Wisteria Island, there seems to be an issue about who owns it (the county sold it to a developer, now Obama says he owns it and the county didn't own it to sell it).There are also issues about the cost of running power, water, sewage out there (if you read wiki, there was an attempt to get it annexed by Key West, meaning it would be considered part of Key West which has relaxed building codes, >> Under Key West's more relaxed building codes, 168 units could have been built on the island. >> Under Monroe County building codes, only two units can be built on the island, unless an exemption is granted.[9] This fact made large-scale development of the island unlikely.read more over at wikihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisteria_Islandhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_IslandThanks for the reply.I thought that Wisteria has no properties built on maybe has to do with shoals as seems to show google maps.
