The Ranch to get public access?

100% this. It's also based on "eat the rich" type of feelings people have now. But what the coastal commission wants and what it gets are two separate things. Someone I know had a long talk with them on the phone last week. The CC is shooting for the moon and being as greedy as possible, but many of their wants are totally unrealistic and not possible.
All the retards will go flood the ranch spots that hold 8 people for a 4 second ride and the underground spots on the gaviota coast will be empty.
I thought Scott Bass explained it well in the last episode of Spit. No one would care about the coastline in the ranch if there were no waves there. If there were no waves and it had all the public access in the world, no one would go there because there is lots of other coastline exactly the same. He explains how the law applies to Hollister ranch because they developed residential property on it and sub-divided. While the Bixby ranch never did that so the same rules don't apply there.
He also made a good point about people who have grown up as Ranch locals being some of the most miserable people he's ever met.

Be careful, I just mentioned a spot on Bixby and I got a 10 day ban.
To answer your question, no it will not be opened to the general public. For research and scientific purposes only according to the Director. I spent the day there getting a tour of the place. One of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. I'm glad it won't be open for the idiots to ruin.
I saw you mention your day trip a few weeks ago when you were at some shin dig in SB....glad you got to visit. We had camping passes for 15 years before the sale. I'm sure if you donate enough $$ to the Nature Conservancy you'd likely get some special treatment re a visit.
It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out.
I've already heard that property values are dropping up there....and there's some selling due to this situation.
Know a few folks who own 12ths....got it in the 80s for relatively low cost....so not everybody is filthy rich up there. That's a huge misconception. And the comments about unhappy locals? Really? Shoots...there's unhappy locals at almost every major spot in the world...get over it....the HR guys are no different than at any other spot.
Did the crowds ruin Jalama? Does access ruin the lost coast? Did Point Dume get ruined when they put in the State Park access and stairs?
Most Ranch spots are already pretty crowded at certain times. If you have an HR sticker you can score the goods during off-hours sessions, though.
Drive-ins are gonna get their cars vandalized. It'll be like going out at the Silver Strand with an "I LA" bumper sticker and a CSUN parking permit in your windshield.

The state of California can’t even take care of the parks they already have or keep the lights on for that matter.
This is pure class warfare BS that’s been orchestrated for some time now as evidenced by the L.A. Times and other “news media’s” sudden intense interest in the ranch. (I guess Chouinard and the rest of the Lear jet liberals didn’t write big enough checks to commissar Newsome)
Like others have said If you want to surf there bad enough you can make it happen with a little effort.
I guess next there will be an escalator down to Black’s- after all the state/UCSD maintains the locks and the road.

He had a rough time. I first met Jackson surfing at the tomato patch (Grandview) in ‘71/‘72, before his first wife put herself on the 86 list. This song is about that experience
He hung out with us in the Stone Steps hood, pretty reasonable fella.
I saw where Connor Coffin, whose family owns land @ the Ranch, was blaming on the thieving white race. LOL.
