Not 30 years old photos. Not sure what would prove if they were a hundred years old. Making a beach private is the ultimate in human greed.
Some of them are - 30 years ago is 1988. I have 40 year old photos... just don't have them scanned ...
And they don't NEED to be 30 years old or 100 year old to disprove uninterrupted use. Anything prior to 2016. What about the legal documents - do you dispute those as well?
Are you suggesting there is no beach that you have access to in Walton county?
What about buying an island? How about a mountain top? Or a property on a river bank? What about a forest? Where do YOU live? Maybe I would enjoy that particular piece of property and think it's greedy for you to hog it all to yourself. I really like your car - can I use whenever I want?
"Ultimate greed" --- this kind of statement is one of a zealot or a hypocrite.
Let me ask you - do you agree that if the county by decree mandates the public can use what was once a private piece of property - then the property owner should not have to pay taxes on that land? Or is that okay with you as long as you get your way? You want the property owner to pay for it, and pay annual taxes on it - and let you use it for free - if they don't like it then they are just being "greedy"?
What are your thoughts on a state park charging admission? If you have no problem with that - then why can't private beach front property owners charge for the public to use their property?
