St. Joe CEO Rummell to step down

[Bobby J]

I personally prefer what Mother Nature "did" with the place before JOE "created" the cartoon villages. I took a stroll through this area in the 1970s on a beautiful Spring day and I'll tell you--you are wrong.

You know my love for you is strong but does that not really sum up everywhere a home has ever been built.

As far a JOE's stock goes; paying $36-and-change for 1? of net income (and no dividend) is a bit rich for my blood.

Other than that...

And on that 70's stroll on the beach, there wasn't things like this:

I agree with what your saying in some ways but your first post came off like you were completely against any growth. Yet, you live here. I am sure at some time or another someone was upset when you built your home. BTW, I do not pay a bit of attention to any of those stupid signs placed on the beaches. They are actually quite handy when we set up a volleyball net!

I think this "private beach" issue--which started with JOE and has now spread to the gulf front SFH/condos--is going to get progressively worse going forward. If that is the "growth" of which you speak, then yes, I am completely against it.

But, in the words of Robert Davis, founder of Seaside, published on page 8 of the Seaside Times, Early Spring 2008 issue writing about the private beach signs and no trespassing attitudes:

"...because the spirit of openness which I believe is an important part of our community is in danger, and our most beautiful views--of the Gulf of Mexico as framed by our beach pavilions--have been marred. I know a community of intelligent citizens can find better solutions to its problems."

Thank you, Robert Davis. I certainly hope you are right!

Big difference between building a home and staking a claim. You can easily add to a community and have your own personal space & expression without claiming a natural resource as your exclusive property to be vigorously defended against all comers.

I think the issue is going to get progressively worse as well but I also feel that is what is going to solve the issue. That is not the "growth" of which I speak. My position on "private beaches" is and has been very clear on these boards. There is no such thing! Period! Now, back to the draw bridge theory. At some point none of us were wanted here. Why do we get to declare what growth we think is best for the area?

I don't expect you to "get it" now, but you will understand sometime down the road. Remember? I have a crystal ball ;-).

Speak for yourself, people love me so much I've got 3 sets of self declared adoptive parents! Although maybe they just felt I needed more supervison/guidance ;-).

We get to declare growth 'cuz we know better!

I've never understood why Walton County didn't follow the Growth Managment Plan passed by the Florida Legislature in the mid-80s...

Oh yeah, I guess I do understand.:roll:
