== Conflict with the City ==

Dating the beginnings of conflict with the City has proved devilishly difficult for scholars, due ~~largely~~ to fundamental differences in the norms and record keepings of both groups. The City these days only seems capable of maintaining (loosely at best) records of debt and credit, and the Beach has never been much taken with objective record-keeping in principle, much less in practice. Time - and often space - really are considered guiding markers, at best. Though truth be told, the same could be said of the City, though they'd be hard pressed to let themselves be caught cold (let alone on tape and sober) saying so.

Nevertheless, reasonably reliable sources tend to put blame on the City's relentlessly expansive garbage-dumping campaign, and specifically its trucks incursions onto the shores of acidBEACH. It is unclear - and troubling - how the trucks managed to penetrate the barrier that has historically separated the beach from perception, not to mention physical incursion, from the lands within which the City might be said to call home, but one way or another it is well established to have occurred, repeatedly.
