After they finish all the devolpment down there at the pass will you still beable to drive around the pass under the bridge?

Probably not but don't worry, sooner or later a good hurricane will move through there and will let those idiots understand why they shouldn't build directly on the beach.

A lot of those houses down there are only wind rated at 115 mph. That is coming straight from a buddy of mine who works for CenTex, who built a lot of those homes. These are the same 1200 square foot houses that are going for $300,000-$500,000.

Stupid crap like that is the reason insurance coverage along the coast is so high and why it will not be available in the future.

No kiddin I can't believe all those folks built those houses on right there on the beach. Then they try and cut off the beach access and act like it's their own private beach. I drove down there a couple of weeks ago and parked my truck infront of where I was fishin the surf and got all these looks from everyone on their golf carts. I really can't believe someone built that huge hotel there on the west end. But like you said a hurricane will fix things nice and quick.

I went to Missippi in June and the first 6-7 blocks in from the beach are swept clean. It will take many years to recover. Those building on the coast should take a look. New Orleans was nothing compared to Gulfport/Biloxi/Ocean Springs.
