To the Editor:

As residents of Barnegat Light for over 30 years, we have witnessed many changes. Most have been good, but not all to our benefit. Raising the height restrictions falls into the later category.

Our raised ranch, which has stood proudly for 60 years, is dwarfed on one side by newer construction built prior to Superstorm Sandy. Since then, several homes on our block appear to be taller. Now there is discussion of raising the height restriction by another 2 feet. To what purpose?
