Money is king , and those whom weild it are the masters, simple. We will never be equal, no matter all the talk. People with money and influence will always have a different strata to walk.

There is a law which has to be respected. That’s the purpose of the Appeals Board. Finally all morons understood that there are no restrictive covenants. Adrian White failed lawyer went into politics and predecessor Diane Holowesko Dunkley was even more incompetent fortunately resigned after short time. How should an Appeals Board decide against the law? $150 m damages lawsuit - fortunately there are decision makers who act responsibly as per the law and not as per stupidity of Self appointed lady lawyers. It’s good for the country to have this investment, and I am sure more will follow in this place of white and black crabs but few persons who understand what lies ahead. Dr.Kovats apparently has good and fearless lawyers.

This man has balls. More to be expected regarding South Ocean - had Perry Christie approved there would be the third New Providence Casino Resort and if BahaMar would have been resolved in a reasonable way Izmirlian wouldn’t have to fight in court and the Christie government wouldn’t have to give away $300 m stamp duty to the Chinese. A lot of s..t will hit the fan.

Bahamas2022 as it relates to South Ocean I heard Albany already brought the old South Ocean Resort from over a year ago and they already got approval to build luxury condominiums and boutique hotels so therefore South Ocean is going to see a major positive impact from Albany in the coming months.

This project should have long ago been stopped dead in its tracks. The unscrupulous vulture Mirko Kovats thinks our country and its declining foreign exchange reserves are so desperate for FDI that he can get away with anything. He should be told "Thank you, but no" and then declared persona non grata.

Let Kovats find another small nation in the Caribbean to prey on. All Bahamians need to show this man that they have plenty of back-bone and no desire to be trampled on by his greed and great wealth. We have a serious shortage of land all over New Providence as it is, and the type, height and scale of The View Love Beach development project he is proposing is most unsuitable for the Love Beach area for way too many reasons that have already been repeatedly communicated to him.

Why hasn't our PM spoken up on behalf of the Bahamian people about this absurd project? Does Kovats now 'own' Davis?

So the same way how you don't approve of The View in Love Beach I guess you didn't approve of Albany in South Ocean being built neither.

I'm on record as having been dead set against the Albany development from the very outset. But Watson and Ingraham were both handsomely rewarded by Joe Lewis and his co-investors for letting that project proceed. Watson even had the highway on the northern border of the Albany project named after him. That alone should tell you something!

Tribanon well the residents of South Ocean seem to be quite comfortable with Albany presently in there midst besides a few people I know that live in South Ocean told me they're glad Albany is there instead of a low cost government subdivision because it's no doubt it would've brought down property values in that area and to further add to my argument is low cost housing developments don't tend to do very very near coastal areas.

Anyone who has been to Love Beach and sees the above picture, will understand that this project is completely disproportionate for the area.

Bingo!

We need to free ourselves of the shackles of bureaucratic red tape that has stifled this Country’s development potential and in the process economically enslaved our people to be beholden to special interest groups with self serving agendas … if an Investor wants to invest in our Country and create employment … let him invest … indeed, a “Welcome and Thank You” might be a nice gesture … it is little wonder with such backward mentality questioning it would seem everything under the Sun that we have been left behind by the rest of the World and our young people have limited employment opportunities today in what should be “the greatest” small Nation in the World.

Kovats is out to destroy Treasure Cay next. He may have made a lot of money somewhere but his track record is not great and he is generally not wanted by locals. But, if you have the money you can get anything done in the Bahamas!

I would be very careful threatening investors. If this culture finds its way to international financial institutions and the global investment community, then Good Night Bahamas. The financial world is global and a boycott would be fatal for the country. Do we want another Haiti? Or Red China colony? Look at Hongkong.Hopefully the investor friendly government acts swiftly to educate some of these backward thinking Bahamians. 2022 will be decisive and we are sure the government knows much more than saying in public. Good luck Prime Minister and team!

Hmmm..... now wouldnt LUPAP citing density and use be ever so useful right about now? we a bunch of jokers. "I can do it but you cant" mentality all over everywhere

And if it’s 100% as per zoning regulations, density regulations and zero restrictive covenants? The rest is unfounded discussions by persons who have a loud voice but aren’t able to look into the details and facts. This low level of education is the tragedy of the country. Hopefully the New Day government will invest in education. Note that all this is read by the bailout financial institutions - not good if the law is disrespected even if by insufficient education.

hmmm this reminds me of BPC when you had a bunch of cheerleaders for the project who popped out of nowhere, but always refused to state their interest in the venture....and we all know that ended....
