This is hilarious. The U.S. Corps of Engineers has dangled a $42 million carrot to replenish sand on beaches in front of expensive houses but the homeowners don’t want it at the expense of having to create public access easements (because federal dollars can only go towards improving public, not private, beaches). This town is going to get annihilated by the next big storm because these little tyrants want to keep their beaches private.

    It’s beautiful country and I wish it belonged to everyone that way. Sometimes I wish I could see it 100, 200 years ago to see what we’ve lost. Right now it’s being further destroyed by a bunch of rich retirees and fail chuds from the north who have no concept of environmental stewardship.
