When we first visited Seaside in the late 80s, the old fashioned village-look was so cool and attractive. Everything seemed consistent architecturally. Then modern-styled concrete high-rises were built. Beachfront has stayed pretty much the same, but that property is so valuable that I am surprised that it hasn't gone in the high-rise direction. Glad it hasn't.
So what's going on there? We love visiting Seaside, but are concerned about its future. Will the old-school architecture on the beachfront remain? Or is it destined (pun but it gags me) to become another concrete collection of high-rises?
Does Seaside need to build multi-level parking garages where the one-level parking areas exist now behind the main loop? At least that might delay ripping out the original architectural characteristics that once defined Seaside.
I have no expertise in the area of community planning, so please don't slam me. But we are building a new non-rental home in the area, and we happen to enjoy the amenities of Seaside, as well as the 30A corridor.
So feel free to educate me.
