IMHO it was a stupid way to spend money and he shouldn’t have done it without proper permits, however Big Sur isn’t a national park, the area was privately owned, but still under the jurisdiction of the Coastal Commission and the County.

Redwood Nat’l Park is up near the Oregon border. Big Sur is south of Monterey.

I’m not sure about the provenance of the photos, but at least one source has said the “before” picture is actually the venue after the construction was returned to its original state.

Corrected the location, but the location effected was still under environmental protection according to the California Coastal Commission.

Yep, it was. As I said, it was stupid, but not quite as bad as it is being portrayed-he did return the site to its original condition and had biologists consult on the whole project.
I think the real issue is the ‘I have money and can do anything I want without permission’ attitude, not the actual damage or lack thereof.

Too bad the trees didn’t come to life and eat them. It would have been more authentic if Tom Bombadil insulted them in comic verse.

Sean Parker’s Life Has Descended Into Hell, Says Sean Parker.

You monsters. Shame on you. A Facebook billionaire wants to nudge a few redwoods in the comfort of his own forest, and you think less of him for it? I’m disgusted—and so is Sean Parker, who says he’s being “spat upon” and “hunted” by “psychopaths” ever since he got hitched.
