It is insanely exclusionary - they also like to take over / own a lot of the parks.
What a lot of the towns will do is post no street parking signs that are weekend only no street parking near all trailheads to any parks. This will be miles of no parking on super wide roads with big pullouts.
It's really pretty funny unless you have to walk the 2 miles to get the the (public) park or trailhead.
So lots of ways of taking the public goods and privatising them up there for sure!
- asdff 5y agoThis happens regularly all over california and it is the most dissappointing part of this state. We need more campgrounds and trailhead parking. Having like a 10 car lot for a trailhead is unacceptable, pathetic even. Closer to where I live, in the Palos Verdes peninsula, residents fight to remove public parking near beaches or trails all the time, and they tend to win these disputes. It's such a sad state of affairs how the rich can abuse our public resources to such a degree in this state.
- slownews45 5y agoI don't particularly care that they do it but what is absolutely comical is that where I am its the very very LIBERAL folks doing it (who are also rich). You'll have like 5,000 acres of park, they'll shrink the parking to 10 car lot, then they will do a weekend ban on parking on the side of the street all the way to trailhead.
