meazza Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Cali!@#$ingfornia is off its rocker. http://m.ocregister.com/articles/beach-743100-beaches-people.html Funny I spend close to $5000 a year Canadian or $50 USD just so I could go to the beach for a few weeks. Could I get in on the action?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Cali!@#$ingfornia is off its rocker. http://m.ocregister.com/articles/beach-743100-beaches-people.html I'm sure once we have racial quotas for the beaches everything will be fine. Staying in beach towns costs an average $605 for a four-day stay Huh? What beach town in CA costs $600 for four days?? I dropped more than that in San Cruz and we were there all of 24 hours.

BringBackFergy Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Why not just give everyone a jar of sand and some coconut essential oils? Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 It's heartbreaking that we as Americans can't enjoy the sunny beaches of the French Riviera. Except for the wealthy few it remains an unattainable dream. The government should step in and provide the means for the majority of Americans to enjoy this natural beauty at affordable (i.e., free) rates.

Chef Jim Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Why stop at the beaches. California is loaded with beauty that make it the best state in the union IMO. Let's make it affordable to visit; Yosemite The desert The redwoods Wine countries (Napa, Sonoma, Monterey, Mendocino, Gold Country) High Sierrras Catalina The Channel Islands I lived 15 minutes from Laguna and the OC coast. Some of the most scenic coastal areas in the world. The cost for me to visit? Nothing. Because I lived there. Have I been to Yosemite? No. Why? Well part of it is I don't have the desire to spend the money to go (yeah I'm an idiot) but the last thing you'd hear from me wouid be petitioning the government to make it more affordable. One way to ruin some prestine areas is to open it up to poor people. They treat their own neighborhoods as garbage cans. Imagine what they'll do (and already do) to areas that they are just visiting.

IDBillzFan Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Apparently these elected officials have never been to the Santa Cruz boardwalk. Or walked around Santa Barbara Pier. Or pretty much visited any other public beach in CA. There has never, to my knowledge, been a shortage of poor Latinos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 This week, legislation was introduced in Sacramento aimed at fixing that problem. If passed, Assembly Bill 250 would direct the state Coastal Conservancy to develop new, low-cost accommodations and improve existing affordable accommodations, with the goal of making a trip to the beach more accessible for families that don’t have a lot of money and might have to travel far. OMG!!! NO! What next? Affordable health care? Why not just give everyone a jar of sand and some coconut essential oils? Problem solved. Oh sure, take my sand and GIVE it to someone that doesn't work hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 No silly. Affordable beach wear. You can't expect the poor to show up at the beach looking like this: They'd be laughed off the beach. Oh, the humanity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the OC and I agree....its almost like the elected officials NEED these people there. Have they been polled and asked, are they really dying to go to Dana Point and Newport Beach? Amazing how racist this article looks when you look at it from another angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I prefer Salt Creek beach. Much more private. Holy **** Orange County is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
