Vincenzo's Millionaires and billionaires won't let us walk up and down the beach, they think they own it. If it's been replenished should be open to the public
Well the government spends trillions on the poor. Y not 🤷🏽♀️ they are Americans too n pay most of the taxes. I take issue with illegals being funded on our dime. Not other Americans 🤦🏾♀️ don’t be a hater
Mangroves need a certain climate to thrive. It’s natural for native foliage to die and move inland as sea levels rise. Problem is there is no space for native plants to grow as billionaires and millionaires have manicured fertilized lawns and non-native plants filling their entire property. Generally speaking these rich people do not care. We are peasants working for them and their attitude is pick yourselves up by your bootstraps and serve them
yea so i live in ormond beach, i can assure you there are NO mansions on the beach, there are however endangered sea turtles who need the beach to lay eggs. Notveverything is about rich ppl.
@@llamapartyy it is. Make money. Keep good credit. Save up. I don’t have a house because I’m horrible at saving money. N I don’t have a job. I don’t hate on those who worked to get what they have. I know many don’t have houses for the same reason as me. Nice things require work. Not handouts
Being born on an island and understanding how things ebb and flow, sand moves, storms, seeing major beach erosion and sea level rise over the past 45 years..... I can say this is an absolute WASTE of effort, time, and money. In 2015 I relocated to a house that's 93ft straight up a cliff from the ocean so I can't be flooded. But I know my children will have to sell the house before everyone realizes that islands are a terrible place to live when the beaches are gone and the temperatures are intolerable.
I live about 90 min from FL panhandle coast, wont tell where because I dont want it ruined, for now 67 years. Myself and others in this area have refused to buy beachfront property because we have seen what happens to it. Beach erosion, salt air, constant wind, hurricanes and storms cause any dwelling near a beach to have a very short lifespan. Even well built places with good yearly maintenance do not stand the test of time. Not to mention now the astronomical insurance if you can get it. When it comes to some storms, 90 min away is still too close. I certainly dont want my tax $$$$$$ to help any ignorant rich @$$hole get a beachfront place.
@@lowboyyy Interesting that people in CA think Southerners are ignorant and uneducated. Learning from the mistakes of others, is our way. We all think of CA as a large group of future Darwin award winners.
@lesliemoore1656 well the majority of society conflate education with intelligence,they're not bad people they just don't know any better,I've got family from orange county,great people just don't know much about how things actually work,especially when it comes to construction
Now all you have to do is find the link between the company providing the sand and the politicians that voted for replenishment of beaches. THAT is how politicians become rich.
No doubt some political figure has ties to the dredging company paid to do the work. Money ain't for nothing, and politicians ain't for free. @@Magtardssuck
Living on the beach and near the beach in Palm Beach County for over 50 years I can tell you the beach sand will go in and it will go out on its own you can put dredges out there and put in all the sand you want you can spend hundreds of hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars every year it is not going to make a bit of difference when I first moved to Florida in 1960 the road up on the beach right on the beach which basically shelled out and they built a new road A1A a couple hundred feet away from it that is what is there now you can't hold what's going to happen with the ocean and it's a waste of money but they're getting tax dollars from all the beachfront people but mostly everyone else gets stuck with a bill it's absolutely not worth it and that's from watching it and living on the beach for a lifetime
The most wasteful thing I've seen in quite some time. Riprap or crushed concrete would save the taxpayers millions. However, lack of a beach would lower property values for the wealthy.
Nope. Nope nope nope. Unless this is somehow good for the environment, speading millions of dollars to put sand ON THE BEACH is by far one of the stupidest thing I have ever heard!
When I was a kid for some reason there was a stunning increase in the small fish population. They ate everything, then died, washed up on the beaches and STANK. Cities for whom beaches was important (Like Ludington Michigan) spent a lot of money cleaning up the fish every day and dumping them somewhere. Thousands of fish, DAILY. Eventually the ecology balanced.
Sea level rise is going to make all this go away, youll need hard barriers everywhere itll be unavoidable, which sucks but all those coast are made of sand deposited over millions of years and sand flows with the waves.
Notice how those rich republicans all of a sudden ok giving our tax dollars to other rich and not batting an eye. But god forbid we help those struggling to pay student loans.
It’s only a waste if you hate beaches. I think beaches add to the community like a park. If you own a private beach then yeah you should be covering your own property.
Why did Mr. Stock decide he didn’t agree with beachfills, and then interview someone to support his uninformed opinion? So utterly one sided and uninformed.
Why not? The taxpayer is already subsidizing major corporations (Wal-Mart, Amazon, etc...) workers pay through assistance programs. Why don't we pay for the richs' landscaping while we are at it, too? Happy oligarchs, happy life after all...am I right fellow poors?
We spend trillions on wars over sees. Illegals get everything free and haven’t contributed 1 cent. So spending millions helping beach communities and small businesses doesn’t seem that bad a deal. That’s if you want to actually help US citizens!
Why the heck should we all be on the hook for protecting rich folks beachfront property? I can't afford a house on the beach. Maybe we should spend the money on education and childcare instead. If you really wanna help Americans and not just give more money to the well off ....
