Once again I have to address the total ignorance of the situation in North Carolina.
#1 NO ONE BUILT THEIR HOUSE NEXT TO THE OCEAN
Most the motels and cottages were made between 20 to 71 years ago when the water was hundreds of yards away.
No the beach erosion is not natural, do not give me this let nature take its course crap
Looked like THIS 
Not THIS
IF the government had not put in jetties, there would not be so much beach erosion north of them. Imagine damming up a river and then just letting the dam break. Of course there would be flooding. Well if you make jetties you have to maintain them, as half a jetty is more deadly than none. Having one sitting out there with a hole in it just sucks out sand.
Compounding this was were the geniuses of the army corpse of engineers who dug out pipes and tanks that had created an oil leak from the abandoned cost guard base that had been converted into a monstrous empty housing project created during the 2008 mortgage back security scam. This created a sink hole that also contributed to erosion. Once again the government did that.
It was the government that initially removed sand from the exact spots that flooded by the dump truck load to fill in a swamp to place a naval base which was later converted to a coast guard base 1986. This was relocated in 2005 and the National Park Service took over the 49 acre lot. They sold the 8 arce portion that had cost guard housing on it to private developers from Sylakama, LLC. run by a Yankee from Illinois, Lee Pontes who role plays as a Virginian.
The Yank built a 45-unit complex consists of 23 separate buildings: 24 two-bedroom, 14 three-bedroom and seven four-bedroom units, most with carports, screened porches, and decks. When the natural historic district zoning — which restricts multifamily and group housing — was put in place, the housing complex was still owned by the Coast Guard. Since the federal government is exempted from county zoning regulations, the complex was considered a legal non-conforming use.
Well how about that the government creating another problem again.
The government
removed the sand by the dump truck load
created and then broke a base
developed property there selling Park land to be developed by a yankee (former government employee to) who sold it to other yankees that no local could afford
abandoned the property which created an oil leak
dug that up and did so poorly which created more beach erosion
built and then neglected the jetties which caused massive erosion
sat on their thumbs as more than 30 properties were swallowed by the Sea.
It was also the government that built the dune network across the entire island. It is counter intuitive but sand dunes actually make more erosion and water damage as they trap in even rain water between the dunes and the road. DOT (Department of Transportation) loss a lawsuit over this. Ai was unaware of it until I gave it specific names.
The DOT is also more Government.
So when Reagan said the most terrifying words in the English language were, “Hi, we’re the government and we’re here to help” boy did he get that right.
Well you will never change anything they said. I am happy to report to every person who said that that that they can eat a bowl of ….
Look at it now.
What is super sad is that this beach was dredged and created in a matter of DAYS. In under a week there was a beach. The next step is to fix the broken jetty.
