Interesting observations. Do you think it’s the possibility of hurricanes that are keeping business awaya? I doubt it! LOL!

I don’t think hurricane risk is the driving factor.

There was a pole sign in the shape of a large M where a McDonalds had been - the whole block was still empty. I suppose there isn’t enough activity yet to attract them to rebuild. I counted at least 3 Waffle Houses, however, facing the beach, all built up above grade level, so they must require lower traffic counts.

Most people are not building on the beach because they either cannot get insurance, or the rates are so high as to not be affordable. No insurance... no mortgage.... no loan.

There will be mostly condos and retail establishments along the Beach. That is what the reality is.

No, the federal government, can’t decide on a flood plain height AND the insurance companies, we paid in for many years and when we need payments on the policies we bought they change the rules in the middle of the stream and no pay unless you sue them.
