I will never ever go to this beach. but I surf, in California. I swim in beaches, in California. I read books on the beach, in California. I care. And so should every other citizen of California who uses a beach anywhere. He is screwing us all. Other property owners have tried to do this..(i.e. malibu) and if one of them succeeds...we have a precedent..and once we have a precedent...it makes doing this much easier in the future.
- option 9y agoExactly. This is potentially very damaging to every Californian, because suddenly a rich guy is able to block beach access from public.
- carapace 9y agoYou're right, of course. I misspoke.
- mathperson 9y agoI mis-speak constantly. However..on further reflection you are probably right. We should ALL care..but the only people who do care in actuality will probably be the locals and the ever stalwart Surfrider foundation
- carapace 9y agoCheers! But you're right too. :-D Not only that is would set a terrible precedent, but that everyone who values the free access to public beaches should care about this case too. I was thinking about how Khosla is trying all these legal antics with the government, but the real people who he's most directly affecting are the folks who have been using that beach for years and years. It's so unneighborly.
