...coastal erosion is a national problem; one-quarter of the nation's shores are suffering serious erosion, and a number of resort areas, such as Miami Beach, have been ravaged. Padre is no exception. "The shoreline of South Padre Island has been retreating at least since the late 1800s," wrote University of Texas Geologist Robert Morton in a 1975 report.

The administration now approaches the idea of allocation-rationing very warily, insisting that it is only a last resort. This is roughly analogous to rationing water in a desert when there's only a few drops left in the canteen. The time for rationing is earlier on, before the supplies are gone. If an equitable, and not necessarily severe, program of rationing coupled with price controls were instituted...
