I really don't understand the kind of mentality Mr. Khosla is portrayed having in this article. Doesn't he care about other people? Why can't he just allow access to the beach for other people? I can see why he might not want people trapesing over his land, but surely a reasonable person can see there's a middle ground where citizens are allowed access to common land that they are entitled to. Maybe some successful tech founder types here can help me out. Is it simply a lack of empathy with folks who don't happen to get rich?

It mostly just sounds like Good Old Fashioned Stubbornness to me. Choice pull quotes: > Mr. Khosla says he does not even want to triumph. “If I were to ever win in the Supreme Court, I’d be depressed about it,” he says. “I support the Coastal Act; I don’t want to weaken it by winning. But property rights are even more important.” > “But once you’re there in principle, you can’t give up principle.” Another case of Old Man Yells at the Sea (and also for some reason the Supreme Court)?
