SHAMEFUL PEOPLE! A perfect example of self absorbed, entitled narcissistic people…
While the information you posted is available to those who choose to do the work, what exactly is your purpose for posting their personal information here? They aren't hiding, so what does this accomplish?
Bay County found a way to allow deeded owners to set foot on their beaches while keeping guests, tourists, and renters off their beaches. That seemed like a reasonable way to retain constitutional rights, but remove the threat of congregating and/or bringing the virus from other areas. The Bay County owners are only allowed on THEIR beach property, no one else's, and not the public beach areas.
I am constantly amazed at how ugly and vindictive so many posters on here and other social media can get because they DISAGREE. Making assumptions about people's motives is just that: assuming (and you know what is said about that). You THINK you know why people are filing a lawsuit over their personal property rights, but you don't know. I bet money is the least of their motives, but I don't know either.
Eroding property rights is no different than eroding freedom of speech rights or firearm rights. Be careful what you criticize and be careful what you ask for.

Thanks, and THAT is a reasonable request. Unfortunately, what you did in the post I responded to was far different. Can we agree that a temporary suspension of the right to be on one's own deeded property, excluding all others except for the deeded owners, seems like an over reach? Similar to temporarily removing our rights to bear arms and/or our free speech? Everyone wants this to be over, and we all need to do our part to help get there. We just need to be very careful about eroding rights to an unnecessary extent. The next rights to be eroded could be yours or mine.
Well let's be real. If my backyard was attracting millions of people I would be OK with closing it. I wouldn't whine. I wouldn't worry that the government is going to erode my property rights. I certainly wouldn't ask the county to pay me if they closed it. That's some grade A manure.
