    I love this story. From people banding together and building a sand barrier on the beach to stop the ocean. To the idea that they MUST know sandbags exist but they never considered why people don’t just skip the bags and dump sand, to not one person mentioning climate change or sea level increase even though that’s clearly the problem, to the one guy saying “it’s mother nature you just have to accept it”. 5 stars, would deny climate change and fix the problem with sand piles again.

      The best part is that their previous sand dune was removed by storms and high tides in 2022, so their solution was to build another sand dune, which took a year, and was immediately removed by storms and high tides.

      You can’t make this shit up.

        When I first came here, this was all beach. Everyone said I was daft to build a house on a beach, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the ocean. So I built a second one. That sank into the ocean. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the ocean. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Lad, the strongest house in all of the coast.

      You just know they went for sand piles because they didn’t want to ruin their beachfront with more stable constructions.
