I do see a lot of that here concerning south walton development and especially 30A development.
No thank you sir. I have no desire to purchase south walton property.
However, I can assure you that if I owned that parcel I would sell it in a heartbeat. And since the state already owns 40% of south walton...they could do without mine.

If I had the means, I would buy it and make sure it was preserved. I don't. This parcel is special. Just like the large parcel by draper lake that DR Horton is in the process of destroying. It would be great if natural areas like this this could be preserved for future generations. This is one of the things I wish my tax dollars would be used for.
For those of us who know SoWal history, we appreciate the people who worked hard in the past to preserve our lands.
We owe it to them to fend off those who look at it now and only want to develop it. Or pave roads through it.
Here is a thread about land preservation history in South Walton

The History of Preservation of Land in SoWal
A letter from Bonnie McQuiston I read with dismay the revision of history in SWCC celebrates 10 years in community. In 1995, Wally Bair and members of the Walton Taxpayers Association discussed the formation of a subsidiary organization south of the Choctawhatchee Bay. It was Wally's idea...

To what end?
At what point in history would you like to go back and "preserve natural areas for future generations"?
1990? !980? 1970? 1950? Earlier?
Was it ok when Grayton Beach was developed at the beginning of the last century?
Is 40% of south walton not enough?
Is Grayton Beach State Park and others along the coast not enough?
I'd ask you the same question I asked above.
"Fend off"? What exactly does that mean?
Seems many here do not support private property rights?
Does your home and/or business have paved roads? Was it developed? Or can one assume you live in a tent in the woods?
It means keep grubby hands off our state lands. I draw the line at people trying to develop state parks and forests. I am in favor of adding to them when feasible.
Building next to a dune lake outfall is a bad idea and should be prevented if possible.
I'm sure you would be sad to live in a world where SoWal was part of Gulf Islands National Seashore from Cape San Blas to Orange Beach but that would be the result of giving me the keys to a time machine.
