I pick up the diapers and six pack rings they leave in my yard without complaint. I pick up three times the amount of shit my dogs leave because so many of the visitors don't think it matters. I pay for emergency responders to save the idiots that ignore the signs that tell them not to swim to the sand bar. I pay for extra police to control the crowds of drunks that you never see in your neighborhood. I pay for the beaches to be nice when you visit. Right now I have to just ignore the thousand idiots a day that don't care that they might be endangering my older neighbors because it's more important that they get to play in the PUBLIC sand while we're in the middle of a global pandemic.
On a brighter note, I did get my dove fields disced and cultivated today. Nobody had to subsidize my visit to the farm...that I paid for.
My family deals with same at Edisto.. but I agree with Bad Habit. If this is the attitude of property owners then the public at large should not be paying to re-renourish beaches unless there is adequate public access.
"The best things in life make you sweaty"
- Edgar Allen Poe
“We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us...”
― Henry David Thoreau
