It isn't an OK state of affairs. The gentleman is apparently breaking the law but the only remedy within the law is through the state agency that is preparing to sue him.
- masklinn 13y agoIt looks like he's not technically breaking the law: the beach remains public, the issue is gaining access to it, which there's apparently no public mandate for (the article notes that previous owners of the property charged a small fee to go through).
- joonix 13y agoThe government should be able to sue to get an easement to the beach. Easements are not a new or exotic thing by any meabs.

- a3n 13y agoReal estate law varies from place to place. It's common to require that a blocking property allow access to the blocked property (an easement). This guy's property seems to be blocking access to public property. Lawyers will huddle, and I'm guessing in the end that people will again have access to public property.
