Rebuttal To The Argument Against Measure H

• The argument AGAINST MEASURE H fails to address the facts presented to the voters. Citizens of this town pride themselves on it’s beauty, location and earth centric character yet daily permit visitors to abuse it’s pristine nature;  

• Unacceptable numbers of illegal camp sites and camp fires take place in the dry sand on a regular basis, both weekend and weekdays;

• The public health and safety issue of no toilet facilities available to beach campers is still not being addressed;

• Human waste (feces, urine, vomit) left buried in the dry sand areas by campers at the bluffs is a far more serious health problem than visible trash and clutter.  It is eventually uncovered by higher tides or by future visitors;

• Continuing the "weekend only" ban on camping only serves to increase the number of weekday campers;

• Territory claimed by campers is not addressed, here is where disputes arise as some days there is to little dry sand;

• Beach areas at the base of the unstable bluffs have no posted warning signs of slide danger or danger from sneaker waves that could engulf sleeping campers. Calls for emergency services stretch our resources;

• Lets take back the Bolinas beaches and formalize the existing laws by demanding a 24 / 7 ordinance to prevent camping on these beautiful and fragile stretches of beach we all share. Please support this Measure. Take pride in our town. Show visitors that Bolinas cares.VOTE YES ON MEASURE H
