    The problem us that private seawalls have the effect of destroying public beaches, which is why California restricts them.

      I see, there are different ways to do them. In some ways, the public will need to fund some seawall construction to protect roads and reduce erosion overall. Highway 1 in CA is a good example. But, there are also plenty of examples of people who built homes dangerously close to the ocean and when a big storm rolls in, they get wrecked.
