What is the demographic of the people who will boost the population of BH to 6300? I don't think it will be young families because of the housing cost. I'll bet it will be retirees living here seasonally and young professionals with no children. We have lost our neighborhoods and there is no way to turn the hands of time back. My boys are 42-50yo and grew up in a neighborhood on Ledgelawn Ave. Ash Street was a neighborhood. Spring St. was a neighborhood. Lower Rodick St., Kennebec St. and Holland Ave. were neighborhoods. They were the essence of BH and are all gone and they aren't coming back. I really think we've turned the corner and are like Cape Cod and Nantucket or as they say, no one really lives there anymore.
Thank you for reporting on this...and that the graphics have qualifiers. Honestly, I don't know why I bother with the Islander anymore.
Oh, Anne. I will never be able to tell you how much I needed this today. It's a wonderful birthday present. Thank you.
