Actually, Age, it's GOOD~! They should never have been allowed to build on public rights of way in the first place. Look at it this way--you own a house on a corner. People keep cutting across your lawn. If you permit it for a certain number of years, it becomes a public right of way. If you then put up a fence, you'd be breaking the law. The builders of these properties broke the law. The law is now correcting the situation. I DO believe in the right to own private property, but not land set aside for the people BEFORE someone tries to build on it. You can't build a private home in a park, in the middle of the freeway, or on a public right of way. Where were the attorneys for these multi-millionaires when they examined the titles for them? The search should have shown the rights of way.

ABC news tonight said Geffen and others were allowed to build on the beach only if they allowed a right of way. Some how they bottled that up. Until now.
