An OC spouter is at it again, praising tourism and beach replenishment. Yes, we can turn back the clock and abandon both tourism and beach replenishment. Everyone in the tourism industry would be better off if they left this county and pursued real work elsewhere that pays better. Barrier island residents are parasites who feed off taxpayers to protect their homes that were built in places they never should have been built. If you don't want flooding, don't live near the ocean!
