Well,the bottom line is that no homes should be built on unstable ground,INCLUDING oceanfront! Those that take the risk,should also pay the price,the citizens should not be expected to foot the bill so Mr I have money and you dont,can have his beachfront house! As for jettys,I am never one who says look how we did it up north but in this case,it warrants it! Lets take NJ,everywhere there is a series of jettys,there is very little beach,its a fact! Then lets look at Wildwood Crest,NJ at the southern tip of the state,not a jetty in sight and the beach grows an average of a foot a year! Lets get the houses off the shifting sand and let mother nature do what she is going to do anyway.
