The disaster was the tearing out of a stretch of beautiful mangroves.
To all others:
That is what most of us are objecting to as far as South Beach goes.
There is a law against destroying mangroves and we had to sit and watch it happen and have the law ignored.
I don't think dredging is a healthy thing but that was not my argument.
I wouldn't personally buy a time share but I don't care if other people do.
I loved the pull ferry except when all the bicycles made it impossible for golf carts to get across but the locals had a good time laughing at me when I would go nuts and loose it. Now we have a bridge and trucks are coming across on a regular basis.
There is some kind of ordinance that says large vehicles need to buy a daily permit to travel on the cart path up north - but none of them do and none are fined.
There were enough pot holes in the road to make speeding impossible; large ropes were not necessary and their placement was suspect.
Those of us who bought away from the noise and lights of town have tried to maintain this atmosphere and are slowly loosing what we thought we were getting.
The town has decided that they will put high powered street lights up high on every third light pole here on the north side; this against our protests.
Do you see a pattern here? Can you feel my frustration?
I have not chained myself to a mangrove but I am an active member of the Chamber of Commerce, I write letters and make phone calls to our elected officials and try to keep my side of the street clean and looking good.
