Reggie, Thank you for being the voice of compromise. Many of the voices here are all or nothing. So, to verify my assumption that you are a voice of reason please tell us what demands you are willing to give up. For example, are you willing to share the area of land behind your house with respectable people? I understand the devil is in the details but we need to start somewhere.
Beach front owner and others, don’t take words so literal all the time. Obviously my greetings was meant to be humorous! This is a heavy subject and we need to lighten it just a bit
It’s simple:
First, I Do
NOT Represent any BPO’s. I’d rather be the voice of reason, compromise isn’t quite accurate.
However, my original post stands. Our 30-A legacy was that of public beaches controlled by county, and private beaches governed by private owners. EVERYONE GOT ALONG!!!!
If there are a handful of owners not wanting you on their property, stay the hell off of it, like we did before, signs and all. It’s theirs, not yours, get over it.
If you want to go to beach and have access where public beach bleeds onto private, and owner doesn’t mind, be respectful: No tents, no cigarette butts, no glass, no trash, no holes, no music, etc.
NO F’IN AMBUSH SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEOS!!!!!!!!
If you happen to be on private property, and if owner would like prime spot on HIS/HER property, yield immediately.
It’s all about respect folks, both ways.
Both sides feel shafted, they both need to get over it. But that does NOT mean that private property is anything but that, including the right of exclusion, the most basic of constitutional rights.
It will take some time, and adult education. We handled it nicely until government and certain agitators got involved because of their personal interests. But the transition back to our intimate and unique beach community can be reestablished only without the radical extremism from both sides. County also needs to immediately buy a bunch of beach and communicate access. Owners need to chill like before. Owners will not, however, chill, until the lawsuits against them are dropped. They can’t, it’s just not possible to forfeit their property, no one would. The moral of the story: Without this pretend thing called CU, we can regain our 30-A legacy. Continue this CU noise, we destroy our 30-A legacy, regardless of “winner”.
