What part of the US didnt want to fund the hospital is not getting through to you. We didn't choose China - there was no choice. And, I believe Dr. Darville regarding the timing of the UK offer.
***they voiced concerns over a likely significant increase in traffic and parking congestion despite the developer’s plans including an on-site parking garage.***
The above is the crux of the matter. These homeowners could not care less about the project. They are just concerned about their precious increase in traffic. Get over it - you are living in Nassau, a dense area. If you want space, move to Acklins.
There is nothing about this project that should cause it to halt.
1) We can walk and chew gum. Focusing on Bay Street does not preclude us from focusing on gas prices or lower electricity bills, et al.
2) How silly of the politician - any politician from any party - to want to revitalize an area that is primarily responsible for 80% of our GDP. Oh the gall. What an idiot the politician is.
You were perfect - right up until you repeated the tired and specious trope that foreigners "get more favourable breaks". This is not - and has never been - true. There is no concession that a foreigner ca access that a Bahamian cannot. But your overall point is spot on.
Exposed is partially correct. Yes, this move confers a huge pay day to the creditors - but they would have gotten that anyway. Their expense is a fixed cost. What this ruling actually does is stop two entities from fighting over who should receive their money first (and, how much should they receive). That would have been a bitter court fight, which would have come from the coffers of the fund. By agreeing to this "contract" both entities get paid - as they should as this is their vocation - and defrauded customers have more money in the fund from which to be reimbursed. All things considered - not a bad outcome.

How about you come with some real analysis - the same that IslandWarrior gave you - instead of throwing petulant, immature insults?
