"Absent Squatters": How Billionaires Are Killing The Beach

The change came suddenly. Once it did, it was a sad day in the neighborhood.

See, for years we had been enjoying an unofficial easement that split distance to the nearest beach access paths in half. Not only did it save time, it was a place that our crew would gather to watch the waves and talk before and after surfs. 

This took place on one of the lesser known coasts of Hawai'i. A place where several good waves exist with much smaller crowds. Not exactly a secret but not exactly a place to be named here either.
