If there is a demand for it, set up as many stands as you can and still remain profitable. Have you been to NYC lately? Hot dog stands everywhere!
But
That's part of the point. The ghost beach chair set ups indicate there is not that large of a demand.

How many "ghost" setups do you think there are? If some one paid for it, it's not a ghost set whether they're sitting in it or not.

Understood.
There do appear to be a lot of ghost sets.
Do you set up before and wait on a customer? Or set up after a customer requests and pays?

You might see a few on Sunday mornings but by Sunday night everything is rented for the whole week this time of year.

Chairs should only be on the beach if the customer is.

How is that fair for others on Sunday afternoon?

Hey guys, the purpose of this thread is to find out who the Ghost Organization putting out flyers and it now has devolved into a private beach vender discussion because of an anonymous person who rents chairs got us off topic. Here is the place for that discussion. Policy on Personal Beach Chairs vs Vendor

When Our Generation launched their Facebook page (which was probably a couple months ago, now) I received an invite to "like" the page. I posted on the page asking what the group's position was on Customary Use and received no reply. A week later I posted a follow up question asking why they hadn't responded. Both posts were then deleted by their page's administrator.

One might wonder why a group of concerned citizens would ignore, then delete, a polite question concerning what is far and away the single most contentious and polarizing issue of this election cycle. Their website makes no mention of the issue either.

I can't imagine a scenario where the challengers they're backing have not been "vetted" in terms of their Customary Use position, prior to the mailers being sent and the YouTube smear campaign being launched. Our Generation isn't going to spend that kind of money only to replace existing pro-customary use commissioners with new pro-customary use commissioners.

I think the name "our generation" is an attempt to appear as if they're a young, hip, grassroots, Bernie Sanders-esque, anti-establishment/incumbent movement. My guess is that they are most likely well-healed beachfront property-owning baby boomers trying to keep the plebeians off their lawns.

Why are you so concerned this group won't answer questions but not concerned about candidates who won't. Tony Anderson won't answer anything even on his own facebook page he ignores people. You should be concerned about a man who can't manage his own life but wants to manage your "Investment" .

PHONY TONY! 30 years with a public agency and a so called successful small business owner whose business got shut down who doesn't even own a house. Epic Fail! Never been seen at a meeting until he announced running and mostly backed by people who don't want to follow the rules. "PHONY TONY!"

I got so freaking tickled at some of the comments on "their" page. People are so UN-informed and asking if candidates are running as Republicans or Democrats. SMH! If you are voting in the primaries you MUST be a registered Republican by August 1, 2016. The deadline has come and gone.

Key words....REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES!
