For the Residences at North Harbor, I see advertised on their website "500 feet of private Lake Superior beach frontage." (https://www.northharbormarquette.com/) Do you know, will the beach itself be private or just the condominium property adjoining the beach? I would hate to see a private beach preventing folks from walking along the shoreline there.
Michigan Supreme Court rejected the idea of private beaches a long time ago... look up "beachwalker" case. If it's accessible by foot nobody can stop you from walking in the sand on MI coastline.
Illegal Immigration is a sticky issue.
More *legal* immigration would be great but that (along with illegal immigration) won't help with our looming population crisis because birthrates worldwide are below "replacement rate" (and declining) making population shifts between countries a "zero sum game": https://www.wsj.com/world/birthrates-global-decline-cause-ddaf8be2?st=0xbztqjjvzvluuk&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

Based on the renderings, it appears to be the latter, given that a road separates the property and the beach.
I don’t believe maritime law allows that. If there’s beach, it’s public.
I enjoy your newsletter, you generally do an excellent job. But I am disappointed to see you cherry pick 2 years and imply a trend.
It’s Baraga AVENUE, not Street
