30-a beach looks like tent city

SHELLY is on to something. Back in my teaching days, our school had a broken heater. The teachers (wearing their coats, gloves and hats, along with the students) complained to the principal, who complained to the district. Nothing happened until we asked the parents to call and complain. Had heat the next day.

We need some visitors to get all grossed out and complain!

That's IT, SC - the pic from Korea! Could you imagine that on our beaches?

Exactly, I said in the other thread nothing is done for fear of making the tourists mad, as Shelly said if the "tourist's demand it be cleaned up it will get done. It is all about the money.

I have seen a pic of Destin near the Back Porch that looked very similar. About 3 years ago I think.

Check out this video taken of Navarre beach in 2007--down toward Pensacola way...we're not the only folks having this problem--hear it's getting worse there this year too:

Why doesn't the county consider requiring a license that would allow a family to put up a tent. It would require that someone ride up and down the beach checking to see whether tents are permit legal with heavy fines for those that do not comply. But sounds like the problem has grown to the point it would bring in revenue. I don't like the part of human nature that will mar the beauty of the sea and the beach.

I was steaming tonight seeing all the tents left and almost confronted a few of the "tent people". I like some of the ideas above. i say we buy 1000 tents and line them up and down the beach and leave them there for the whole summer. Is it going to take 1000"s of tents destroying the beauty of our beachs to get the county's attention. The beach is not private property thus people have no right to leave there tents up.I pay big property taxes to live in paradise and its time for laws to be enforced.

Please don't suggest licensing to set up sun protection on the beach! Accountability is good, but licensing sucks. We have too many as it is. We already have problems enforcing the existing codes.

So those deeds that people are holding are meaningless? I did not realize that SCOTUS had made a decision yet.

wrobert, those deeds aren't meaningless, but deeds do not give full rights, and you should know that. If you don't know that, you should not be in government.

BTW, That is a nice sea turtle photo you have for you avatar, but with your other comments about eating sea turtles, you are not worthy of having that avatar.
