Hey Frank, you weren't voted in to start more silly crusades. Leave well enough alone. This area is actually part of Goodland, the blue collar hang out. The place where all your servants live. The city lines were drawn because Moran and Calusa didn't want county rule. But the people are definitely Goodland.
I was a top executive of a fortune 100 company in Chicago. I've been to the Saturday night cotillion. I was invited by a famous 70's rock band friend of mine. There were earthy good people, good music, good food. I strummed my guitar poorly, but was welcome to sit in. My normally sedate wife was even coaxed to play a wash tub. What a hoot. We laughed and never saw a more congenial group.
We'd rather keep this our secret though Frank. To much publicity will draw the wrong crowd. And: remember Frank; If the King wants to hang out in the servants quarters, the King has to understand the decor might be not what he is used to.
You've also got to give the worker bees someplace to blow off steam, play a little music, dance, joke, and yes occasionally fight. Otherwise Monday around the castle will be a little tense

One more silly idea: Why not use the tourist tax millions that currently go to putting new sand on private Hideaway beach each year.
We could float a bond with this money as security. The only downside would be; the millionaires on hideaway would have to pay for thier own beach errosion, caused by thier own environmental blunders. Did I say silly?

Leave the sand where it is, move the people.

People shouldn't live in sand castles on the beach and make me have to pay for their sand. Every few years our money goes to "save" a beach these people have been actively destroying for fifteen years. Their minions took out the "non-native" vegetation on Coconut Island to improve their view, now Coconut is Coco NOT. These homes now have a direct NW gulf view. Nice to look at until a hurricane looks back at you. For anyone familiar with the dome home on Cape Romano you've seen the future of hideaway.
No amount of our money is going to save their homes. When nature wants it, she'll take it. Hideaway start making your escape plans and stop wasting our money.
I got a good chuckle about the public use of this beach in this story. Just try to set up a bar-b-q on the beach front of one of these muckity mucks and you'll meet Guido and his dobe.
Reality is: these folks have enough power and money to get their sand whether we like it or not. I just muse the day a good North Wester ends all this silliness.

Carr's a good man. Thompson is heading in the right direction. We've got some good times ahead of us.
