Are you saying you are one of them??

Nice place to visit but not sure I'd want to live there. :-)

On the other hand, if you gave me a beach house on the Gulf...

I lived on Sanibel for almost a year (1983) but winter made me run to
the peaceful town of Estero. Now I am buried again.
Sanibel is a strange place. They like to pretend they are a lightly
developed island but the population density is one of the higest in
the county. The bushes hide it but the houses are on tiny lots. In my
(rental) house there on East Gulf we felt like we had to pull our feet
up in bed when a car went past because we were so close to the road.
(grey piling house at Shell Basket and Gulf). It was tolerable in the
summer but in winter cars went by all night long. This is in the zig
zags between the causeway road (old Hilton) and Donax. I lost a
mailbox and a pygmy date palm to cars that missed the turn. Another
one smacked that big queen palm in the yard and lost the battle.

my parents almost bought us a house on Pine Island about 10 years
back, really wish I had known, I would have pushed them a little.
