This multi-storied condominium building appears to be growing out of the mangroves. In fact, it basically is...this is an example of zoning and construction permitting at its worst IMHO. Fortunately, it is fairly rare in this part of southwest Florida (especially compared to the southeast corridor), but I can't even begin to imagine the displaced flora and fauna with the addition of this tower to the landscape. Sometimes we don't learn from our mistakes until they are so blatantly obvious - guess that's the nature of the pendulum swing! State Road 951, Marco Shores, FL
