate from her firm was in court Friday fighting for the nudists, and the judge chided the defendants on engaging in “self-help” evictions.

When I was young, there was a man in our circle who was looking for a female to join a nudist colony with him (apparently, it was one where you had to join with a partner.)
I’ve never understood the allure; so very few of us have the physique worthy of being shown off like that; and even when we do, it usually doesn’t very long...

Cigarette are bad in cali but pot is ok.
The pool water looks blue in the aerial photos.
I don’t see what the problem is, the new owners are just following Jesus’s command to clothe the naked.
In a filing, the owners asked the judge to dismiss the complaint for making bare allegations.

“”that they can be discriminated against for.””
May have passed a bar exam but certainly failed English!
Is this a vacation resort or permanent housing for nudists?
Someone drilled a peephole in the privacy fence. After complaints, the police said they were looking into it.
“”Turning off the heat to a nudist colony during February temperatures””
May not affect Riverside, CA - relatives tell me it’s in the ‘70’s there..other parts of the state may fluctuate!
Yeah - I remember that in the Bill of Rights
“”So are they really residents? is it like a mobile home park, or is it more like a club I wonder.””
I wondered the same thing and asked if it was a vacation resort or real residents? Don’t know!
Thanks. It doesn’t appear to be very pleasant, does it? Beastly hot out there in the summertime....
LOL!
But really: how much is there in the average nudist club that one would really want to look at?
A bunch of women with exorbitant notions of their own beauty, and a bunch of male creepers.
LOL....Also pretty clever FR profile page...
