| Subject: | Re: [roatan] Construction Destruction of West Bay |
Just one more comment/opinion to add to the issue. WOW!! Great job and cudos to all who stopped this project. My husband and I also came to Roatan for it's undeveloped and pristine enviroment and as many, are saddened buy it's destruction by these money grabbing carpetbaggers. Developement and progress is one thing, but raping the island and all of it's natural ressources is another. These "developers" are able to do as they please, all in the name of progress, without any regard to what it is doing to the islands's natural resources, by lining the right pockets. The water, sewage/garbage and most of all, the electric supply, cannot keep up with the thousands of homes and apartments that are being constructed. In a very few years, water is going to be the most precious commodity on the island. It's a little crude, but also true, that my husband always says "where is all the s__t going to go?" Good question, into our beautiful water? As for the petition being torn off the wall in the Sundowner, isn't this destruction of private property? I totally agree with the person who wrote about informing the parent real estate company, Remax, of these dealings. It's just a shame that the associations of West Bay were either not formed, or did not have enough clout at the time, to prevent the another famous carpetbagger from ruining West Bay beach with he monstosity of a condominium that was constructed, encroaching on the legal setbacks mandated by Honduran law to protect the beach. The entire front half of this building needs to be ripped off. It in no way blends into the natural ambience of the beach and sticks out like a sore thumb. I guess it all comes down to the money issue. He who has enough, gets what he wants. Sorry about the rambling and I could go on and on, but this type of developement and "prgress" totally and unequivocably infuriates me! Is there no where in the world that those of us who are seeking just a little slice of paradise can go? My only hope is that once the American economy implodes, which it is going to do in the not too distant future, the curtailment of the money supply will bring the raping of the island to a screeching halt.
