Did not say that. If for public use, fix with public dollars. If a limited user group benefits, then their dollars should be used.
Plugging an inlet breach affects everyone who lives, works and plays on the bay. Just because a local community receives some benefit doesn't mean it should be entirely on them.
Yes, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes, supernovas, etc. all happen naturally so we shouldn’t remediate the damage that

Earthquake's can happen anywhere.
But living near an active volcano as well as on the water is a conscious decision.

Nature opened the breach, let her close it. Can't be anti-government only when it's convenient.
More to come!
A tropical storm warning will be issued for Bermuda Fernand will be the next named storm

So, let's get everybody out of the west and midwest because tornados, and out of the mountains, because blizzards and avalanches, and away from the water because hurricanes? No more fish or fishing because it's risky? Every place has its risks. Granted, I don't have a lot of sympathy for the beach house crowd. But you're kind of making the argument that the people that build those stilt houses on the San Andreas Fault deserve compensation when the house falls in.
Infrastructure is one of very few proper functions of government. Just like the military, it's not something individuals can take care of themselves. Even that they're lousy at, but it's a necessary evil.

Infrastructure=highways, bridges, water/sewer, etc
NOT
Sand dunes or beach replenishment
Nature didnt create our highways but she did create the barrier islands. From time to time, those islands get washed over and breaches occur.
An article from CBS:
The ocean is taking more than it gives on Martha's Vineyard. Each storm is cutting deeper into South Beach in Edgartown, and the pace is accelerating.
"The storms are coming a bit harder and faster," said Edgartown conservation agent Kara Shemeth.
The town has been racing to rebuild dunes, replant grass, and hold the line. But even Shemeth admits, one powerful storm can undo years of work in a single day. When asked if the town's efforts are futile, she answered, "Absolutely. Especially right after a big one hits and we have to shut down."
Tropical storm Fernand has formed it will not effect the United States. This is the last update

Right, we never modify or reconstruct natural features to protect or benefit people's lives or developments. Strangely, last time I went through Shinnecock inlet it didn't look like a lot of sand. There were some rocks that didn't appear like they just washed up there. :unsure:
Good thing you weren't in charge of Montauk point when they did all that terracing to reduce erosion. Would you recommend we just let nature claim the lighthouse and real estate out there?
Yeah, erosion is an endless battle. But IMHO it's usually one worth fighting. I'm okay with dredging inlets and replenishing the barrier beaches. I think most people would like the inlets to remain navigable and to be able to go to the beach sometimes and leave the bay to be a bay and not turn the south shore into oceanfront property.
I am ready to sound the all clear for this hurricane season for NYC and long Island. Might see swells from offshore tropical storms and hurricanes

The fat lady hasn’t sung yet.
We haven’t even reached the peak of the season yet. That will be September 10th based on historical data for named Atlantic Storms from 1851 through 2019.

This time of year these storms typically roll off the coast of Africa on an almost weekly basis. They start over land as powerful thunderstorms and when they hit the Atlantic in the vicinity of Capo Verde Islands they become tropical depressions, and can intensify on their westward track.
