Editor’s Note: The following series, “Life in Radically Gentrifying Cayucos by the Sea,” to be posted biweekly includes the notes, thoughts, and opinions of an original American voice:
Not to mention the siphoning off of most of the character and characters who once lent this town so much of its personality and color. Work hard, my ass! It’s a money game that contributes nothing to the community and has shredded the middle class for decades, and it’s getting worse. Small towns are notorious for community togetherness, for looking out and after one another, for running into each other and visiting, catching up, of knowing there is support.
Never one to begrudge friends of mine in town who build these behemoths, or work on them, I always wait hopefully for somebody to move into them after they are finished. But that is a rare occasion, and usually the new neighbors are largely invisible and protective of not only what they own, but themselves, as they have nothing in common with the scattering of longtime locals still hanging on.Cayucos is one of the most beautiful places on earth.
