Afwjam, 3/4 of the neighbors in Waa Waa are against paving? Where did you find this figure? Some of my friends/neighbors in Waa Waa were against paving initially, but have now changed their minds.

All the people I have met in person have been against paving, the only people I have heard for paving are those on the internet. Seems like most the people I have met don't have internet. The 3/4 statistic came from a friend of mine who lives there.

So, in other words, no proof that that stat is correct for how the residents of Waa Waa feel about paving. I can tell you that some who weren't initially pro-paving changed their minds out of sheer frustration from how poorly the road has been maintained by the county. The real issue isn't paving vs. not paving. The real issue is how to keep Government Beach Road regularly maintained so it is driveable, bike friendly, walkable and safe.
I think you can relate to that feeling of sheer frustration if you remember how you posted about the speed bumps in Hawaiian Shores.
Those of us who chose to live off grid in Waa Waa did so because we love the area. The friends and neighbors I have here aren't looking to change the magic of Waa Waa. I have several neighbors on my road who are elderly and/or ailing. I want them to be able to have access to an ambulance if needed.
