Old Harbor is next for destruction
A quote from a waterfront property owner in Beaufort, SC, always
returns to my head when I read these stories of denial-of-access to
the public's waterways. She said, "Noone wants one of those FLOATING
TRAILER PARKS in front of their waterfront.", or something like that,
it's been a while.
Your analogy doesn't quite fit because there are few if any private homes
overlooking Old Harbor. In fact there are quite a few hotels and rooming
houses with balconies overlooking the harbor, and no one questions the
atmosphere provided by the anchored boats. The case in question is just
another economic power grab by local government and business interests.
OTOH, the average boat anchored in Old Harbor (as opposed to using the
facilities) often belongs in the "floating trailed park" category.
