Why are so many people struggling with what is being proposed? The fact that you have warm memories of these places doesn't mean that they make any sense, from an ecological or engineering standpoint. Neither does the fact that someone made a lot of money before the storm blew the places away like they were sand castles. If what has happened at Orient doesn't lead people to understand the ultimate folly of building things within 50 metres or so of the waterline, nothing will.
