Isn't St. Joe planning to develop north of 30A in that general area as well? How can you spell T-R-A-F-F-I-C?
The loss of the large areas of vacant property with the native oaks, etc., will contribute to the demise of 30A as we knew it.
But by the time it is fully developed in 10 or so years, i will probably be living in California. Our son-in-law has a fabulous job waiting for him at Google in Mountain View, CA, when he finishes his Ph.D. I'll want to be close to my future grandchildren.
That being said, it will make me sad because I love SoWal.
