Maybe they just really don't like that bridge

Officials in San Francisco are poised to spend $50 million to construct a steel net twenty feet below the Golden Gate Bridge pedestrian walkways in an effort to catch jumpers. Since opening in 1937, the Golden Gate has become the number one suicide spot in the world, with some 1,300 known suicides.

Why do people hate this bridge so much? Wouldn't a coat of paint or some pleasant music be cheaper?
