the Outer Banks pumps into the coffers of the state of North Carolina

My brother-in-law's place in Kitty Hawk is still there, Nags Head is still there, Ocracoke is still there. Corolla is still there, Kill Devil Hills are still there, as are the huge National Park, Rodanthe, etc.. The Ferrys haven't sunk.

Fighting a battle w/ nature that you know you can't win to try and save one dinky sandbar doesn't make alot of sense to me.

Yes, all pumping MILLIONS of dollars into the economy and government coffers. Thank you for making my point.

Considering the area has been inhabited for over 150 years, with very little inconvenience, I'd say your assertion that they are "Fighting a battle w/ nature that you know you can't win" is erroneous.
