But you should respect our community. Don't sell to developers. I understand that as an agent you must by law show the house to anyone, other wise your license can be revoked. Not to mention jail time. But homeowners, please don't just look at the $$ signs! Remember where you came from. You don't have to accept every offer. Please look at the person behind the $$ sign!

Just look at what is happening to emmons Avenue , that looks like the future of GB and no one even speaks english anymore .. I feel like a stranger in my own area of the city . Every extra lot is being sold and developed, what a shame! All Jemel is looking at is big $$$ signs.

When the New York Times first published a spread in the real estate section about the Beach, comparing it to a "a quaint little New England fishing village", including pictures of various points of interest, the local real estate agents were all smiles, but there were others of us who saw it as it was -- a death knell to what the Beach had been. Now we see all these developers and real estate agents swarming over the place. Trees are cut down, houses torn down, gardens bulldozed, access to water fronts blocked -- all so developers can make a quick buck before they move on to new areas to destroy. Take a walk down Canton Court between Cyrus and Seba for a prime example of what they have done to the Beach. Complete lack of imagination, cookie cutter buildings -- and what's with this boring sameness of color? Is there no other color in the developers' catalog? Thank God I have great memories of the Beach before it was discovered and ruined by all these wonderful developers and builders. Too bad it took so long for the building slump to kick in.

Sure, the Tamaqua Marina is quaint and nice-looking, but if that's what "a little bit of Florida" is like, then they can keep it! I can't tell you how many rats I've seen in that very space while walking to and from the U.A over the years. they must have gotten an *amazing* deal on that strip of land... p.s. Is the name of the complex poking fun at the "Irish Riviera" ?
