California coast faces Prop 20 vote amid land use clash
California activists rally behind Proposition 20 to set a five mile coastal zone and a 1000 yard inland permit system overseen by a state commission and six regional panels. Opponents from real estate and oil sectors spend millions to portray conservationists as elitists while arguing it would halt development and threaten private property. The ballot measure follows a national pattern of coastal battles as lawmakers, citizens, and industry run campaigns and counter campaigns.
