With 50 years of experience to draw from, anyone stupid enough to expect anything different from the PLP and FNM needs to skip having their heads examined and just take a swan dive off the highest point of Paradise Island west bridge!
On the one hand, from the residents' perspective, they are legally right. However, on the other hand, the fact that the attractions are overwhelmingly popular with tourists, and Nassau's tourism product could unquestionably use any and all new attractions possible, and*" Adelaide residents had voted against a zip-line proposal for the area in 2017 as well as other projects"* the most blatant observation points to "Adelaide" having outgrown its original zoning in the best interest of the country.
This is a common phenomenon and conflict that happens in all growing countries. Everyone is familiar with stories of US residential properties being forcibly taken over for highways, trains tracks, etc that the government determined it had better use for.
The two simple questions that need answering are "What is best for the Bahamas"? and "Is Adelaide now being used to its best potential?"
Adelaide could very, very, easily be a golden egg for residents, property owners, and the country.
In the 80's Jamaica banned most food imports forcing themselves to produce more food. Today Jamaica is exporting food. Around the same time, the Dominican Republic set plans in place to encourage and integrate local production of anything into the tourism industry. Today The Dominican Republic is the #1 destination in the region.
What were successive Bahamian governments doing while our competitors prepared for challenging times? Obviously, they learned nothing from the Jamaican and Dominican Republic!
I have 0% FAITH the PLP and FNM are remotely capable of changing their modus operandi after 50 years of absolute asinine political stupidity that lead our country and people from the most envious position in the region to the crime-ridden, high unemployment position we now find ourselves.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The IDB is well aware as long as the sunshine boys comprising PLP and FNM pirates control and profit from fossil fuels, the Bahamas will never progress into alternative energy sources.
*"It requires nothing short of a total transformation of the energy system*.” “However, *the current market governance and regulatory framework* pose barriers to such developments in renewable energy and private sector participation.”
I have said it many times...**"The greatest impediments to moving our country forward is the PLP and FNM!"**
Meanwhile, Haitians are running amuck and building new shanty towns and unregulated buildings all over the place and Mr. Pinder refuses to acknowledge it!
If the phucking crooked politicians looked after their constituents like they looked after friends, family and lovers, the Bahamas wouldn't have any problems!!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Prime Minister Davis must live in a very small bubble. He didn't need to go all the way to Freeport to see people suffering because he could have seen any number of homeless Bahamians living in abandoned buildings and in their cars right here in Nassau!
This trip was nothing more than a good photo op for Brave. People that have been in this type of situation for prolonged periods will get absolutely no benefit from two or three months of counseling. And so-called rehabilitation will not help their mindset or get them into mainstream life again! In many instances, these people have been totally demoralized for years.
If PM Davis were "truly interested" in alleviating social ills that affect Bahamians he would have to show much better convincing efforts to prove it.
Firstly, the PM needs to face the fact that the vast majority of our homeless and unemployed are in the undereducated, blue-collar job catagory. These are the Bahamians that should always have priority for domestic-type jobs. They are also the same grouping that falls victim to criminal activity as the only alternative as a means for survival when faced with hard times.
Secondly, successive governments have made the blunder of using immigration fees for foreign domestic workers as means of cash flow for the Treasury, resulting in giving the domestic job industry to foreign workers and the unemploying of Bahamians.
I am not aware of any other country in the world that allows foreigners to overwhelm a whole segment of their economy to the detriment of its own citizens. In fact, countries seriously protect low-skilled jobs opportunities for their own people. No Bahamian will EVER get a job in the Filipinas as a domestic worker, blue-collar worker, or in any other job capacity that a Filipeanos remotely qualifies for!
Thirdly, the illegal immigrant situation has been out of control for decades....with the blessing of successive governments that have done nothing to stop the invasion.
A simple seriously inforced initiative of fining anyone $10,000 and revoking work permits, residencies, and citizenships, if caught **hiring or helping** illegals, would put an immediate huge dent in our illegal migrant problem, and create any number of blue-collar jobs literally overnight! This is what the people need to regain their dignity, self-worth, mental rehabilitation, and a means to escape the need for criminal activity.
No more blah, blah, blah. If Prime Minister Davis doesn't want to be seen as just more political lip service and photo ops as all those before him, he will have to actually **reverse the immigration blunders** of former leaders, implement common sense deterrents for illegals, and put our people back to work!

The only surprise is how the hell could such a small handful of pirates get away with manipulating the entire population for so long.
