Higg's Beach, Home to The Homeless

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Keys Investing LLC

I was unpacking and painting my new house today on Washington Street.  I want to get it all painted before the new furniture comes.  I'm buying all new furniture except a bunch of family antiques.  I want to start off fresh.  Plus I am going to vacation rent the house in Key Haven until the market picks up to sell it so I need to keep it furnished too.  Anyway around 2:00 i needed a break.  I had been at it since 6:00 AM.

I took the dog and went for a walk down to the beach.  It was disgusting.  The crowds of homeless there drinking, swearing, yelling, passed out on the side walk.  Every tourist who walked by harassed to no end.  Is this the picture we want to paint of our island for a tourist.  I am glad I went today.  My sister is coming with her children in February.  I was going to take them to Higgs because we can walk from the house.  We will be driving to Fort Zach.  I feel much better about having a Doberman pincher knowing these vagrants flock near my house.  I might have to find out where the Mayor or police chief live and go down to the beach and offer a bottle of wine to each of them who will sleep in front of the Mayor's and chief's house.  See how fast they will be run out of the city then.
