Saw this on a local FB page and thought I would share. The area really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. The taxes are low, we are minutes from the ocean and we need more families/home owners (vs. slum lords) to help keep the community moving forward. If you have any questions about living in the area, feel free to FM me. I have lived here almost all of my life and still do.
