Those of us who own second homes on 30A have a vested interest in the community. We have raised children there very part time, and it could have been them last week. We serve on our neighborhood boards and have to deal with security issues as do the full time residents. We are not "tourists"......we are there whenever we can be because it is our home away from home.
You say we don't have the problems of Hawaii, but it seems like that day is coming. A drug related murder last winter, and now this heartbreaking crime. No one who is obeying the laws needs to worry about "torches and pitchforks". And if the homeless men are doing such a good job cleaning up the beach, let's get them on the county payroll so they can afford to pay rent somewhere.
