  You don;t get it. Access to coast is guaranteed to be public in most countries I have visited - it simply is not for sale. This is about super-rich people demanding special treatment, saying - EVERYTHING is for sale, it is just a question of price. He should be in jail for repeatedly violating the law.

    It's happening throughout the West with access to rivers and lakes that billionaires have "purchased." It is definitely a cancer since it weakens the idea that some real estate is public domain. (And I'm an unironic capitalist saying this.)

  Khosla bought the property knowing it was subject to the public access easement (and it was priced accordingly).

    If someone could find evidence to support this, I think this would be even more damaging for his persona. All this fight "for principle" that comes down to $X million.

      These easements aren’t usually documented, but it would be blindingly obvious to anyone who bought the property, especially anyone with an attorney worthy of representing a billionaire. He absolutely knew, and figured he could bully, buy, litigate and delay his way out of it. I’m betting the whole strategy was written up before the sale was complete.
