Lake Elsinore officials crackdown on crowds flocking to see poppies in bloom 

They wanna use the budget money for themselves rather than using it for the community (in a constructive way like you stated), so while it's good in theory in reality local government doesn't care. If anything, they'd be more than happy to continue making steps to erase the concept of public land and have it morph into "we, the government, can deem when you can access YOUR land."

@@LizBiscuit1306 If we had unfettered access to "our land" we would trash it, just like we do to every other place we're given free reign. Then you would complain that we have no nice places to visit because the government doesn't care.

That's me, I'm the crybaby. I wish officials would crack down on crime and street take overs instead of worrying about flowers. It's so sad, enough to make me wanna cry.

99% respect the land, this is just California being stupid and restrictive as usual.

More than just traffic. Littering and trampling of the flowers occurred too. It was a matter of some inconsiderate people ruining it for the rest of us. If you want to get mad at someone, get mad at those people.

@@thefox47545 then just fine and ban those few people who were causing issues. Why give authority to these retards in the city hall to shut down one of the few reasons corona and Elsinore is even known for. That’s like Rome shutting down tours to the colleseum but even worse because super blooms only happen every so few years.

@@MediCali951 I call it the land of the living dead.

Exactly, looks like these so called officials don't want to do their jobs. Lazy government.

Exactly

China should ban Great Wall tours. Surely it would keep citizens of china and tourists safe.

Pathetic

Elsinore got a new task force called POPPY PATROL HAHAHAHAAHHA

@@jacksonrelaxin3425 i know right? people are getting murdered stabbed robbed. God forbid someone gets to sniff some flowers. its great that the authorities got their priorities straight.

@@patrickstreasuresshop I understand the need to respond but this is pretty much the most scummy way of going about it. Instead of making money for charging admission they just block it off. It would be like shutting down the grand Tetons. Who t f do these ppl think they are

@@jacksonrelaxin3425 they need to be reminded who they work for and who pays their salary

yeah cause like you heard ppl ruin the fun for others, do to littering, stomping on where they grow, making a mess w parking where you can't. if these humans followed these simple rules we wouldn't have these issue's its common sense not your backyard

They come to see nature then drop trash on the ground. I don't get it.

Carmen Gasca You'll see far worse in West Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, and Mississippi.

@@dippitydab8270 oh couse so cal cares so much about littering. Have you been to LA lately?

@@patrickstreasuresshop La county is another story my guy. This is lake Elsinore

They also leave trash everywhere, trespass and block driveways, stomp on the flowers, and ruin landscape. It's not worth it.

@@boardcertifiable are you a small business owner? Or do you actually work in Lake Elsinore? If not I’m not sure you can say, “it’s not worth it.”

We get them too but it's too early. We also got 17" of rain in one day & are still recovering.

Stay home don't come to Elsinore

Hopefully them closing helps the land recover without dumb people throwing garbage everywhere and trampling the flowers.

Public land is no longer public.

the problem is that the public doesn't just use land ...they abuse the land ..i have been there.. people dont use the trail ...they have to walk through the flowers ..they leave their empty plastic water bottle. Candy wrappers ..cigarette butts thrown about ! people take nature for granted !

That's what I'm saying "public lands" these tyrants are out of control!

Imagine getting arrested for trespassing on public land

come to our city and trample on our flowers and I will make sure you never come back

The I - 15 has grown so much . .

Let me guess it's been run by democrats for a while

They'll continue being fascists and claim it's all theirs anyways

This is a public area. This is simply a strategic meltdown and the officials rather not deal with than deal with. Your trends comment is grossly displaced as there have always been flower enthusiast here in the west let alone this is a tourist attraction that bring in economic funds. When you work for the government, you understand that this is a precursor and will later be used as a metric to reduce nature funding in the future due to it projecting that the trails will not be used as much in the future. Politics and chess go hand in hand.

@@UpUpDnDnLtRtLtRtBAStart I’ve been going for over 6 years and every year was complete chaos aside from the parking people would dump trash and poop 💩 so while I enjoy nature let’s be real people ruined this experience not the city or cops

There was a designated hiking trail but people still took their own needs and desires and did not follow the trail.

I highly doubt people just show up to look at in person. All people want to do is get that social media picture.

I mean you have to see it in person to take a picture so why not lol 2 birds 1 stone

Thank all the social media influencers

@@Jaywill2687 IKR sheep 🐑

Influencers trampled them in the past few years, if you can’t behave like a civilized adult, then you can’t get in

They are just brainless ephebophilia

They did that and nobody listened. This is the consequence of their actions.

That's how Democrats fix Things by ignoring them.

So they should give people tickets for parking on the side of the freeway get the CHP involved

It’s public land though 🤦‍♂️

Yes it’s public land but it’s still land that needs to recover from the monstrosity of the people who trampled over it. These are the consequences when people put their needs over the needs of the land.

Its easier to close off everything so the officials don't have to do their jobs.

Lake Elsinore is just a place for the ephebophilia

America is free until people start screwing it up, ruining it for the rest of us. Freedom can have consequences. Freedom isn't free, gotta play by the rules or it gets taken away.

Welcome to the communist people’s republic of california

you dont pay taxes here because you dont live here. As a resident, I would much rather you go home instead of trampling on our poppy fields

PUBLIC LANDS, please visit!

Unfortunately, this announcement and the delivery, makes your town sound very unfriendly...especially the part about booking people who come to see the flowers and putting them in jail. There are so many ways to enable people to enjoy the unique and natural beauty in your area without this confrontational approach. I live in Japan and have seen how they accommodate for large numbers of people who come to see cherry blossoms, festivals, etc. Buses pick up people from designated parking areas to avoid congestion into the desired location. Rope is placed along pathways, volunteers guide people where they should or should not walk. So many different and welcoming ways around this when thinking outside the box...

@@kristinab1078 this has been going on for years and the city has tried to place signs so people know to stay on the trails. I’ve seen two years in a row where people park on the side of the I15 and cars are driving very fast so it’s a dangerous situation. Also people were leaving trash and some people were pooping there. And just check instagram, you can see all the people laying on top of the flowers for selfies. I don’t blame the city for doing this because they really did try to open the area but people who were there did not respect nature.

Only an ephebophilia can be Happy with this insane decision

I live there several years and it was chaos some people would even defecate on site due to the lack of bathrooms. There were signs asking the public to remain on the trails but the people preferred to trample the flowers for instagram pictures. This is why they closed it as a last resort.

@@meep2253 that’s why a more organized approach is needed…

@@nh6870 I agree with you as it would solve issues with waste and trash but as for trampling and destroying the area I think that has to come from us as good citizens to take care of nature because good infrastructure will still be destroyed by vandals and people who don’t follow the rules.

Rangers can't stop people slowing/stopping on the freeways to look at the flowers They can't stop people from boxing in others with their cars when parking They can't be positioned every 100 feet which is what would be necessary People who don't get out in nature much don't know how to respect it.

Yeah because people don’t know how to respect nature they want to step all over the flower and wanna act like weirdos over a bunch of flowers. you just see them from far away you don’t have to go up to them and ruin them.

You have idiots everywhere no excuse

Lol....then the Glenda the good witch will cause it to snow and they'll wake up😉

No it won’t.

No, this was 2019. Before the covy

Lol my favorite way they sold this wrecklas scheme was attempting to sell us that yhe tens of thousands shut out were no more than social media whores looking for a pretty screen shot to post on social media

They're not that kinda poppies
