FYI ... I'm a paraglider and visit/fly South Elings most weeks and have been for the last 3-4 years. The PDF of the Draft EIR is here on the Elings website:

Be patient with slow connections; it's a big file with maps and photos.
The only problem I've encountered was that with the increased use from BMXers and others, some idiots with big trucks drive off-road and 4-wheel in the dirt areas. But, hey, stupidity and vandalism isn't confined to kids on bikes. Arguably with more eyes from more people, there might be less destruction even though there are more people.
Seems to me there is room for reasonable people to share the park. It's been working so far.

Wow. That was as mealy mouthed as it gets. So ... more studies ... more meetings ... more money ... more process. Lordy just make a freaking decision and deal with the consequences one way or the other. It's no wonder people think so little of politicians. LEAD, LADY, LEAD.

... having attended a number of board meetings my impression was that it was all show ... call and response between Bertrando and chumps in the crowd ... obviously staged responses ... personal slights to those who weren't there ... wild accusations of criminality ... "let's sue em" chants .... You know the same ol same ol Water District hi-jinks of very ambitious, very small minded people running a little public agency like a dysfunctional family.

If Bob Haller says they need it and the Plan is sound ... well then every self described environmentalist in this community ought to help make it happen.
To do otherwise? To find yourself on the other side of Haller's judgment about what's best for botany, gardens, and our community? I cringe in embarrassment for you.

Comparing development projects by density and height is about as useful as thinking Clint Eastwood and I are equally good looking because we are about the same weight and height.
It aint' the mass, its how it's distributed.

... if you are surprised a county building inspector did not show up when called, you haven't built anything.
Anyway, the Garden is my neighborhood park and it shouldn't be messed up with a bunch crappy looking art attracting tacky tourists who park in front of my house.

When are folks going to get a clue that restoring nature is more important than lawns for beer-bellied locals and sweaty tourists?
A worthless old pier with aging layabouts wasting time is not worth defending in comparison to the beauty of the slough and its birds.
Kudos to EDC and the Coastal Commission. It's time for the over priced restaurant, silly playground, and useless lawn manage their retreat into the ocean!

... wait long enough and there won't be any Garden left to bother residents or volunteers.

Spring comes to the Garden:
NIMBYs and lawyers grow ... investments wither ... gardeners trimmed .... Ah yes, the rancor of the neighbors bears such sweet fruit, but only for them.

... Huh, naked 2-7 year-olds climbing 125-foot cliffs as part of some sort of unlicensed outdoor child-care program? But it's cool 'cause its all wildernessy and naturey and stuff like that. And it's DSS that are "stupid," "nutjobs" and "pinheads"?
Sounds like a well intentioned lady and all, but I expect better judgment from those who take care of my kids, and a lot better judgment from those that take care of your kids.
