🤔Everyone has known it was going to be a tourist shitshow. The city made it clear over a week ago that they had no intention of following State or County lockdown orders😡.
What's with all the complaining and,"shock & awe" now?
You can thank Rick Herrick,the mayor most of you voted for the last 4 terms🤔
Here's hoping our New Mayor does a better job🙏
Rebecca Jo Gaines
So glad we have a new mayor
Jey Allen
This sh*tshow is the same as every year, no big shocker, as far as large groups of rude mindless people anyway, only difference is the Covid many will be carrying, of course with the more than likely fresh snow there will be more stupidity based accidents and snow toy litter, AS USUAL, it shouldn't be as usual due to the safety restrictions, but it will be, as our current leadership only cares about money 💰, hopefully that will change with the incoming administration, but for now, buy your supplies early, before the 31st, stay away from crowded stores and locations where the maskless walking petre dishes congregate and we hopefully will be okay, don't forget to gas up, they WILL sell every drop to the tourists so get fuel before it's gone, just common sense stuff
Diane de Warren
Can't wait for our new mayor!
From what I read he has the locals' best interests on his agenda and not lining his own pockets 🙏🏼
Mike Rotman
I thought it was Frank and Larry who decided to approach the council with this, we are going to ignore the states order.l as long as it's single households only.
Dee Levey
Mike Rotman they are ignoring everything per usual
Linda Bettys
CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR ANY RESIDENT THAT GETS COVID!!! They are violating state regulation and putting peoples health in jeopardy. Any lawyers out there?
Dee Levey
Linda Bettys class actions lawsuits require a pro bono attorney. First I'd get a free consult. Our powers that be have already put a large amount of money together in anticipation of being sued.
Linda Bettys
What’s a human life worth??? There are plenty of hungry lawyers out there!!!
Dee Levey
Linda Bettys you don't want a "hungry" lawyer, better known as an ambulance Chaser. You want a damn good lawyer, who puts human safety first and is experienced in this pandemic and mandates. It's also helpful that they have a history of going up against cities, and mayors. You want somebody that knows what they're doing. Not all attorneys take Pro Bono Class Action Lawsuits. And it's not something you want to turn over to some inexperienced hungry attorney.
Linda Bettys
Has anyone paid attention to the line of ambulances in front of hospitals throughout California??? There is a several hour wait!!! I have several family in hospital and first responders; major trauma patients are sitting in ambulances, critical respiratory patients are sitting in ambulances!!! I’ve had my doubts about this whole thing, BUT ITS REAL!!! It time to protect our citizens!!!
Michelle Chambliss
I don’t understand when this started and we had way way less cases there were stricter restrictions, now it’s crowded AF and the pandemic is worse than its ever been. I get that we need to support local businesses and property owners need to pay bills but it’s wall to wall flatlanders up here !!!
Rebecca Jo Gaines
Michelle Chambliss it's packed out there.
Dee Levey
Michelle Chambliss it started shortly before Thanksgiving and has quickly become worse,sadly knowing that,our Powers that be have CONCIOUSLY and BLATANTLY chosen to VIOLATE the State and County lockdown
Michelle Chambliss
Rebecca Jo Gaines right? I thought they were not allowing vacation rentals for a couple of weeks?
Rebecca Jo Gaines
Michelle Chambliss omg I almost got hit 2 times and Moonridge is packed.
Lorie Linn
I would happily spend all my money in Big Bear. With all of the tourists, I haven’t been in town since April. I assume I am not alone. We have been shut off from our own town.
Diane Jones Simonds
Lorie Linn That's the saddest part. There have always been part time rentals up here and until the past couple of years we knew midweek was safe to go out traffic/crowd wise to run errands & support our local businesses. The new over saturation of STR property owners are running full time businesses 7-days a week, 365 days a year now in neighborhoods zoned as residential not commercial. I used to joke that if I wanted to live next to a Motel 6, I would have built next to one. Now, on second thought, hotels/motels Do Not put up with the crap we have to deal with: Parties till all hours, noise, people in spa after 10p, litter, loud music at all hours, etc. They are dealt with quickly, unlike us full timers taxpayers that have to wait hours on end for code enforcement to respond, if at all, to our calls.
Rebecca Jo Gaines
Diane Jones Simonds it's horrible on Holidays.
Sandy Tocalino
Lorie Linn me either! It’s frustrating that “others” enjoy our town and I don’t feel safe doing so. Don’t do takeout either because I don’t believe the workers we don’t see have their masks on and they are around the visitors as well.
Mattie J Sanchez
The line of cars is from before Running Springs, bumper to bumper past the ski slopes.
I have never seen this much congestion.
Not even the last few snow storms or holidays.
Dee Levey
Mattie J Sanchez I am not quite sure where you been living, but this is exactly what goes on all the time during the Christmas and New Year holiday,at least it's been that way since 2000 that I'm aware of,lol. Most times the line of cars starts down at the bottom of the mountain and is bumper-to-bumper all the way up and past the dam into town. This is nothing new , other than we're in the middle of a pandemic and our city chose to ignore all state and County mandates in lockdown 😂😂
Mattie J Sanchez
What time of night does it let up? I have never been caught up in traffic going home. Only for accidents.
Michelle Chambliss
I’m not a fan of the Governor and I’m of the opinion that people have a right to make a living unless the government is going to pay their bills, how else are people going to survive, but when we are in the worst time during the pandemic since it started, when we have limited healthcare resources, live in a small town and have a high population of retired and elderly, it’s not going to kill the city to discourage a huge amount of tourism for a couple of weeks, we live in Southern California which is the epicenter of the battle against Covid right now, it’s not business as usual or at least it shouldn’t be.
Nicole Boucher
They go into the convenient stores arguing about not wearing a mask but then god forbid someone in the store is coughing they that”you have Covid” well if you’d wear your damn masks or better yet stay the hell home, our town wouldn’t get sick!!! Covid numbers only skyrocket when the damn tourists come up!!! STAY HOME!!!
