Golden Gate Bridge suicide barrier funding OK'd for $76 million dollars

Obvious i don't know if most know but around 1400 lives have been perished due from people from jumping to their deaths off the Golden State Bridge. The funding sources are $20 million in bridge toll revenue, $49 million in federal money and $7 million from the state. You think the 76 million dollars is money well spent? I think people will just find a way around the net and still jump.. Your thoughts?


Golden State Bridge Story

Watch the Jumpers here. Very Sad

Only a dummy would spend $76 million to build a flood wall 1/1000th of the way around New Orleans. I'm certain that the net will make this dummy feel better, yet it'll accomplish nothing.

DonDiego trusts that this will be a "catch and release" program.

Let em' jump- spend the money on those who wish to live.

I've always thought it was one of the best places to say goodbye. Afterall, its self cleaning and usually 100% effective.

So they just go to the Oakland Bay bridge a few miles away instead.

The Bay bridge lacks the cachet that the Golden Gate has though

We walked out on the GG one time, man it's a loooong way down, no doubt about it doing the trick if'n you want to off yourself. I remember there were suicide call boxes out there like one would see along the road.

Complete and total waste of money, if somebody wants to do, they'll find a way to do it.

There ought to be a way to monetize this. They need a Golden Gate Bridge Jumper Attraction.

Totally agree. You would be the laughing stock of Heaven if you jumped off the Bay Bridge. Or the Dumbarton Bridge for that matter.
