It's not necessary to have lots of condos either but they're all over the place and more will be built. But apparently I'm not very good at using the "correct tone" at voicing my opinion. And I did wish all of you who live in the area luck in your crusade.

You the one who introduced the class wars into the thread and I ask again, why are you dragging me into this? I have neither condemned nor condoned this project. I have tried to stay neutral and have stated I believe those who live closest to the area should have a louder voice. And there was no misinterpretation. Your position was very clear to all as evidenced by the responses. To quote you, "Are they better than those who go the extra mile? You bet!"

A lot of condos on 30A look like hotels, albeit very nice ones. I'm not convinced that a large hotel would ruin the décor of 30A, at the same time, I'm not sold on the idea and certainly need to hear more facts and certainly a lot less emotion on the issue.
I am against the Hampton Inn and was also against the Grayton Grande. We fought for 10 years trying to stop the latter. If the deep pockets want it, they will get it. It's just a matter of time.

I'll assume that the fight means litigation. Who pays for the lawyers and court costs?
From past experience, there are people willing to pay the legal fees.
I had not heard of the Grayton Grand project until I read post #334 but after a little more reading, it appears that this was proposed by Jay Odom in 2003 and that the courts finally OK'd it at some point. Does anyone know the status of it? I assume it's been in litigation.
This will pass or not pass BUT, western 30A villages ( really the preferred residences by many) will continue to basically stay the same.because of Point Washington there really isn't any large land parcels for something like Hampton and the other hotel planned just a few blocks west of Hampton site. So Dune Allen, Santa Rosa beach,BMB,and Grayton ( until Grayton grande is built which I understand is very close to happening) will remain small, less crowded, less traffic and becoming very desirable financially for current residence. You may be surprised at the increase asking prices in the last few months for homes south of 30A, plus there aren't many available.
I think you'll be shocked at the number of parcels on 98.
There is a hotel site and more at Peach Creek.
Rosemary Beach east to Panama City Bridge will be one giant city.
Almost everything west of 331 will look like Miramar Beach (basically Destin) soon.
Not to mention that 331 north of the bay will soon have every chain store, restaurant, grocery, hotel, and car dealer known to man. But that's for another thread. But the relevant point is that a fight against a Hampton Inn will soon be a quaint and wistful notion.
Was in litigation and due to start soon apparently.
