Moonlight Beach, Grassy Park instead of Sand?




Today we are voting on local props F & G. Prop F will tax short term rentals and prop G will allocate 2% of that tax to Moonlight Beach summer sand replenishment.
Encinitas Prop F and G Roundup

I was thinking the other day, maybe that money should go to maintaining a mini-park at Moonlight Beach instead of that itchy sand they truck in. I think it would be nice to have a green area between the lifeguard towers.

  1. No on F & G.

    Cut salaries, benefits, giant fire stations, lay off staff.

    NO MORE TAXES!!!
    All these props allow is more waste, waste, waste.

    NO ON F&G!!!

  3. I love the grassy park idea. It reminds me of Downtown La Jolla Park by Prospect.

  4. Actually Moonlight Beach used to have grassy areas in the 50's and 60's, I remember them well. We were here before all of the jerk off liberal tree hugging new combers came and incorporated it into the great City. Just think how nice it was to be able to smoke have a cold beer while walking along and enjoying the beach. The City motto should be NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Leave your freedom and liberties outside our politically correct City.

  5. Wow, littering the beach with beer bottles and cigarette butts back in the 50's?! You're so indigenous.

    ..and really, really old.

  6. I am an old timer and a tree hugger.

    Not all of us old farts are bitter grumps that hate trees like 4:26.

  8. There would still be sand at the actual beach, the current area between the lifeguard towers is basically an artificial kitty litter box with imported river sand.

  9. 6:17 Who said anything about littering?That was a real leap,you automatically equate freedom with not caring for the enviroment. You are obviously a liberal.I love trees I also love open spaces,there were many open areas berore we were invaded by your sorry butt showed up.

  10. 8:53,
    Unless you have Luiseño blood in your veins, you're an invader too.


    I remember waaaay back in the 70's slicing my foot open on an aluminum can pull tab (remember those?). I also remember cigarette butts sticking out of the sand like an ashtray.

    The problem is, when enough people abuse the freedoms they have by acting irresponsibly there is no recourse but to impose restrictions.

    Oh yeah, dig the grass idea btw.

  13. How bout sodding the entire beach city wide?

  14. The sand there is putrid, but would grass be much better?

  15. if you put in grass, all the Dog People will bring their pooches every morning and evening to pee and poop. I don't care if they do bring a plastic bag, they still leave poop remnants on the grass for kids to roll around on. If you do grass, better have strict dog restrictions.
