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.

"The attorney considers the nudists’ affinity for bare skin to be a characteristic that they can be discriminated against for."
I thought that was part of the thrill.
But in all seriousness, all but two percent of the population looks much better clothed. And that two percent does not remove their clothing without incentive.
Keep America Beautiful.
Put your clothes on!
Typically the people who go naked are the last people you want to see naked.
Yeah they showed this story on ABC 7 and I was saying to myself “Thank you for not showing them from the neck down”
Turning off the heat to a nudist colony during February temperatures always forces a blanket response.
Bummer-can’t find it on google maps.
“Birthday Suit Blues”
A new one on me.
Government childcare is unlikely to instantaneously provide quality childcare.
First they came for the nudists, but I wasn’t a nudist...
I wonder what their smoking policy is.
This will all end when the Caliphate is established....
It’s in the valley south of the twin peaks.
How true.
People from the textile free community are in an uproar
I’m sure that, for almost all of the clientele, being nudge is a disability.
I saw some fat elderly female nudists 40 years ago in Nice, France. I’ve seen better skin on tanned cowhides. I’m still trying to to erase that memory!
The owners, who bought the property in 2019, are accused of letting it go to ruin and forcing residents to maintain it.
So are they really residents? is it like a mobile home park, or is it more like a club I wonder.
Sounds like the owner has development or other plans for the property that don’t include nudists, like maybe a Nordstroms or something.
Clothed until further notice?
I am guessing they are safe from lookie looks.
