Mis-titled the head. Should be "affordable lodging," by which they mean hotels, campgrounds, trailer parks etc. Buried deep within the rather dry article are some unintentionally hilarious quotes, such as:
“The hotel operators and the financiers of these substantial projects see high end and low end as oil and water and don’t really want to mix them up together…” said Kinsey, a county supervisor from Marin County. “That approach sounds good but it hasn’t proven to be effective. “A pile of money doesn’t get a person an overnight visit to the coast. And not everyone wants to share a toothbrush and sink with someone they don’t know.”
Share a toothbrush, ew! Those Poors will do anything to get onto our coast. Also too:
The idea that public access to the coast has been translated into an edict for affordable lodging is overreaching, says San Diego hotelier Bob Rauch. “I can’t think of a reason why it should be mandated,” said Rauch, who owns and operates a number of hotels. “The value of the land is what impacts the price of a room, but if you want to be able to afford an overnight stay in coastal California, you should pay for it.”
No lodging on the beach- period- unless it's a fucking tent. These folks don't see or understand the 8-10 meter breakers that hit the Marin coastline every winter.
affordable housing at the beach
GFL on that.
Not a problem, what with all of us subsidizing the insurance for rich folks who have houses at the beach.
There should be no development on the beach. Treat it like the floodplains most of them are, and let everyone enjoy them.
Affordable lodging on the beach? Some of us would settle for not getting triple-digit rent increases Every. Fucking. Year.,
/FFS
I've found the first requirement for living someplace nice in California is the ability to suspend disbelief.

I'm playing the long game, and hope to have beachfront property just outside Bakersfield any year now….
Yuma or GTFO!
