Here are some facts for those who are concerned about the overdevelopment of Ocean City. This will help separate fact from fiction. These statistics do not include new construction for owner-occupied, or primary homes for local occupants.
In 1950, the town saw 153 new construction properties including:
- The Lankford Hotel
- Stone Haven Apartments
- Buckingham Hotel
- Seascape Motel
Between 1950 and 1960, there were 517 new construction units built in Ocean City. Those ten years brought us:
- Harrison Hall
- Buas Bayside Hotel
- Commander Hotel
- Phillips Crab House
- Surf & Sands
- Castle in the Sand
$$$$ in the council's pockets just like the scumbag day council.
ReplyDeletethe problem is lack of parking
ReplyDeleteand undersized parking spaces for those developments
Every piece of sand is covered with buildings
ReplyDeleteway overdeveloped
it's a small island...you can only fit so many cars and people
We are do another Hurricane like in 1933 in Ocean City
most the stuff they built will be taken out to the Ocean
Here's a good question: has BERLIN been over-developed (yet)...
ReplyDeletePeople are focused on controlling the wrong thing. It's not properties that are/will be reaching their limit, it's PARKING SPACES. The air show and July 4th literally use up all available parking that creates total gridlock. It's not new Bay Crossings we need until there are additional Destination Venues created. Ocean City can't hold anymore (cars).
ReplyDeleteThat ship has sailed.
ReplyDeleteAnytime you have a backup on route 90 all the way to the ocean pines exit I say you did something wrong
ReplyDeleteOcean City is a horrible. It has zero charm left and that is to be blamed on officials who lack any type of class and sophistication. Ocean City should be a charming town by the sea but instead it is a drunk filled traffic nightmare cess pool of cement.
ReplyDeleteYeah 30 years ago.
ReplyDeleteOC has plenty of parking just not so much below 28th street. Almost all the condos have 2 spots. The problem is the people thth rent condos park on the street instead of their assigned spot. That way they keep the section of the beach near their condo from being overcrowded.
ReplyDeleteAlong Time ago, early 70's was it !!! Gone to Hell now
ReplyDeleteJust a big Drunkfest now for the party crowd at night !!!!
Wait until the slots fully reach the beach.Then ask.
ReplyDeleteEveryone shopping for some Tail in the clubs !!! & Buses !!!

ReplyDeleteThe bigger the project the more money the town government makes. 10% of the project cost = the cost of your construction permits
ReplyDeleteHere is the first clue that Ocean City is overdeveloped. What do they do with their trash?? They can't even handle their daily trash load so yes it is overdeveloped.
ReplyDeleteShame on those greedy Libtards!
