Private ownership of coastal lands gets quite complicated because there needs to be access to the beaches. So you have people tramping over your lands. Additionally, in California it is not legal to build anything new which blocks visual access or makes the scenery less pretty, and that includes lovely beach houses.

I do totally agree that there should be no disaster relief for reconstruction of properties which have been destroyed by wind or water or other natural disaster in areas which should not really have been inhabited in the first place (like most of southern California).
