I agree that those who live closest to a development that may have a negative impact should have a louder voice than other residents in the same county.
That makes Lake View Al Sharpton...
There are inexpensive accommodations on 30A. We've stayed at Hidden Beach in Seagrove several times. http://www.vrbo.com/601658. $50-$105 per night. It's right at a beach walkover.
What do I do when I want to go to a vacation destination and can't afford the lodging?
I pick an option in my budget- I go somewhere else. I don't expect every place I want to visit to have options in my price range. The argument that we "should" have affordable options for all is ridiculous.

Again, I'll ask you how have I "destroyed" anything? Your use of the word 'YOU' in caps implies that since I don't oppose the proposed project I have caused damaged to your beloved community. You have accused me of something. What have I done to your community? All I've done is post on a message board controlled by a bunch of arrogant elitists.
In other words, if you don't like a question directed to you, either don't answer or get someone else to answer it for you.
As far as my being an outsider, I lived in Seagrove Beach for a while and my sister and her husband owned a condo there for more than 20 years, where I spent many happy, fun times but in recent years the traffic and crowds made it less attractive. More and more condos and houses will be built so there will continue to be development. It just seems that the attitude of local residents is that a hotel will spoil the perceived "upscale" environment. As a resident of Walton County and hopefully someone with first amendment rights, I was simply voicing an opinion as unwelcome as it might be in this community. I suspect that some of you wouldn't object to the building of a bar or night club in my neighborhood. I still love going to the beach and spending the weekend but you can rest assured that my family and I won't be spoiling your pristine community in the future. There is plenty to choose from between Gulf Shores, Alabama and Mexico Beach for the common people like me.

GB State Park...cabin time baby!
I checked Hampton Inn's web site for a random weekend stay next June. Hampton Inn Destin is asking $259/night. Hampton Inn Sandestin, which is located behind a strip mall with a Burger King and nowhere near a beach, is $188 per night.
I'll note this is more than I paid per night for a perfectly adequate Holiday Inn Express in London last summer that was about a ten minute Tube ride from the central touristy stuff, so we're hardly talking a step above Motel 6 pricing, since I can't see Seagrove getting less than the place next to Burger King.
