Season's Gratings... er, Greetings


Nothing says holiday cheer like locked gates, does it? The kind folks on Kailuana Loop live on a public street that is maintained with taxpayers' money to provide them with sidewalks, streetlights, a nice paved road, and sewers. Yet they lock the public out with this lovely spiked gate. You can park legally on that street, but if you want to surf Castle's you have to double back to the public beach access instead.

They also lock out volunteers who clean up "their" beach area by Castle's, forcing the volunteers to haul collected trash longer distances to be picked up. That's gratitude for you.

Our Christmas wish: that homeowners on beachside lanes would at least leave the gates open during the day since most of the problems they complain about occur at night. Thus far, their response has been, "Bah, humbug!"
