To the Editor:

I will be 44 years old in August, and I’ve been coming to LBI since I was 3 years old. Initially, we came as renters, and then in 1984 my brothers and I were fortunate when my parents bought a house on Division Street in Surf City. That is the beach we went to for many years.

I was then lucky enough to buy a place in 2009, only one street from my parents, on North First Street in Surf City, where my kids now ride their bikes up and down the street, and play wiffle ball, lacrosse and whatever…
