The assistance they could benefit from most is not financial but a
short educational course on basic construction science. Sand is not a
great building material. It even mentions that in the bible (Matthew
7:24-27).

- aimonster2 3y agoI really despise the EPA. They have moved beyond their original charter of protecting the environment to protecting the property of some rich people at the expense of others--including poor people. I bet there's places in Massachussets that has similar properties but are the 'right kind' of rich people so they get variances. And by right kind, I mean people who have generational wealth and not just wealth that was earned by years of hard work like most shore town home owners.
- nonrandomstring 3y agoI did read the article and it was still a stupid thing to do. It was stupid with or without government approval and it was stupid whether or not I read the article. What was your point?
