California revives legal battle against tech billionaire Vinod Khosla - Business Insider

The state of California just revived a decade-long bitter legal battle with billionaire tech investor Vinod Khosla, over restricting access to a strip of a San Mateo beach bordering his property. on behalf of the California Coastal Commission and the State Lands Commission on Monday, alleging that Khosla had prevented the public from accessing Martins Beach, a San Mateo spot popular with locals for surfing and fishing.

But the two state agencies that are pushing California's lawsuit say that Khosla has not complied with the ruling,that the gate "has not been consistently open" and that the venture capitalist has yet to file a permit requesting permission. "In the Surfrider case, it was undisputed that the property is private. The case did not in any way address the issue of whether the public has a right to free use and access of the property," Dori Yob Kilmer, a lawyer for Khosla, said in a statement that pushed back against the San Francisco appeals court's ruling. in 2018 that he regretted buying the property but would continue fighting for his privacy based on "principle," safeguarding property rights.

But the state of California appears to be gearing to fight the designation of Martins Beach as private.

California doesn't play this game. The Coastal Commission previously fined property owners in Malibu 5.1 million dollars for blocking access to the beach & using security guards to enforce illegal boundaries. IIRC, by Commission laws, property lines stop at the high tide line.

In civilised countries beaches and their access are reserved for the public of the country, and cannot be privatised.
