Sell property, lose view

On the sale of the Kirsch property, consider: The property will be gone forever. The view will be gone forever. The potential for a creative public use will be gone forever.

And the proceeds from a sale will soon disappear into the murky waters of an ever-thirsty budget process, never to be seen again.

With all this disappearance, what will be left is one – count them one – very happy family (and all its succeeding generations), occupying precious waterfront property with stunning views of the Channel, north and south. They may, or may not, invite you over.
