Adult Only Beach Area

[theterrierman]

I think it's crap, frankly. Not the concept, but the age range. Most 16 year olds wouldn't be much of a disturbance, would probably just stick to one corner of the beach and throw frisbee. I mean, we're old enough to pay income tax, drive and have kids. You can share your beach with us.

According to the original article ...

"About a quarter of the city's nearly milelong beach is now for adults only."

That leaves about 3/4 of a Mile of Beach for "Frisbee & Makin Out" !
I think we ARE sharing the beach with you!

Nawwwww....I can see ya point C&S. But the real issue here is segregation within public places. If people want to go to a placew where they can be away from kids....there's plenty of private places like pubs etc etc.

As I mentioned earlier, even pubs/bars aren't sacred any more The fact is, there aren't plenty of places. Everything is geared towards kids or having them. Just look at the commercials, for instance. For that matter, look at the general section here. All kind of topics like breastfeeding, how dilated they were, have been posted there. It's brought up all the time that this is a family site. If I had a child, I don't know if I'd want them reading all that. A little off topic but trying to make a point.

Everything is geared towards kids?


Yeah, that's why I have to censor "family friendly" broadcasts by putting them on tape delay so I can fast forward through all the Cialis/viagra and other adult oriented commercials.

Stuff like this is usually motivated by the maximization of property value/tax base. If the (growing numbers of) boomers would rather live (and pay taxes) somewhere else than have their day off spoiled by rampaging shrieklings, this is one way of keeping these folks who were still around for the Fair Pay Days of Yore from moving out and taking their tax dollars elsewhere, leaving their homes to struggling young families whose financial needs are greater and their financial contribution less.

Well, im a kid over 10 so i dont make very much of a disturbence. I actually like the idea of a "Adult Only" area of beach. It gives me time to get away from my parents, except school.

[IRescue452]

Sounds good to me. I'd love more stores to be child-free for my shopping enjoyment, either that or we can reinstate spankings.

[catnapper]

I think its a fabulous idea. I am not a fan of the beach in general, but a private-adults-only beach offers a nice incentive for me to go rethink whether I like the beach or not.

Now, is there anything to do about sandflies, jellyfish, and seaweed?

[RICHARD]

Put the kids in the water and let them stay there?

The effing NIMBY's always get their way.

I just read a story about people who bought houses next to a golf course and sue the GC because balls hit their homes....

And while I do not believe that the two 80+ home owners should be in fear of their lives and property, I refuse to believe that they were too stupid to realize the danger.
