Is the current storyline about something “real”, or analogous to some current event?
It’s real.

"The California Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the constitutionality of the state’s Coastal Commission, averting a ruling that could have upended three decades of land-use decisions along the 1,100-mile coastline. "

"One of the most heated issues was the commission’s fight to force oceanfront to let the public cut across their property to reach the beach. Hollywood executive David Geffen fought unsuccessfully for three years to block public access to the beach next to his Malibu home.
The case reached the high court after two lower courts held that the commission was illegal in the way it was set up."
Thanks!
