It is really simple when you think about it, we have two choices. To allow inundation by thousands of lower class indivuals to live in lower class housing or to demand a higher standard of gated communities with higher class of housing. The Keys has only one industry, that is tourism. We manufacture nothing, grow nothing, and in fact produce nothing substantial except left field art. Thank God we do not have deep water around these Keys, if we did this batch of sand dunes would turn into another BOCA with big money controlling everything. If the junta decides to degrade the Keys into a Holm Hatchery for useless eaters, then most locals will leave and this tourist Mecca will turn into another plastic water slide mad house. Shades of Amityville?
