I'm weary of getting into this, but I don't think that's the right conclusion from the beach issue. I'm not intimately familiar but if you care about it, I'd recommend reading what he wrote about it. https://medium.com/@vkhosla/martins-beach-a-matter-of-princi...

I've read his post, and I think it's "not even wrong", in the sense that his conception of his rights is so fundamentally out of touch with reality, his premises so faulty, that attempting to engage with the arguments he bases on them is not worthwhile for either side.

Here's a more recent status update from the other side of this dispute: https://www.surfrider.org/coastal-blog/entry/whats-next-for-...

The Supreme Court refused to take up Khosla's most recent appeal, leaving in place the requirement that he leave the gate open to the access road to Martin's Beach.

It will be interesting to see what Khosla does now, given that he has exhausted his appeals in the court system.

He claims he'll litigate for the rest of his life. I suspect he'll keep finding new ways to refuse to comply, each time getting a type of citation that is different from the others based on the letter of the law (though not its spirit), and appeal each one as far as it'll go.

Disgusting. It's too bad he'll get away with it. Normal people would go to jail after a while.

And my reply to Khosla, in the immortal words of Jeff Spicoli, “You Dick!”
