Oddly, there are no hostels in NC but are there any places on the beach for one person with low prices?
-I've also noticed there are no major resorts. Just houses and villa style condos. The NC coast seems severely underdeveloped. I assume this is a political issue but so many opportunities are being missed.
HHmmm...............Socrates, are you possibly applying the "Socratic Method" with your query? For most would expound in great detail to the contrary.

I didn't say undeveloped, I said underdeveloped which means relatively speaking. I think its fair to consider NC with SC and Florida the best beach coastlines in the country but theres a huge difference in the scale of development. I'm hard pressed to find a single resort in nc while there are neverending rows of them in the other states. Some are top of the line 5 stars. Some or lowly and affordable but in NC...only 3 story houses?

Person A-Any structure along the coast line is over-development. Person B-Any condo means over-development. Person C-Anything over 5 stories high is over-development. Person D-Dairy Queens & Putt-putt's along the coast is over-development. Person E- Well-You get the idea.
Who's standards apply? Who's standards are correct? Are these standards for development universal? Are they timeless? Or will the standard for what is considered over-developed change in some time in the near future?
