California has sued tech billionaire Vinod Khosla over beach access, reviving a decade-long legal battle
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.

"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.
