Deltopia 2025 grew out of control Saturday night, devolving into yet another failure. Supervisor Laura Capps spent untold thousands in taxpayers’ dollars policing her third “unsanctioned” party. The local Community Services District spent over $80K on a party to distract from the real party and — once again — wasted utility taxes paid by Isla Vistans. They claim 6,000 people attended. The thousands of partiers on Del Playa and Sabado Tarde Roads did not get the memo. The solution to ending Deltopia is simple: Parking Enforcement.
Tens of thousands of people from out of town descended on I.V. Citations almost doubled with 485 compared to 254 in 2024. Ominously, arrests more than doubled from 32 to 84 — including an individual carrying a loaded firearm. Visitors left another 800 pounds of trash in the streets. After 14 years this idiotic party is hardly unsanctioned.
Stop Deltopia before it starts by tripling parking fines for illegally parked cars at all red curbs, crosswalks, and sidewalks. Deltopia weekend will become “drive home to visit mommy” time. Ticket vehicles and parents will be less inclined to let their offspring take cars to school.
