“He’s become the caricature of the rich guy trying to keep people out, and that gives the Coastal Commission a lot of pleasure,” Mr. Pasternak said. But, he added, “I don’t think he’s doing this for money. I really don’t think he’s doing this out of greed.”
“All they said was he has to apply for a permit, and he says, ‘[Expletive] you, I’m not going to apply at all,’” Mr. Pasternak said. “It’s kind of — I mean, he’s awfully sure of himself. You could say he’s principled.”
A grudging admission, to be sure. I have to say I stand with Vinod.
