Isn't this exactly what private property is? You don't have to be particularly wealthy to own land, and keeping the peasants off of it does not seem controversial.
Is the area near the ocean special? As well as some kinds of wilderness? Well, maybe. I'm from a land-locked place which was almost 100% owned and occupied for hundreds of miles so limits on private ownership anywhere are a bit of a foreign cultural concept.
I have no problem at all with a state restricting ownership near an ocean and enforcing it, I just don't think it's a self-evident inalienable right.
>You don't have to be particularly wealthy to own land,
I disagree with this point, it is untrue for a great deal of Americans and especially those without families to band together to get property.
To that point, that is precisely why I am opposed to private property at all, but I recognize that's an unpopular idea. My main objective is, why are there peasants at all? I don't believe its a requirement at this technology level.
>Is the area near the ocean special?
It's special enough for California, Oregon, and many countries, to have laws that specifically make all beaches public property. I feel similarly about any stretch of wilderness, and so too does the United States, enough to cordon off thousands of acres for national parks. They probably need borders because it's easier to draw a line around what a beach is than "stretch of wilderness."
