I too lived at CB for many years since the 60s. There was a time when our ocean front was absolutely beautiful. We had clean, white sandy beaches. At night when the moon was out the sand would glitter like crystals. The shells & sea life, the star fish & sand dollars were numerous. I haven't seen that anywhere else before. It all began when they blasted the inlet & Snow's Cut that changed our ecosystem drastically & with major development & renourishment well we just don't have that beauty anymore. I know people who lost their homes to the Atlantic before they ever did the first renourishment-it was sad. But the millions upon million of dollars that have been spent & the enormous millions we need to spend for the future we have to ask "Is there a better way?" Of course, but we're not willing to sacrifice our money to do what's right which in turn will make more money & create jobs in the long run. It's time to change for the betterment of our planet instead of our bottom line.
