A group of nine owners of beachfront dune shacks in Provincetown, Massachusetts, are protesting National Park Service plans to move ahead with 10-year leases to new owners.
When they found out, they barred Mr. Del Deo from the shack he had been using for more than seven decades. The elder Schnell’s remaining daughter wants Mr. Del Deo and family to remain in control of their shack;“We’re not even allowed to bid [on the shack] right now. We don’t know when that might be possible, or under what conditions. We’re not their enemy. But we are being treated like their enemy. And we wish that they wouldn’t treat us that way,” Romolo Del Deo, Mr.
In a statement on Instagram, Mr. Del Deo and family remained defiant, arguing that removing the shacks would, while preserving the visual aesthetic of the shoreline, destroy the culture that has been built up there. “We are intrinsic to the Cape Cod National Seashore. The park was created to preserve both the nature and the folklore, transforming the dune dwellings into a Potemkin village will not preserve them, the structures may endure but the culture will be broken,” Mr. Del Deo wrote.
Particularly galling to the Del Deo family is that Mr. Del Deo’s late wife Josephine was a major activist in gettingto cede the land that the shacks rest on to the Cape Cod National Seashore; the government at the time was seen as the lesser evil. “They saw the park as the only solution to the overwhelming amount of people who came on the weekends, and the investors. The park would be the lesser evil because they will maintain the purity of the back shore,” Mr. Del Deo told WBZ-TV.notice to leave is “a betrayal, really, of the goodwill that we all finally embraced with the park.”
