Bill Makes Some Property Owners More Sacred Than Others | St. Thomas Source
Several senators are pushing a new law that would, on its face, force people who own shoreline property not just to allow access to the shore but to build public roads, public sidewalks and more, at tI think a lot of extra pave walks and drives would be quite damaging to the beach itself and surrounding shore life
Building roads on your own is dime is wrong your right on that regards however, we have had a long history over affluent beach owners who try to own the beach....I am not against public roads being made it should be made fr ok m the goverment
Also those run down property belong to the owners...what they do or dont do with their land is their business
