Our homes are taxed and much of that money is returned to Dana Point so that the city can function. I would rather see my tax dollars spent enhancing our community at large rather than contesting in court and protecting the very elite enclave on the Headlands. Development of the Headlands was the most controversial and contested issue that Dana Point has faced. Part of that was the promise to keep beach access for the community at large, which is in step with California law.
It is disturbing that our city is using our taxes to extend privileges to this privileged part of the community in opposition to the greater public welfare.
It was also disturbing that they used the sheriff’s department anecdotally to further prop up and support their argument when I’m sure (if this were true) statistics would confirm their criminal activity argument.
I urge our city to act in accordance with California law by keeping our beaches open to access. Strands is the gem of all beaches in this city. Keeping access open should be part of your public trust.
