Curious on your voting decision--how long have you been waiting, when do you expect to get dock space under the current system, how old are you? (hope that is not too personal)

I'd be happy to answer these questions, but none of them are relevant.
How long I expect to wait means nothing. My age means nothing.
That is emotional trivia.

This is simple supply and demand.
Supply is limited. Once you obtain a space, it is yours for life or until:
1. You sell or refuse to pay the annual fee
2. You decide to give it up
3. You repeatedly break the rules of usage

I could see room for a #4 Grandstanding on a grandfathered in space, but never using it.(Only within an association. Private ownership is ownership, used or not)

Other than that, what makes a newcomer (including me) think they can bump someone who has been here for years and has invested in a boat and lifestyle surrounding the space they waited years for?
