Mack, first of all, I agree with you on not liking the large condo complexes with giant, gulag looking buildings.
But, the ever-present snobbery by single family occupants only shows a lack of knowledge about Lake Martin and human effects.
Think of how much natural scenery would have been saved, if everyone there occupied condos.(just a thought)
Single family residences have accounted for hundreds of miles of shoreline being destroyed, defaced, and personalized. Go back and look at the lake in the 60's, before the continuing boom, and you will see a scenic, natural lake with a few residences and fish camps.
While I'm at it, you will also find less under-mined shoreline and more native plants. People could actually fish on the weekends during warm weather. A small boat could traverse the waters at the mouth of Blue Creek without capsizing.
In summary, while most of this is not inter-connected except by the population explosion, the snobbery at times on this board needs to be directed from the "elite" to the mirror.
