St. Augustine, Florida, is under siege—not by armies, but by cruise ships. City officials claim these floating resorts will bring “low-impact” tourism and economic benefits, but the truth is far more damaging. Cruise ship passengers don’t linger, don’t spend much outside their pre-arranged tours, and don’t contribute meaningfully to the local economy. Instead, they bring overcrowding, environmental strain, and a disruption to the very charm that makes this city special.
In this video, I break down how this reckless decision threatens the oldest city in America, why local leaders are ignoring the warning signs, and what YOU can do to help stop it before it’s too late. If you care about preserving St. Augustine’s history, culture, and livability, this is a fight you can’t afford to ignore.
📢 Take Action Now: Contact city officials, attend upcoming meetings, and make your voice heard before it’s too late!
