California set to seize 1,100 miles of coastline

Once he leaves office and it’s the NAU, do you think he’ll use that border for something beside the wall, the real estate magnate that he is?

I’m just wondering why a billionaire would want to be president. Other than to say he was.

I think Trump is a Patriot.
It is a known fact that Calif is toilet, we should pay or force Mexico to take it back.
 
Governments love taking private land, they will sit on it for a few years
then lease it to Casino Builders or something else to feed the State.

DONALD TRUMP VOTER, TEXAS BORDER RESIDENT FEARS TRUMP GOVERNMENT WILL SEIZE LAND FOR WALL

A Texas resident who voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election expressed fear that his proposed border wall plan will seize her land.

Several residents and founding members of Roma, Texas told the Los Angeles Times how their fight against Trump's border wall and the U.S. federal government reminds them of how their ancestors fought against Spanish rule along the Rio Grande hundreds of years before. One resident, Maria Guadalupe “Lupita” Rios, 60, said she voted for Trump in 2016 in order to keep illegal immigrants out, but now she is worried her land will simply be seized to make way for the billion dollar project.

“They can’t leave us on the Mexican side,” said Rios, a Democrat who voted for Trump. "This is our land."

Trump has a well-established history of affection for eminent domain use and abuse. Most famously, he hounded an elderly widow, Vera Coking, in Atlantic City to give up her house so he could build a limousine parking lot for the now-failed Trump Taj Mahal casino. Coking refused, and with the help of the nonprofit Institute for Justice (IJ), she won her case.

That was in 1998. Seven years later, another case went to court in which a developer once again sought to use eminent domain to confiscate privately-held land for private building purposes. IJ again worked to defend against what amounts to state-facilitated theft, but this time the bandits won. That case was Kelo v. New London, and in the good company of about eight in 10 Americans, conservatives and libertarians were pissed.

But Trump loved it. "I happen to agree with it 100 percent," he said of the Kelo majority in an interview on Fox. His illogic was simple: If the government wants the development to happen, it should happen.

"If you have a person living in an area that's not even necessarily a good area, and government, whether it's local or whatever, government wants to build a tremendous economic development, where a lot of people are going to be put to work and make [an] area that's not good into a good area, and move the person that's living there into a better place — now, I know it might not be their choice — but move the person to a better place and yet create thousands upon thousands of jobs and beautification and lots of other things, I think it happens to be good."

Govt taking private property? I bet you wouldn't be able to find toilet paper in California grocery stores :)
 
Are we anti eminent domain this week? I didn't get the memo.

This always struck me as a really dumb, petty argument about the wall.. most people who use the argument seem to be totally fine with eminent domain in any other case.. except when Trump wants to use it for a fence.

They aren't building a fence on the edge of their property, they are taking usable property - in some cases property that has infrastructure on it. Based on lies. At least with illegal immigrants, there is an honest, straightforward reason to keep them out based on facts and evidence.. And they aren't taking usable property, they are fencing off the property.

Come to my castle where I have invested my own money and labor. I fully support the 2A, we’ll discuss it over tea.

As for the rest of Liberty people on the board, I won’t speak for them. That would depend on how dear they hold Free Market principles and Property Rights to their hearts, and if it doesn’t personally affect fruits of their own labor.

Without ending incentives at the minimum, that wall is moot and anti-liberty, a “bandaid” solution for a government-created problem.

The wall is nothing without killing ALL incentives, but killing all incentives is nothing without a wall,
the worst of the worst don't need 'classical incentives' to come here and commit atrocities on our communities.

And the leeches only need our superior wealth to draw them here.

Which reminds me of he hordes of day laborers at home depot, when I used to contract in
orange co, that would never stop by 'cutting incentives' .
I was not for a wall initially, but after time I began to see points made by others and concluded
that we need a concerted pkg, there is not 'one' simple solution to the problem , it is complex.

I prefer heavy patrols on the border to a wall but a wall is better than nothing.
Liberty creates wealth, wealth attract leeches and leeches destroy liberty.
We have run out of new places to create liberty so our only option is to keep out the leeches.

Of course they completely ignore the fact that California is on the edge of a fault line, which means there is movement unrelated to any changes in the actual sea level. Many homes built on the ocean do have to be condemned because they fall into the ocean because they are on sedimentary rock bluffs that erode over time. Global warming isn’t really the issue when it comes to erosion.
 
The sea level has risen approximately 4-8 inches in the last 100 years...

At the current rate, it would rise about another foot in the next 100 years.

The whole idea we need to prepare for 3-6 feet sea level rise in the next 100 years is really not justified imo.. and I have even read locally that some 'experts' and governments expect it to rise that much in the next 30 years!!

well, according to AOC the planet has only 12 years left.
