Rezone
Homeowners still grumble about the zoning rule, but they are used to it now, and about 10% of homes are now elevated. The regulations are a moving target – one very upset homeowner had to elevate for a SECOND time, because the minimum elevation amount had gone from six feet to eight feet in the ten years between renovations

Rezone + Grants
The grant program is popular, although mostly as a way to avoid extra expense from the zoning change. After fifteen years 30% of the homes have been elevated. Critics still grumble about the expense. Windy Point residents pride themselves on being used to storms, and shrug off concerns about storm dangers increasing as sea level rises.

Breakwater
The breakwater is in great shape! In addition to breaking the waves, it also provides habitat for fish, oysters, and other organisms, and it has slowed erosion of beach areas around Windy Point. It has not needed any serious maintenance yet, although the town has been warned to budget for this in a few decades.
