Views of the bay at Island Park are rapidly becoming extinct - see the pictures below. We used to be able to see the bay, look across the water at the city skyline or see people walking along side the water. Interesting and nice views. Now we see the back end of boats. And more of this type view is coming. The docks are creeping closer to the end of the peninsula.
Apparently this is another effect of growth. Parking for the cars and parking for the boats. We hear about the need for more boating access in Sarasota and how Marina Jack is helping address this. If so, why are most of the boats registered in far-away places and hardly ever taken from their dock. It would appear that they are owned by out of town (rich) people that take up space in case they want to visit.
We all hear that growth happens. And we hear the market speaking to us again: sold to the highest bidder!. This view belongs only to those that can afford it. The rest can look at the back of the boat.
