Private ownership of ocean access is harmful to our communities. Most forward-looking leaders around the world have barred privatization of water-access. This is the case in European nations such as Italy & Norway and states in the U.S. such as Oregon and North Carolina. It's time for MA to live up to our progressive reputation and change these regressive policies.

MA private property laws are discriminatory, elitist, and frankly disgusting. The Beach is for ALL. You bought waterfront property? Fine, but be prepared to share it with the public. You own the house and the lawn, not the view, the sand, the rocks, the water, the fish, the shells, or most importantly, THE ACCESS.

Many public beaches are becoming resident only or charging higher & higher rates each year. The ocean should not be “owned.” It should be shared. There is plenty of coastline in MA but most of it is private with houses blocking the view! They think beach goers block their view, but I believe their houses block views that should be shared. This would at least be a step in the right direction, although there are also these issues with gate keeping at the few public beaches in MA.
