Most likely, but too be honest anyone who thinks smuggling don't go on with Bimini is a fool. Unfortunately, the fools probably missed many other shipments that pass though that tiny island.

While, I am glad that sebas & associates took the effort to include mixed use development in this proposition, I still believe that this project is following the social failure of prior developments.

There is an ever encroaching development on our remaining forest and it seems that developers refuse to scale up density in their projects. We are green lighting every gated community after gated community who take up the land for luxury single family homes. Ready for every rich foreigner or the occasional wealthy Bahamian to hoard.

Then the average Bahamian will forced to become like sardines in a can or not be able to get a can from housing prices shooting up, so they end up living with their parent until 35. Not to mention that cutting all the forest down will destroy our air quality and increase temperature on inland.

Unless these projects scale up and start talking about affordable housing, I cannot see it with too much positivity. When they do scale up I hope that there won't be suggestions for 10 story towers in the middle of nowhere, as 4-6 storeys can do the same job if consistently placed.

Furthermore, whenever new developments are placed, the government doesn't seem to ensure that said developments have enough services in the area. Enough Transportation, Food service, healthcare, schooling. Like is a 2-lane road enough for the added demand. Which begs the question what do they even oversight?
They need to step up to their commission and hold standards in development.

All I can say to the naysayers is that even the article points out to the failures of past development. Unfortunately, for the proposed hotel they don't have beach access because a certain community of old forts blocked of the beach. Not just any beach but one of the best beaches on the island. Don't worry tho, if you have a boat and water/canal front property you can get there. Oh wait.

Must commend the Starbucks franchisees for their work. Good Job

Yes, ideas of the Past. To bad they can't run something they think of without it being bankrupt or scraping the barrel.

I'm sorry but this sounds just like the common trope of children in the orphanage getting neglected and because the inspector is coming every thing is fixed up.

We are a democracy you don't just get to say when and when you can't have a protest because you might look bad. I can understand the push for security measures for delegates but it doesn't justify canceling or preventing protest unless it threaten those terms.

Democracy comes before Optics. If you believe in vice versa North Korea and China would gladly welcome you.

They need to put names or unique symbol/seals on immigration documents, if you give out a false document you can tracked and confirmed as a perp.

Good Conclusion.

It would be helpful if they had a proper database of workers and business with business licenses to cross-reference and check if they pay NIB.
