Your last sentence is a strawman argument.
After all your description sounds somehow safe, the problem would still be a ton accelaterated in public space which has nothing to do with free climbing
- WalterBright 4y agoThings were different in those days. It was the peak of American car culture. Kids got their driver's license on their 16th birthday, not well into their 20's like today. Driving a cool car was a top priority, and teens all got jobs mostly to finance a car. Heck, I was doing burnouts in the driveway before I had a license :-) Naturally, they'd race them. All over the place. By informally setting aside a safe boulevard at night for them to express those urges, the idea was things would be more safe, not less, and the cops could keep an eye on it to keep things from getting out of hand. After the cops were forced to shut it down, it went back to being distributed around the city in a much less safe manner.
