One Saturday afternoon, during the campaign to decide whether or not there
should be a Coastal Commission, I took a helicopter ride from Los Angeles
to San Diego. We passed several state beaches, some crowded and some
virtually empty. They had the same facilities, and in some cases the crowded
and the empty beach were within a quarter mile of each other. Obviously
many beach-goers prefer to be crowded together. Buying more beaches that
people won't go to because they prefer to be crowded together on one beach
is a ridiculous waste of our natural resources and our taxes.
