This area in the North Cape used to be pretty much deserted since it
was platted in the 50s-60s (from the air it looked like Hiroshima
after the bomb, streets, no houses) but the housing boom pushed into
that area. Old habits just die hard for the rednecks who have been
fishing and partying up there for decades when nobody cared.

Maybe people should take the attitude they have about bears,
alligators and manatee. The rednecks were there first and the
homeowners moved into their habitat ;-)

There's a lot of truth to that, sort of like the guy who builds a
house down the road from a pig farm and then complains about the
smell. Unfortunately for the good old boys a lot of high end real
estate is being built up in that neck of the woods and a bit of
culture clash is inevitable.


Yup, we have it here too. Of course we have it on the river, and now we
have it in the bike community. A private track in the state which has
been operating since the 80's is having trouble with a neighbor who
moved in a few years back, well aware of the track and the noise when
they bought the place in the woods...
