The illegal street vendors have taken over the boardwalk and I’m a bit pissed about it.

where is this? no offense man...but aguas frescas and esquites on the beach? FUG YEAH! Add bacon wrapped hot dogs to the mix and i'm there. sounds like a slice of heaven. it might even **** off enough people to detour them from surfing out front. win-win game.

Transfer of wealth by utilizing a public right of way. As of now, that would not stand around here, but at least a few hundred thousand brave souls are paving the way for the inevitable. I would think more people would be willing to fight to protect such a valuable resource but times they are a changing and we'll soon all be in the same handbasket, speaking different languages at that. Back in the late 80's it was a $500 business license and lack of insurance keeping my sister from hawking her tie-dyes. People who owned the head/t-shirt shops are now pillars of the community comparatively speaking. So much change in my lifetime alone, I'm glad I won't have to see how all this turns out. Chicken Little Audi_5 brah.

I've been looking for horse sh!t cigarettes and Mexican jumping beans and I haven't been able to find them anywhere. Not to mention Chiclets and Chango the surfing monkey.

This is what our beaches/boardwalk have turned into.

The skelton pop up tents **** me off to no end. They have chained them together and to the cement railing structure permanently 24/7 to claim their space. Public Nuisance And hazard, along with restricting access to beach entrances.

I Totally agree
I may bring up if I'm present a public comment part of the August CCC meeting in Calabassas.

The Coastal Commission should be pissed about this

Alright, hey, leave taco trucks out of this

No kidding. I don't know how it works out there, but here in NC, the enforcement arm of CAMA (Coastal Area Management Act) seems to have a bigger muscle than any government. Nothing happens along the beach without their ok and they move swiftly when needed. Hard to believe all that goes on unchecked, guess there are squeakier wheels?

had a student this year who was coming to school with big bags of candy and snacks and selling to the other kids during breaks, I told him that they won't let him sell stuff at school. sure enough couple days later the admins called him in and he told them, he wasn't selling them, he gave them to his friends and the AP asked him, "whats with all the money?"
He tells the AP with a straight face, "they give me tips".
After I retire I'm gonna work for this kid part time.. lol

More like a culture of apologism and tolerance for vagrancy

 

[Tarab_ish]

looks way more orderly in those pictures than what I was expecting from the description? like the people buying from those stands are just regular people/people in for the weekend right? looks like a farmer's market

here in sf on market street we have the more 'vagrant selling to vagrant' style of informal market -- like just sh!t laid on the sidewalk maybe on a crusty blanket. people like to get mad about it and take pictures of it to show to others to get mad about it, but I dunno, I cycle and walk through the city all the time and I have yet to actually be personally inconvenienced by anyone doing that.

I'll bet they have a bunch of vendors illegally selling the delicious bacon-wrapped Sonora dogs there in Mission Beach. I can get behind that.
