The Coronado Beach neighborhood, south of Flagler Avenue in Florida, has changed greatly in the past few years. Before, it was known for its scenic coastal views and peaceful older beach homes. Not to mention its relatively small-town feel. But due to recent tourist developments, The Coronado Beach neighborhood, ideal for its close proximity to the beaches, has been “invaded” by more modern structures. Plenty of developers are offering old-time residents hefty amounts for their properties which they can redevelop into condominiums.

Many residents have expressed their indignation over this. They do not want to relinquish their homesteads and they stand firmly against the more commercial redevelopment of their peaceful community.
