You folks better get behind Barbara Decker who is running against Toni Atkins and she needs ALL the help and support she can get! Toni is getting $16000 a DAY in money from special interests. Barbara is all small individual donations. Shes a small biz owner and we should be grateful she stepped up for this job! PLEASE no matter where you live get behind her and SPREAD THE WORD! I have been warning about how dangerous Toni is for 10 years now! https://www.facebook.com/Decker78Assembly

NOVAK–

Is the CCC about money and power or are developers?

LOL
I think most of us Californians know the answer to that and that’s why we passed the Coastal Act!!

All the coastal commission cares about is money and power. They are a rogue agency that reports to nobody. If it were up to them, NOBODY would have access to the beach. Hell, if it were up to them, nobody would live within 20 miles of the beach, the mountains included. They are nothing but bullies, trying to muscle everyone away from the coast. Do people really believe that we wouldn’t still have access to state owned beaches, just because all of ONE home owner says “nope, access the beach elsewhere, other than through my property”? Get real. Nobody can develop on the beaches without state and county permission and permits anyway, so what exactly is the point of this agency? And no way is the state nor counties going to permit ANYTHING, so again, the rogue agency serves no purpose. They steal land, and sell it to rich preservation groups, or to the state. At least if the land were developed, it would be useful. How much land needs to be preserved exactly? Over 50% already is. Perhaps 70%? 90%? I guess the posters here don’t like having a place to live, or even the option to choose WHERE to live within their own state. Oh well, I guess that’s bitter, angry aging hippies for ya!

He trusts the “free market” if it will make his boss “Papa Doug” a few more dollars.

In reply to Chris Reed.

Chris– your lack of trust is based on what?

I base my confidence on almost 40 years of California coastal protection!

Ted, of course I think beach access laws should be enforced. But I don’t trust the Coastal Commission with more power.

In reply to The Great Ted. Come up and visit in the summer: blue skies and sunshine. Winter at the coast can be pretty grim, but even then there are beautiful days. I'll take Newport Oregon over Newport Beach CA ANY day
