Galveston officials should take a trip to Rodanthe, NC. Last week, two more homes were swept into the ocean while the over-wash closed parts of SR-12.

This construction will fail within 20 years. But Galveston will raise some tax money.

When the Gulf encroaches on the condos, who will pay to protect or demolish the buildings?
