Sup, I disagree with your key word "private". In property law "use" is vital to the establishment of who or what has the power of control. Your lawsuit is about "control" as you correctly stated which is the same as power. The court will try and determine how the beach has been and is being "used". The legal description in the deed is not accurate because of the nature of the dynamics of the shoreline is constantly changing and moving. The county has evidence of public recreational use. There are no barriers on a beach. No fences. No anything to designate where the property lines are because they keep changing. Your exclusive buildings should be exclusive enough but you are distracting from the fact that you want the power of control over the beach. Alex Miles explained to us that the beach is not normal Realestate and I agree. I asked Fbb to comment on the statement by Alex Miles but he punted. I know you power brokers are intentionally misleading your purpose. Imo you do not care about the 30A community one little bit even though you reference all the problems with development and the relationship between the county and developers. You could care less about an issue until it effects your life. It is a shame because we actually agree on many of the issues but we could not be further apart on how to solve those issues. I am certain there were compromises that would have helped. Giving you the power to control the beach would be a colossal mistake for public enjoyment of the beach. Many of the statements made by your group point directly toward an elite belief of power. An abuse of power always follow those with no checks and balances of that power. It is not necessarily a crime to abuse power but it is bad for the community and harmful to shared enjoyment of any resource by the public. An abuse of power hurts the people as you gain even more advantage over resources. You try to assign mob like behavior to the public but there is NO evidence. Yes, your words have evoked deep emotions on both sides. That was your purpose. I really wish I was wrong about your purpose but you and yours have forever opened my eyes to what an abuse of power means to this community and to this Country. I do not belief you and yours care much about listening to anyone in this community. I do not think you want to learn something nice about the people who enjoy the beach. I think you want to talk...a lot...about how the public is a disrespectful mob and your purpose is to try and prove it by provocation. I think you have failed. I will give you credit for the effort because it has been like a hurricane of destructive winds. It is amazing to me the effect of politics on people and you have used that to your full advantage. I wish we the people would use our common sense instead of living in the twilight zone of political propaganda...
