Revamped zoning laws threaten America's last Gullah Geechee community

TL;DR Summary
Sapelo Island, one of America's last intact Gullah Geechee communities, is at risk due to revamped zoning laws that allow for larger homes, potentially leading to million-dollar properties and higher property taxes. This could price out current homeowners and threaten the cultural heritage of the community. The situation is seen as a battle of rich versus poor, with racial disparity playing a role as well. The descendants of the community are concerned about the future of their historic enclave.
