Waterfront property
In the last twenty to thirty years waterfront property has become all the rage. With the newfound wealth that a lot of Americans created, everyone was looking to own a second home and it had to be on the water. Now, of course, those times are a changing, to be sure. But I was reading about Destin and other places where there is a war going on for who controls the public space between the resident and the water and in Destin the government is actually blowing sand back onto the beach to stop the constant erosion and the residents don’t want any of it. Why? Because they don’t want anyone on the beach in front of them and the water.
So after reading this, I was sitting at my dining room table and a large white van pulled up and blocked my view of the bayou. The man took out a veritable living room replete with a burning pit and set up an entire situation and then the rest of the evening entertained right there in front of me. Now I love seeing people using the bayou, because that is what it is there for, but what gets me is why don’t they position their chairs to be looking at the water, why are they facing me, and watching me chew my food?
It’s odd is all I got to say.
