I have lived in 19 states, five abroad. I moved to this area 12 years ago, primarily for the beautiful beach, unbelievable sunsets and to reside within what I believe to be one of the most tightly knit communities I have ever experienced. I am a renter; no tax dollars wasted. I don't drive; could care less about roads, and am not actively involved in local gov. However, I do work very hard on the boardwalk to bring what you call "shoobies" back to the attractions. I'm on the front line. I'm a trencher. I'm amazed by all of the complaints. Have you all forgotten where you live and why?
