City closing beach bathrooms is as dumb as it gets

Re “City closing bathrooms creates threat to public health” (June 12): The decision of the city to close many bathroom facilities at San Diego Bay and beach areas has to be the dumbest, most short-sighted idea our leaders have come up with in recent memory. How can San Diego call itself “America’s Finest City” when tourists and taxpaying citizens can’t even use the bathroom at the beach? All to save $500,000 or so.
