Pinellas coastline faces erosion following Hurricane Idalia

Beaches are public
If u want to own all the rights then u are responsible!!!!
Live in FLA for 60 years
And gran parents were here long ago.
Make all beaches public
And then everyone can share otherwise this is what you get. No help. Wake up selfish people not always about you.

It's ironic that these folks hate big government and the current POTUS, but will cry for federal assistance from that same government with every disaster that happens to their private beaches and homes- that they built on literal sand. That's privilege for you.

Build behind the secondary dune system and this usually wont happen .Dont build on the waters edge

Leave the world alone. It’s been changing since the beginning of time.

OMG…..$42, 000,000 to repair a tiny beach???? No way!!!!!!! Just have the Chinese fix it for 1/4 of the price….

Why waste our tax dollars for your exclusive beach??? City beach is a city responsibility….it's not the general public who should pay for refurbishment……. half of Florida will be gone by 2050 anyway…. so just let it go in advance

Humans don't own earth.. Earth 🌎

Wild

That is the way of coastlines. If it isn't worth the risk for you, don't buy there. Why should tax payers who will never use that beach fix it for those who will?

Stop yelling.

The business that depend on the beach and the rich transplants that live there should pay for the beach. I don't live anywhere near the beach and lord knows when I do go there isn't anywhere for a scrub local to park….so I don't want to chip in for it. You pay it.

Fools build on a barrier island and complain about erosion. Get a grip, not one of those islands are permanent and will eventually erode away.

Umm, the area was a mangrove swamp that was dredged for development…but, climate change…

Sign the easement. 🤷‍♀️

I thought the home owners refused beach replenishment because they don't want 'regular' people on their beach? Another big storm & the homes will be gone.

Stopping things like erosion and the climate are a gigantic waste of money. The earth is going to change whether we want it to or not.
