Also, do not believe that the CPO that protects Gullah/Geechee property ownership stops Gullah/Geechees from doing things with their land. That is NOT true! You simply cannot build gated areas and golf courses! All building cost a considerable amount of money on this coast. So, do not be fooled that a massive number of St. Helena Islanders want to build things that cost hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to build!

Here is a critical quote from this article:

"Unfortunately, your proposed Development Agreement still falls short in at least three major areas that continue to make it
unacceptable to both the majority of St. Helena property owners, and all the members of the Beaufort County Planning Commission: First, it would require either dismantling, or granting of an exemption from the CPO protections against golf courses, resorts, and new gated communities that could set a dangerous precedent that will undoubtedly create a domino effect of rapid development on St. Helena.

Second, it shows willful strategic indifference to the greatest fear that your Gullah neighbors across the island share, i.e., the loss of their beloved ancestral land due to soaring property taxes that they can’t afford to pay independently, and being displaced by developers buying shares of their heirs’ property, resulting in forced sales to clear the title."

Keep standing up to Protect St Helena! We binya and ain gwine nowhey!
