A Perfect Example...

...of there being two sides to every story. When you start to read this article, your first thought is "How could they do that to those poor, poor people." Then you get to the former Senator's comments and you're like, "Oh, yeah. that does make sense." It reminds me of when they decided to widen the boardwalks down here in San Diego. For years they allowed homeowners on the beach to use city land with the understanding that it could be taken back at any time. When they finally decided to widen the boardwalks (much needed, btw.) they took it back and all the homeowners cried foul and filed suits and wept to the media because they could keep their free patios. So they got us all back by banning booze on the beach. A-holes.

Its a tough call. My uncle is losing his vacation home of 20 years because it is built on leased US Govt. land.

The rule I learned from my uncle is always own your land.

This lesson furthers that. Own your land, and also understand that you should not buy where mother nature can instantly put you on Govt. owned land.
