We have a time share over on Ft Meyers Beach..... happily it's one of the ones still standing and the roof didn't get destroyed, but the first and second floors were wiped out and it'll be a long time before we get to use it again....if ever.

    Yes it is very sad and unfortunate however very predictable that many of these buildings even new buildings need to be condemned deemed unsafe torn down never to be built again. Many of the shoreline areas need to be turned back into natural protected Preserve Coastal barrier land. Endless amounts of sand need to be brought back to the shores via dredging out in the ocean. And most importantly natural Florida Coastal vegetation needs to be brought back in a major planting way and protected. Many of the coastline areas and sites need to be returned back to their natural state. Before development. And zoning and code enforcement should not allow any future structures to be built on those sites. There should have never been buildings built there to begin with. The buildings are exactly what's undermining the coast with their horrible designed weak sea walls. The only seawalls that should be placed along the coast should be Army Corps of Engineers engineered specifically designed for Coastal erosion. And those Seawall should be placed further Inland next to A1A or the nearest Shoreline Road. Everything beyond the seawall out to sea should be protected As Natural preserved area and opened as a public beach with rules and laws not to disturb the vegetation.

    • @Floroseven
      @Floroseven  Рік тому +3

      @@Floroseven it should be considered a Line in the Sand using A1A or Coastal lined roads as the barrier point building a Army Corps of Engineers Seawall as that line everything beyond the seawall out to sea should be protected and preserved yes it's going to be extremely expensive phenomenally expensive. But it's something that the state should have been preparing for all along. Unfortunately a line has to be drawn otherwise the entire state of Florida is vulnerable. This is why new building sites that are on the coast should never be approved. It should automatically be considered protected land. And it should be enjoyed by all as public beach. With very strict laws and rules in place protecting the coast and all the vegetation cannot be removed only added to. And the only way this is going to be achieved is it has to be done on a state level effort. Using federal and state funds and maintained by federal and state funds. That ultimately become the taxpayers responsibility. And by taxpayers I mean everyone living within the state of Florida. In addition to Federal funding. Again to ensure that private individuals do not control the land use or the rights to the land along the coast. Any building that has been severely damaged or compromised or in danger of future damage should be deemed unsafe and condemned. Yes this is very unfortunate for people that live along the coast. However it is absolutely essential that it be done to protect Florida in general. The needs of the many outweigh the desires of the few.

However, the town on the mainland fights every time we try to get out of their school system. The county needs this island. If it was not developed as it is, the county would go bankrupt and the state would be in much deeper crap. We are a cash cow for our state. We know it, and they know it.

      @@cbdoil4082 the revenue would be replaced by returning it back to what it used to be natural land Preserve. Even if it meant people would have to take a boat to get to it and enjoy its public beaches there still. could be some building on the Barrier Island I never said totally not have it populated. Just not right on the coast. Anything that is built there should have been built correctly up higher on higher land meaning bringing in dirt to raise the land and if you read my text I was not blaming the people that built there I was blaming the zoning departments and the code enforcement departments for allowing structures to be built so weak in their construction methods. I have been through many hurricanes and I have lost property myself but that's because the property that I invested in was poorly built I accepted the fact and moved on. Building on barrier islands particularly building on the coast are actually literally destroying the coast once it can no longer be a Barrier Island because all of the vegetation was destroyed that allowed the beaches to be eroded and the ocean takes it over that causes more risk for people that live inland. And that's not to say that many people that live inland have homes that are built properly or not of proper code. People should be protected when they invest money to build and that protection should come from zoning and code enforcement to make sure that the structures are built correctly to begin with so that people like you and me do not suffer the consequences of poor planning and poor code enforcement. Especially when the buildings or structures or homes. Are built new and code enforcement and Zoning are still allowing it to be built not properly or allowing it to be built at all. Many zoning areas that were zoned for building homes or structures should have never been zoned to allow structures to be built upon them. Every time these structures get damaged or destroyed puts those people living in those structures in danger and at the same time insurance goes up it raises the insurance for the entire state. After you have lived in Florida as long as I have you grow numb of people complaining that their house washed away or their house blew down because it was not built properly to begin with. There has to come a time when we hold zoning and code enforcement responsible for their negligence so that future homes and structures future properties are not built incorrectly. And so some areas are just flat out protected not allowing anything to be built on them therefore they would never be up for sale to begin with so no investor would have to make a bad investment. I'm sorry that you don't understand that some areas need to stay natural. Because we're human doesn't mean we have the right to destroy the Earth. There has to be a balance. Or at the very least a major effort of balance. For everyone's protection. How are you going to feel when one of these high-rise buildings just collapses with people inside. Because it was allowed to be built inadequately right on the ocean shore. How would you feel if someone like someone in your family live there and bought there because they thought they were safe because it was inspected by code enforcement and passed their week inspection or lack of inspection altogether. A builder will only build to what the Builder is required to build to. And people will only buy property that they are allowed to buy in the first place. So again if zoning and code enforcement were doing their jobs properly much of this major destruction would not be happening. In fact you yourself probably would not have to be going through what you're going through if you're home or your structure was built correctly to begin with that should have been required by code enforcement or zoning or both. I've lived in Florida almost all my entire life and I am over the hill now so to speak. And this is how I see it along with many many others see it that have actually lived here that long.

It was crazy trying to grab what u could in a cpl mins. Smh. We lost our sea wall by the pool. But the officials where worried that the towers next door could come crashing down on our building. A cpl of my buddies go detecting. We have been finding a lot of older coins. Mercury dimes, Buffalo nickels and cpl standing 🗽. The moon setting about the same time as high tide had a profound effect on the tides, Thrusday morning. At the height of the storm. We are in recovery mode atm.

    I’ve been to that area many times. I was a vacation renter of condos on that strip. Bella Vista, ocean vistas. Only reason I ended up on the gulf was that area was my area with my ex wife and my new wife wanted some new area so we ended up in the Ft Myers/Cape Coral area. Ironically both areas I know got smashed by hurricane. I think the advantage of the gulf is the shallow water off those beaches did save the beaches. Sure, buildings were destroyed but the shallow ocean didn’t eat the beach like the Atlantic side. I can’t imagine if Ian had hit that side full force if back to back cat one’s removed that much beach. You don’t seem too upset I’ll give you that. I wouldn’t touch beachfront property if they cut the price 50 percent after seeing what these hurricanes can do.

It is going to be impossible to remove all the debris from the ocean but if they drop them down into their footprints in a controlled demo it will be so much easier to collect and remove. Sorry for your loss... But at least all your belongings are still ok. Even if they can somehow save these buildings, there is no beach left, so I don't see the tourists coming back.

      We did not have time. We do not get help from FEMA. At best, the building (HOA paid by us) will get an SBA loan at a reasonable rate to repair whatever insurance doesn't cover. If it collapses, that's another story.

    Relatively inexpensive? Are you kidding me here? Really? Like 500,000 to a million is relatively inexpensive? 🤦 I'm on SS in Ormond by the sea and can't even buy food sometimes, this is why the rich don't get it. 😥 guess it is all relative, pun intended 🤦
    All I can say is I prayed and prayed for the last 5 years that I've been living here that someone could at least rent me their place at $900 a month. All I ever wanted was to be able to sit on my balcony and look at the water all day and night. I used to walk down the beach and look at those buildings and say nobody's even sitting on the balcony, ever!!!! I used to say to God, God if you get me a place on the water I'd be so grateful, I'd be out there constantly, God why can't I live on the beach and have a balcony? There was never anything that I could afford, and I prayed and I looked. All I can say is God knows better than I cz I wouldn't have had a place to live. Sometimes God says no for a very good reason, and I've learned to trust Him. I'm a block back from the beach and nothing touched me at all, not even flooding in either storm, praise the Lord 🙌🙌🙌

    • @Floroseven
      @Floroseven  Рік тому +4

      In Orlando (where the decent jobs are), you can't get into a single family home in a decent neighborhood for under $450k. For what many perceive to be a luxury condo on the beach, these go for $550k (I paid much less 5 years ago) to $1.5M (the penthouses). That's not inexpensive for a luxury item. 50% of our building is seniors who worked their whole lives to live here. They're all middle to upper middle class...not "expensive". Especially by the left coast's standards...or much of Florida's cost for that matter. Hey, Thanks for the comment! Please like and sub if you haven't!

      It is a relative thing. I own a Florida home worth about 450k for a second home and we are just minnows in Florida. I wouldn’t let what you see there make you feel bad about you. I opt right out of that competition. The richest people in America own property in Florida so you see a concentration of just that. Not to mention some inherit generational wealth. When we furnished our home, we bought the stuff on marketplace and picked it up with a Uhaul. Great stuff rich people give away, couple of scrubs in a Uhaul we felt like, sort of like back when we were young and broke. I always wanted beach front property too, all my life. I worked long hours and tried like hell with no exceptional luck or skill. Ian went right over my house in the Cape. The houses I wanted down in the southeast cape, on the canals were destroyed. Those were 800k and above. I feel really fortunate my property didn’t take much damage, and I no longer aspire for the waterfront dream. I can drive to the beach or marina and that’s just fine. God has a way of getting priorities straight and I was already extremely fortunate to just have what I do. We were down over Halloween weekend, landscaping and we gave away a bunch of our furniture to retirees who’d lost everything, even stuff we planned on keeping. They lived in ft Myers beach, in trailers and their homes were destroyed.
