Pleasure Island

I was raised at CB since the 60s & 70s. I love CB but sadly I've had to move because CB is becoming too costly live there plus I really don't appreciate the direction the town is "growing". I would prefer that it take a more environmentally friendly growth & stay small town community but sad to say that CB is turning into a mini Myrtle Beach. I know many people, especially seniors, who've had to move because it costs too much to live there. I went to the council meetings many, many times to add my voice to have much better development but they say it won't make money & that's what Macon, Wilcox & co. are all about. With the 1st hurricane of the season forming we should be more concerned about protecting our ocean front, wetlands, marshland, creating more conservation areas, etc. but the money would rather build over these areas because it doesn't increase the economy. Protecting the environment & creating sustainable development will increase the economy. Please make CB a place where everyone, including the low income, can afford to live, work & play. Bulldoze the highrises, Wings & bring back the local economy. When I look to the east and see the Atlantic it just takes my breath away but when I look west I just want to cry, sad. The ones with the money & power seriously need to be more responsible with their development & have vision of protecting the environment for the future otherwise it'll only be littered with buildings & concrete.
