  1. "500 feet from persons or property" is the basic FAA altitude law. This means, theoretically, you can fly 2 feet high if you are above open land, even if that land is not yours. Here "property", means buildings, cars, etc. Does anyone actually do that? Well, outside of crop dusting, I know of pilots that like to go out into the desert and fly "on the deck", low to the ground.

  2. There used to be private beaches when I was a kid (I'm 65). One such owner in LA had the city come out and rip out the fences with tractors after they refused to remove them.
