CA-1 is literally two blocks in the other direction, and more connected to other destinations. Why put a highway between people and the beach? We have roads like that all over the Boston area and no one likes them.

MODERATORS
I really hope they understand their mistake before bringing in some idiot who will repave it and put up a parking lot
They can't, the park was created by a referendum by the whole city, which passed last year with the more populace east side voting for it and the more suburban west side, where the park is, voting against. This recall was more about spite from the West siders mad that they lost and that their representative didn't back them then actually trying to change anything.
Those west siders are morons then, because surely their property values will go up significantly more having the park there than they would having a relatively unnecessary boulevard. People want to live near parks, not stroads covered in sand
Pave paradise to put up a parking lot
Been singing it for 60 years now
fueled by many of the same people who tossed out three liberal school board members and politically progressive San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin in 2022. Engardio, a crime victims’ advocate in his first term, supported those recalls and was elected that year to a seat on the city’s Board of Supervisors.
Live by the recall die by the recall
This is what happens when you elect a bunch of people cosplaying as leftists.
Engardio, a victim's advocate who turned a road into a park is cosplaying as a leftist? Why do you say that? There is such a weird thing about who's left and who isn't on this platform, and I'm really trying to understand it.
What does being a victims advocate have to do with anything? This is no different than the opinion that "all police are heroes." People's jobs don't define them as a person.
It was mentioned elsewhere that the closure was more about reducing the cost to keep the road clear of sand that was constantly blowing over it, he supported recalls of progressive legislators, and the OP article even lists him as a "moderate Democrat" which these days is to the right of Ronald Reagan.
There's nothing weird about calling people out for pretending to be something they aren't especially when that person wields power and influence over others and actively sabotages the very group they claim to represent. People believing that this guy is a leftist while working as a political figure in a town full of billionaires is what's weird.
We don't deserve people like this
We actually don't, the guy wasn't that progressive and was only advocating for it because the cost of renovating and maintaining that stretch of road was unjustifiable since the dunes constantly migrate and cover it.
The guy was actually more on the right by san francisco standards and got elected fear mongering on crime during the post blm reaction.
