A full beach town and a buildable piece of land are two different things, though they rarely look it from the outside. I still remember a gorgeous lot near a busy shoreline that everyone assumed was prime. Turned out the title was split across a whole family, the water supply was thin, and the only road in went underwater every rainy season. The town was thriving the entire time. But the land just was not ready to carry anything yet. That gap fascinates me. The crowd and the ground almost never move at the same speed, and the space between them is where the interesting opportunities quietly sit.
