Encroachment at Carlsbad

My wife (in pink) walks down to the beach from the street level, eventually past one of the MANY condo complexes built right up to the beach, in Carlsbad, Ca. Kind of sad when you see it up close, really.

Yes sad, but all of what you've seen was built pre-1972 and has not been happening since then when the coastal protection referendum passed.
