Barring The Barrio From The Beach

Barrio Fence-1

This is how Carlsbad keeps people in Barrio Carlsbad from walking to the beach. We are one of the few coastal cities where living three blocks from the beach means a 10 minute drive. They claim this “rail trail” fence is to protect people from the trains that go honking by at 80 miles an hour, but we know. . .. it’s to keep housing prices down on one side of the fence. Maybe after someone buys up all the land in the barrio someone will have the startling idea that a bridge over the tracks will be a good idea. . . Hmmmmm.
