Please let us keep our nice things :(
I walk along the waterfront a LOT (and pick up as much "easy" litter as I can... beer cans and coffee cups etc)... but the "willful destruction" stuff I see drives me crazy. These photos are from May 12. Someone took ceramic dinner plates down to the boardwalk , between the boat launch and the pier, and smashed them on the rocks there.
There is also broken glass all over the walkway between the lifeguard station and the beach... obviously an amazing thing to do right where tons of people will be walking in bare feet soon.
and an older one.... but I see that the city just tried to fix it.. but dating back to last fall... as soon as the city laid down sod along the new walkway area near Couch Beach, some idiot took his truck and burned skid marks all over the place, tearing the new dirt and grass all up.
Drives me absolutely crazy.
and this post is NOT meant to imply City staff aren't getting to these things fast enough. I don't believe that to be the case. This is just frustration at people destroying what we should be cherishing and protecting.
