Discussion She almost ruined a proposal.

This was at Crescent Bay Point Park, which allows people to book it special occasions.

"It's for people that live here" -- she 100% believes in her little mind that she owns it or at least entitled to it.

"People that live here" means white people in her mind.

The irony of a white lady yelling at Mexican-Americans to get out.

Google the history of California. It was Mexico up until 1848.

The truth of the fact is noone picnics there, its never used. Noone ever thinks of using it, but now its under some vague threat that she feels she has to respond to incase she wants her dog to shit there

No, there is partial validity to her belief…

How so?

The city does maintenance and repair of the landscaping and other natural scenery. The city is almost completely funded by town property taxes. Since local residents pay the property taxes, don't you think that the residents are entitled to the use of it?

Sure, everyone should have a right to use it. No one should have exclusive right to it though. If the city wants to make it exclusively for residents, they should privatize it. Hell, change the city charter to an HOA model and put a gate around it if you want. Until then, it’s public, and out of towners will be sullying your town with their presence.

Folks really think they can go buy a home in one of the most beautiful coastlines on earth and not be bothered by other folks wanting to engage with the wonder.

You have the right to use It if you pay taxes yes, but you cant decide Who use It and when since is not your land, you are paying for its maintenance. I might be wrong because I'm not American and your laws change from state to state.

I was only asking morally. I know the answer legally. I'm just asking to see what people's opinions are.

don't you think that the residents are entitled to the use of it?

  1. What makes you think the people having the wedding aren't local residents?

  2. The karen is perfectly able to still use the park. Other people existing there is not a valid reason to cry foul. In fact, she appears to have been able to successfully walk her dog without issue...or at least, without any issue that she isn't the direct cause of. The guests at the park are not impeding walkways or being rowdy.

  3. Last but not least, let's be clear, this park DOES allow events including weddings. It's so petty and small-minded to be gatekeeping a public park because you apparently hate mexicans and don't want to hear mexican music at a wedding. Playing devil's advocate here isn't a good look. The karen is 100% unarguably in the wrong.

u/Sticky_Key_Purgatory 5h ago

You think that only the people who fund the city should get to use the amenities?

You heard the man, we're shutting down los vegas.

u/_teach_me_your_ways_ 2h ago

Bet he’d whine if you needed to show ID to enter the park. How else does he expect to keep the others out?

u/WritersChopBlock 1h ago

Las Vegas?

That comparison doesn't make sense.
