Silicon Valley billionaire loses bid to prevent access to public beach

quote [ A California court has ordered a Silicon Valley billionaire to restore access to a beloved beach that he closed off for his private use, a major victory for public lands advocates who have been fighting the venture capitalist for years. ]

You can't like own land, man.

Never trust an businessman who names his company after his surname.

indeed. there is a law in France called the "Coastal Act" (Loi littoral) to prevent private appropriation of all streams, rivers and lakes and oceans shores. basically all coasts are considered public space. even if you own the land that touches the sea, you must leave public access through your private land to people.

some rich guys who bought hundreds of millions villas with "private sea access" to the Mediterranean sea were not so happy about this law.

here's some photos of building being destroyed because build too close to the sea :

Part of me can somewhat appreciate what the guy did.

Why? Spent a week at the outer banks a few weeks back and even on the less used portions of the beach there was plenty of litter and shit in the sand.
