This pile of sand has been here for at least 3 years. I presume they want to use it for some kind of construction purpose.

@SemioticRivalry 3 years and it never washes/blows away? seems like someone should just box it in with 2x4s and make a sandbox

I'm going to need you all to add some more liquidity to justify deploying my spy satellite and making some political contributions to important local politicians on behalf of the Remove the Pile of Sand Lobby.
