Good-bye, easy walking to Del Mar beach
Like just about every story on this issue this one does a very bad job of examining the risks posed by the tracks. The NCTD numbers, which this reporter takes verbatim, fails to separate suicides from accidents. The vast majority of deaths are suicides and fencing will not stop that. I've been crossing the tracks and walking the bluffs for 40 years and somehow I've survived. Not a single surfer has ever been killed. And Visduh's long winded "history" misses the point. NCTD should not have the right to wall off the beach. And I would encourage reporters in the future to examine the number the agency cites. They have been lying for years and the media just sucks it up.— September 29, 2020 3 p.m.
