Oh no, not your tennis court. What a shame. What a darn tragic loss for our nobility. Oh why can't the climate adjust to save your beachfront home. How could the earth be so inconsiderate for our rich land owners.
Won't somebody think of the property values??!??
They literally have children songs about not building houses too close to the beach
I'm blanking on this. What's the song?
Wise Man Built His House Upon the Rock Song by VeggieTales
Religious children's song

Not home - property implying one of many, and be owns his own private beach tennis court... But I mean I guess it could've been two words:
To be fair a lot of these homes have been there for 50-100 years (some way older). Salisbury (and parts of Hampton just north) is relatively poor compared to much of the New England sea coast, but those look like pretty expensive homes. Just a road or 2 over is a lot lower income. lots of fishermen lived there traditionally. That part of the Atlantic coast was settled and built before the idea of public land was really well defined unlike parts of California and the west coast.
