As opposed to your assumption that waiting until the
mess is cleaned up isn't going to cause problems for
an economy already badly damaged, I think mine is
the more rational guess.

From someone who has no idea what the situation is. Mine is the more
informed. You aren't here; you have no idea. EOS

Blaming the problem on "tourists" is
just naive.

As if that were what I was doing.

Yes, that is exactly what you were doing.

People coming over to surf aren't tourists. Geddit?

Besides, most of the people to whom I
refer are just here to go surfing.

And continuing to do. You are very bad at keeping
your lying consistent

I'm not lying; I'm stating the opinion that we don't need a bunch of people
coming over here getting in the way when all the traffic lights are out and
gas stations are closed. Is that too difficult for your sensibilities?

if you can't manage to
transition from one sentence to the next in the same
paragraph without tripping over yourself.

The loser's opt out.

They contribute nothing to the economy.

Their cars consume no fuel, their stomachs go unfed,
their bodies require no shelter, they buy no film
and develop no photographs, they eschew souveniers?

That's pretty much it - the stores were all closed. You'd know that if
you'd read what I wrote - or even better were actually here you wouldn't
seem so foolish.

You are a _really_ unskilled liar.

heh, that the best you can do?

Why do you assume that "growth in Florida" has any
different effects than "growth anywhere?"

I'm talking about the barrier island in Brevard County Florida. No place
else. Please try to follow along. Shall I paste in a link to a map? I
mean, I'm really trying to work with you here.

Florida's
roads were a mess in 1966 when I was there,

See above - I refer to Brevard barrier islands. Had you been here then (as
I was) you'd know better than to write something so foolish.

in 1974
when I was there,

When people were walking away from houses here due to Apollo layoffs
earlier.
You don't have any idea what either one if us is writing about. I've been
here (the place I'm writing about) since 1959.


Under the best circumstances our roads are backed
up.

That is a truism almost everywhere in the world.

Which does nothing to invalidate my statement. Trust me bucko, it's even
worse when all the traffic lights are out. You'd understand that, if you
were here.

Roads get constructed with money begrudgingly
authorized by taxpayers only when the traffic
situation gets absolutely unbearable. They are
_never anywhere on earth_ kept always with carrying
capacities five years ahead of the demand, as would
be appropriate to make commuting pain-free and
robust in the face of accidents.

Irrelevant drivel.


It is simply not too much to ask that people stay
away until the place gets put back together.

Yes, it is, in large part because it is not
"outsiders who haven't stayed away", but "locals
(clueless goobers _exactly_ like you) who are
completely informed about the problems, but _still_
refuse to keep off the roads until the roads are fit
to use, and then whine about the results as if it
were someone else's fault than their own" that are
the proximate cause of the problems about which you
are kvetching.

As you seem to have abandoned all rational thought
on the issue, I'll just ignore any further responses
from you, in my long-running campaign to let the
invincibly ignorant of the Net find other playmates
than me.

There is nothing outrageous about wanting people to stay off a barrier
island until the traffic lights are up and the gas stations are open. Nice
meltdown though.
