Really think about the loss of access in the aggregate. Restrictions based upon resident only access. The b.s. privatization of roads that were built, plowed, and maintained by public tax dollars. The rise of exclusive waterfront neighborhoods without street parking. Nighttime parking restrictions for no real reason. Closures due to complaints by residents without evidence. The illegal blocking, or privatization of roadways leading to historical-right-of ways.
In the bird protection areas and the recent restrictions placed upon access to the National Seashore areas, sure they were the impetus. But how much of the striper coast consists of National Seashore?
To pin it on the environmentalists, and to paint them as the greatest threat, is a gross over-simplification of the issue in its totality.
