Easements Returned "Tally" forBeach Nourishment

[Bob Hudson]

If you are interested in how the "easement process" on the HSDR (Beach Renourishment) project is moving below you will find the totals, percentages and remaining easements in the process.

This graphic included all returns received thru 8-7-215.

The '% No" is the percentage of the total easements within a "reach" and the "% No of Returns" is the percentage of No's for those actually returned.

This is what I was referring to when I said the project was a dead duck. Whatever the relative merits are/are not, the totals for no cannot be overcome.

If you think this one is a "dead duck". You should see the poll on incorporation that was run 2 weeks ago.

It is really too bad that those who have recently bought have no idea of what transpired before them regarding help for the beaches. They are so caught up with their wealth and property rights they have no conception of what can and might happen to their precious property if Mother Nature does not receive help. Just answer me one question. What "Private Property" owners can I sue the next time a Dennis comes along and destroys my property that could have been protected with beach renourishment? It is too bad we have so many stupid people suddenly moving into SoWal.

Has there been a campaign by lawyers or others scaring people off this issue? In 2006, after storms, gulf front owners were screaming for beach nourishment. I agree with you Andy that the next storm that comes along of any size will wipe out half the gulf front properties and leave a 9 or 10 figure cleanup bill of debris. Half of it will be seawall parts.

lol!

Show us the poll??

 

[Danny Glidewell]

I have heard many reasons why there should not be any re-nourishment, but the one thing I have not heard is who is supposed to pay for repairing the damage from a hurricane. You can google pictures of the aftermath of Eloise, Opal, Ivan and others if you are interested. And as Andy points out, even small storms can be devastating in certain areas.
