The beach communities are profitable.
They keep parking meter revenues.
They keep a high percentage of sales Tax revenue.
Their homes hold appreciation,re-sell for better margins than most homes.
So why can not the beach communities pay for the bulk of the re-nourishment.
The Hotels there,rental properties,restarants,merchants all benefit from yes,another subsidized way of life.
They are quite spoiled,coddled.
Maybe we should spend less on the shore-lines,gives our teachers a raise,and our kids better study materials?
We have a "hollow" economy,and when the Mayor tries to create a "new economy".people go nuts.
Our schools are some of the worst in the State,go buy more sand..
