Jenny Price has no money, but she's on the case.
I did not expect that the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was still a factor in much litigation.
Ladies and gentlemen, announcing our free ferry service to Martins Beach.
I've contemplated the feasibility of a Visit Your Stolen Pension bus tour to the Hamptons, Greenwich etc.
And some of what she is doing in 6 has that flavor I now see.
It's be interesting to see how the TofGH bears on this. The biggest wrinkle there is that while ordinarily a grant boundary defined as the sea or a bay would run only to the high tide line (US v. Pacheco), the Mexican government's grants that explicitly refer to tidelands (between hign and low tide lands) are effective. I'm guessing that such grants would be considered outside the public trust doctrine a la Illinois Central. It's just a guess.
The issue here doesn't seem to be the seaward boundary, though, but whether allowing access by license can convert to a prescriptive easement (or, I suppose, whether the coastal statutes/regs allow revocation of license).
How about a swap? Put Cliven Bundy's cows on the beach and put Vinod Khosla in charge of trespassing surfers in Gold Butte.
(Anyone feeling like going down the rabbit hole of the traditional understandings of access to California beaches where the upland was a Mexican land grant could work their way through Coburn v. San Mateo County, 75 Fed 520 (Cir Ct N. D. Cal. 1896). It's on google books.)
That's right, folks, the first 200 people to line up each day will be given a ride and a hot meal on their way to a day of frolic on Martins Beach.
And a free lid, that's important.
I think this is a situation that calls for drum circles.
It goes without saying that these free rides to the beach will be via ekranoplan.
Speaking of, when are we going to set up a tithe and purchase an actual Mineshaft ekranoplan? From these guys, maybe (autosound).
Seriously, with rising wealth inequality, you'd think someone would have commissioned a personal ekranoplan by now.
A friend of mine's company built the app in 4 with Jenny. I'm hoping to get an LA River organization to enlist them in something similar, although it wouldn't have quite the tasty stick-it-to-the-man frisson to boost the Kickstarter. Not a lot of billionaires on the L.A. River (but just you wait).
I would like to offer the highly original observation that rich people suck fetid ass.
(But yay for Jenny Price and k-sky's friend!)
