1. We need to pull these homes BEFORE they collapse, are they all pukes down there, no responsible people?

2. I agree. All those nails, broken boards, windows, ect gets washed ashore to hurt more people!!

Anything built on the beach has to be considered temporary. Keep it simple, Stupid.

5. Sorry but...

If your home has to be on stilts, perhaps it shouldn't be there. I don't recall any history books (from long before the whitewashing started to happen) talking about Native Americans living on the beach.
