I couldn't agree with you more. A company called Cay Clubs is buying up large properties all over the Keys and developing overpriced condos. Even the local developers like the Swifts, the Spottswood's, and Pritham Singh have sold out our town.

Holiday Inn Beachside went condo. Marthas/Benihanas is getting torn down for condos. More and more of the salt ponds are getting developed. Even up in my neighborhood on Summerland Key, huge mansions are being built everywhere. Across the canal from me, a 7800 SF monstrosity is going up.

Don't get me wrong. I still love it here. But the development has gone beyond ridiculous.
