The only evidence is in control of the Court and we are not in court!!!
BUT WE ARE IN COURT - with an estimated cost of $50,000,0000 and so far not even ONE person, supporter, opponent, lawyer, or plaintiff can even answer the fundamental question of the lawsuit, what about you? What evidence or arguments do you have that the removal of property rights (right of exclusion) is reasonable, without interruption, or without dispute?
Why make enemies is all I want to know?
The COUNTY is trying to take (steal) Property Rights with no compensation and costing the BPO millions of dollars to defends rights they have had for generations!
Not even the Judge knows at this point for god's sake.
The Judge can only rule based on the legality of the lawsuit and evidence provided. What evidence has been provided that removal of property rights defined by the State of Florida (right of exclusion) does not apply to a minority class of citizens (in this case people who have purchased legally deeded private property that has been private for generations)? How do you think a Judge will rule on a lawsuit with no evidence to back up the claim?
The shoreline changes hourly, daily monthly so the deeds are not correct no matter how much you want them to be. The shoreline erodes the dry sand over time and that is another problem.
You basic premise is incorrect, according to the State of Florida, those deeds, along with your deed, and all the other deeds in Walton County, are legally binding. You have the right to buy and sell based on that deed and the Rights to use that property as defined in the Constitution (which means the county can not take without compensation) and that all the Rights listed on the Walton County Web Site apply for EVERYONE (including the right of exclusion). If there is land erosion, then the property behind it, with a legally defined property deed, becomes water front property. It has happened, and continues to happen all over the USA on property that boarders coast lines and rivers. If the big earthquake hits California and disappears, then people in Nevada might have coast line property.
The land can not be "taken" AKA stolen, but it can be purchased. I have also come full circle and I believe that the County does not have the desire or ability to protect the unique ecosystem and will exploit and ruin our natural resources for short term tourist and development dollars.
That being said I fully support property be PURCHASED by the State of Florida and turned into State Parks, just like what was done with Topsail. At least the land will be protected far greater than the County could ever think about. Or the County can purchase land and give it to the State to manage. We can provide local residents with annual passes to the State Parks and Tourist can purchase passes and our resources will be maintained and protected for future generations. On the other hand you personally can purchase private property next to the beach and donate it to the State or County, and even make your own restrictions (that it can not be developed, must be used as wildlife sanctuary with strict density controls to not ruin the ecosystem, and that your future generations have free access to the Park).
But the county should not steal property that has been private for generations because they want to exploit and generate money for some power brokers and ruin our unique ecosystem in the process.
