Beachfront Property

Justices debate rights of beachfront land owners

This article is about ocean front owners who are suing the state of Florida for taking away their property. Basically the sate has brought in sand to renew the beaches and after renewing them claiming the replenished beach as state property. The author has a point when he states that the owners paid a lot of money to buy the ocean front property and the state should not be able to take that away.

But, on the other hand, the state paid to renew those beaches through the people’s tax dollars and therefore the public should indeed have access the those beaches. So far the state has ruled in favor of Florida and the case has been appealed to the supreme court. I believe that the property should belong to the people who paid good money to own the ocean front property, what do you think?
