- komali2 8y agoThe anti-California line on Twitter is that somehow this is about property rights, that a road being on this guy's property means he somehow is responsible for its upkeep, so he should be allowed to do with it what he wants. Except... He's not responsible. I just find it interesting that hundreds of suspicious Twitter accounts are taking this opportunity to try to trend hashtags like "#socialismkills"
- rmason 8y agoUnder California Coastal Commission rules the property owner must continue to maintain beach access. You also cannot deny beach access which Barbara Streisand among others learned in Malibu years ago. I wish Michigan had been so farsighted.
- komali2 8y agoI thought the definition of "maintain" was determined to be "not prevent previous access routes?" Meh, clearly just need to look at the casework, I'm no lawyer.
- ChoGGi 8y agoYeah, he sure went about it the wrong way. I would've cleared out all the old buildings/parking lot, built my house and stuck private property signs just around it, that way I'm not blocking access to the beach. The hassle of finding somewhere to park would get rid of most visitors, then you can just start calling the cops on suspicious cars parked near your house :)
