1. Soon, the Coastal Commission will hear an appeal of a rope barrier permit across Children’s Pool Beach; to be every day forever. You may recall approving a permit for cordoning off that public beach 5 months out of the year. That was not enough. The San Diego is coming back. It is not showing the other card yet – the legal closure of the beach it voted for but will not bring forward with this measure.

2. This is “Shared Use” in the summer. Seals stay cool on the rocks, sleep on the sand at night.

3. This is a public beach, protected by the Public Trust Doctrine, its own trust, and the Local Coastal Plan

4. This is shared use with a perpetual rope to create a buffer on sand too hot for seals to lie on during the day

5. San Diego is helpless in the grip of a propaganda machine operating with impunity in the Coastal Overlay Zone

6. The City allowed the violation of several laws and unpermitted businesses on the sidewalk to gather money for their cause – preventing public access to a trusted beach, using seals as pawns.

7. When the activists didn’t get an emergency rope established in May They sued the Mayor to make him ignore the City Attorney who had stated emergency findings could not be made. The judge dismissed their case 3 times. If there was no emergency, there was no danger. If there is no danger, then why must we have a public beach only to look at from behind a rope? Who are these people?

8. Can’t we just all get along?

9. The rope is needed so the vigilantes do not have to work so hard to clear the beach
