Seeing this here in the Mid-west with $ pouring out of Cali/AZ/NV for 2-4 family housing and/or apartment complexes. Frankly they inflate the market, but they don't care b/c they need to part with $.

With Ian what you will see is something called Assemblage (2 or more parcels combined to accomidiate a larger single lot for development) As others have said, these older structures that were wiped out may not be able to built back to meet codes and/or there highest and best use. Thats where your large scale condo's may be built, but that will remain to be seen. In the Panhandle there are still chunks of prime grounds still empy after Hurricane Michael and Sally

IMO given how our branches of government have been weaponized against "We the People" you can bet FEMA will be a red ass about re-development. Don't be surprised if the EPA, NOAA and Corp of Engineers gets envolved with this and excludes some areas from even being re-built. At that point here comes the lawsuits and the State of Florida will have to load up the lawyers as the cost to an individual to fight against Uncle Joe will be greater than the value of the land loss. With the loss of beaches in aeas and errosion of other coastal islands and grounds they now have an open door to do what they please.

Boat survived at their dock and is floating but has massive fiberglass damage.

Also learned Diversified lost their forklift and travel lift in the storm with electrical parts for repairs being 4 months out.

So not a single travel lift available in fort myers.

With LOTO used to generate power the Feds stepped into to seize more control of a privately owned lake. They will make this play again in FL and if they can seize private property from owners or control individual property rights, they will................. deral Energy Regulatory CommissionFederal Energy Regulatory Commission

We need your help in reversing this action by NOAA. Please take action today on the industry’s grassroots platform, Boating United, and ask the agency to incorporated much needed changes to its proposal to ensure the health of both the right whale population and recreational fishing and boating.

We kindly ask that you forward this email to all employees and others in the industry ahead of theOctober 31st deadline.

I also always think Right Whale is spelled wrong but looked it up. Who the heck came up with that one.
