Maybe instead of taxing the middle class and smokers for everything, they need to start a new tax for beach front property owners to replenish the beaches. After all, THEY are the ones getting the most benefit from it. If you can afford an ocean front property, you can afford INSURANCE and BEACH REPLENISHMENT!
The beach would still be there even if they don't pump the sand back -- but it would just be more to the west (until it shifts back to the east due to accretion) -- so it's not a matter of "saving" the beach.
The erosion/depletion-accretion cycle is part of a natural process that has occurred for many millenia before they began doing "restoration" to preserve the upscale development than has occurred during recent decades and the beach has always survived.
Millions are being spent on this welfare for the wealthy while the infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc.) that benefit everyone are allowed to deteriorate into a dangerous situation.
Public beaches are one of the truely free spots you can take the family for a day. The fenced private communities can fend for themselves. Replenish the public beaches.
If at all only the public side should get fixed... let the owners and the rich and the ones who get to have houses on the beach pay to fix them if they want them...
Absolutely Not. Let the RICH, Big Businesses and Big Corporations pay for the damage. They are the only group of people who can afford the project. I do live in Delaware. But, I don't go to the beaches.
is there public access? if so then maybe.
ReplyDeleteif its private then no
is it a state park? then again maybe
i say maybe because its natural that they get eroded. let them erode and rebuild by mother nature.
No
ReplyDeleteIf it is such a good idea then let the beach business pay.
Ultimately, Nature will win so it is a waste of money.

Let those who can afford to own beachfront homes and condos pay to protect them.

ReplyDeleteAgree----Let the property owners pay to have theirs replenished! They bought it knowing the consequences-----they need to pay!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely no question on what is the right answer here:
ReplyDeleteYou keep the public out of your private beach, don't expect the public to pay for it.
