I agree there has beenn way too much building in areas that should have remained bayou, etc. But the tax bodies want taxes and allow buildingn in areass that NEVER should have been built on the entire Gulf Coast. It is CRAZY. Somebody in government should be discussing whether some of these low-lying areas should ever be rebuilt.
I commented in the last few weeks that at least five miles inland there should be NO building. Let the barrier islands, sandbars, bayous, etc., do the job nature intended them to do. Houses and condos should nnot be built on sandbars or 20 feet from a beach. I don't care that people like their view of the Gulf; that should be national seashore. We are building in very damage prone areas because of greed.
