Actually, there is a lot of truth in what he says. Big money builds
big structures at the water's edge and insures them under the NC Beach
Plan. Obviously and predictably, they are going to be damaged (if not
splintered and scattered the length of the island) in any significant
storm. Since insurance in the 18 coastal NC counties is underwritten
by them.... we all pay elevated costs due to the idiots that build in
harm's way. With protest, I'm subsidizing many for-profit
corporation's dubious surfside ventures and helping with the insurance
costs of multi-million dollar houses sitting at the edge of the surf.
In fact, the NC law enacted to prevent re-building on lots condemned
due to storm erosion has been challenged and those lots, (very
temporarily) reclaimed by dredging, are again buildable. Thus, again,
proving that you are entitled to all of the justice that you can
afford to buy.

And the influx of snowbirds? They have virtually erased all of the
charm that once drew people here to vacation. Now we have traffic
jams, condos, crowded beaches, fewer piers, and a disappearing marine
economy.... not to mention the fact that tax valuations have jumped by
309% in four years. Lewis Grizzard was right.



I'm not commenting on the seemingly uncontrolled growth. I am commenting
on his call for hurricanes. Only an a**hole wishes for such events, so
that there will be all sorts of landside property damage and, probably,
deaths.

The interstate on the west coast is the kind of development that
destroyed much of the natural beauty of Florida. I used to vacation
there by trekking down 41, and argued with my dad about the
interstate.
He had a small auction business on 41 near Ft Myers and wanted that
interstate bad. I said it would f**k up the natural beauty and bring
crowding. I was right. And he went out of business due to mega-store
competition.
You're mouthpiecing the Chamber of Commerce if you think all commerce
is "good."
This is an endless philosophical argument, but I see frogsters side
and essentially agree with him regarding Florida.
No different in many respects than folks not wanting a nuke power
plant down the street.
And some places are barring new construction on ocean fronts.

However, our dumb ass politicians have made those of us who are smart
enough to not own property on the coast pay for those who think its a
good idea. They have made us inlanders help to subsidize the
insurance of those who want to live dangerously on the coast. Thus,
former boat yards and fishhouses have been turned into condos inviting
further financial disaster such that several companies refuse to
insure in FL at all because the state demands they insure unsafe
properties on the coast. I don't ask non-boat owners to help pay my
boat insurance, why should I have to help pay for dangerous coastal
property?

I'm not too affected by insurance communism where I live, and my
answer to your question would be highly political, so I won't give it.
Sports communism costs me more in my monthly cable TV bill.
I don't give a damn about millionaire athletes and their games, but
them and their "fans" extract a nice chunk of money from me every
month so my wife can watch Lifetime and Home Shopping Network.
Hurricanes are the best solution for your problem, having the added
benefit that they can be laid to God's wrath, with the caveat that the
wrath is unleashed only because of the sins of Al Gore.

Southern Hospitality: C'mon down, stay awhile, THEN LEAVE.

30 years max if I'm not required to attend Sunday rattlesnake church,
and you occasionally have me over for grits.
Otherwise arriving Monday, departing Saturday.
But I'm actually looking more at Wyoming now after seeing how people
like it there (-:

Well Vic, go in on this property with me then.
If you come on down to North Fl, we'll give ya cheese grits,
hushpuppies and fried mullet with a large iced tea to wash it down.

I'm a bit leery that my wife would change her mind when it came to
sign on the loan. But I'll take you up on the rest.

Busted highways put more union members to work. Shortsighted response

Harold, why are you admonishing someone about wishing death on people?
Are you upset that he has taken over your line.

Trust me, you don't want one. We have one, here, and besides (with
current technology) being a dirty source of energy, it is just plain
expensive.

What's dirty about it, besides fuel disposal?
(Wyoming might be a good repository of spent fuel.)
Is it releasing as much radiation as a coal-fired plant?
I've read coal is anywhere from 3 to 100 times worse than nuke plants
in releasing radiation to the atmosphere.

The fact that more is paid is kept pretty well hidden!

I prob have more education than you. That said, read your own post,
"your highways", they are publicly owned, not private like condos.
YES, more hurricanes, clean "OUR" beaches. Make people pay their own
costs of living dangerously. No subsidies for the rich yankees. Fewer
rich yankees, we need fewer roads. Run Disney out of FL.

Don't let Harrie get to you at all. He's stuck in name-calling mode.
