What do people really think of having paid parking on Sullivan’s Island?
All for it, as long as residents get a sticker to put on their car to be exempt from it.
 
Why is this fair- I have been coming to the beach for years and I support your commercial district.
 
Sure, considering that the neighboring beaches, Folly and Isle of Palms, have paid parking. Sullivan’s can certainly use the revenue for the many projects they need completed, mainly installing the stormwater drainage.
 

What do you think of Sullivan's Island's new noise ordinance, restricting noise from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM?
Ridiculous -- what next, we will get fined to just walk in the commercial district?
 
All for it -- people cannot keep their windows open at night anymore because of the noise.
 
I am just going to go elsewhere to make some noise!
