People like him are self centered wastes of oxygen.
I thought California legally guaranteed public access to all coastlines
This POS likes to just… block it anyways… it isn’t legal, but he’s worth $6 billion, and it’s only enforced by a small fine IIRC. And when the penalty for breaking a law is a fine, it’s only illegal if you’re poor.
That’s correct.
However in this case this asshole is next to a bit of coastline that you can only get to by crossing his property. On land, by sea you’re free to land there.
It was available for decades until he bought the property and closed off that bit of land to the public. Effectively gaining his own private beach.
He’s been fighting against the state for years. Apparently citizens wanting access to public property are now “commies” to this asshole…
Someone should open up a ferry business taking people to that beach.
It’s very hard to undo an easement, like if there was a path to the beach there that anyone could use and now he wants to close the path. Sorry, he loses, that’s how laws work. It’s the one salvation we have in this capitalist hellscape.
It would be nice if CA passed a “right to roam” law that allowed one to cross any private land
The whole country needs it IMO, unfortunately only publicly-owned land with that as a designated use is the equivalent; there is no non-owned land in America, only public, private, or private-but-abandoned-and-about-to-be-repossessed. I agree that private property as “this is all mine even if it looks like an empty plain and if you so much as hover above this imaginary line you’re a criminal” is an awful way to run a society
