The FNM should shut it, we all know how terrible they treated victims of Irma and Dorian. Ragged Island waited almost 5 years and Abaco & GB are still suffering through the mismanagement. These properties should of from the beginning been developed into apartment or other multi family homes. This would be faster, more economical, and more efficient.

Instead the government is going to unwisely slug out the slow process of single accommodation lot by lot.

It is ridiculous that the government cant provide Maritime student access to schooling.

Lol, having the government manage a development/disaster fund is like leaving fish out in front of a cat and telling them don't eat it.

Instead of developing 300 housing plots you could develop 2-3 storey attached or semi-detached apartments and town houses. Not only do you save space, you spend less money(for road, water, etc.), and end up building a more substantial structures to last hurricanes.

But no this government doesn't like different ideas.

Against men lmao. Just have a clause of false rape claim punishments. why would a faithful or loving woman claim that her husband raped her if he didn't. you realize there would have to be evidence. Its not like a unmarried man she is legally attached to this individual and can be punished severely for lying about rape.

Yet you think it endangers men. How

I think if necessary the project can scale down but no way is this single family home project dense. I live in a townhouse complex with 32 accommodations. That's 32 people minimum in a place that take 2-3 acres at best more like 1 acre with a good estimate.

What happened to attached or semi-detached houses, they are what is needed in development of this island for the future. Moreover, I always laugh when development companies see Lyford Cay or Sandy Port as great inspirations of environmental protection. Despite them literally destroying entire wetland ecosystems. Then they get mad when we learn better and improve environmental protections/regulations.

Lastly, before they develop this site, if it is approved they should sweep it for archeology. Often when sites get developed if carefully done archeology can be discovered and protected.

Although despite my one reservations and my support of the issues brought up i believe that Mr. Myers has somewhat of the right sentiment. I wouldn't be to harsh on him considering the government has destroyed more pineland in north west Carmichael in their short tenure in office then this ever will.

Lol, What did the symonette group expect. For them to get all this land because they can give people jobs. This is no Baha Mar, the amount of environmental destruction, lack of long term benefits, the job to land use ratio, and the lack of any meaningful development from this proposal is why it deserved to fail.

I mean yes politics drive money in this country as it does others but they really think this got rejected because they is FNM. If they proposed to cut down the forest for wood again they might get a better chance than this garbage. At least, then they would have to replant the trees.

Furthermore, most mining operations in developed countries pay benefits on the other hand mining operations in developing countries cause mass corruption especially when the country is economically dependent on the resources.

Lastly, for them to even have a hope of the project being WIDELY supported they need to release the environmental impact to the wider public via the internet. Until people can assess for themselves what is gonna happen they can't support the so called facts.

This is the Housing ministries responsibility or Abaco local government. All these extra taskforces just signal that government national and local had no body to ensure these thing were done right in the first place.

What is the point of the ministry???
