I take it you have never been to Harbour Island, or North Eleuthera for that matter? You sound very Nassauvian, no offense.

Were any locals making any of the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ moneys that Richard Malcolm is talking about, you'd have a point. But you don't :walk: ...


Listen I have family from palmetto point and savannah sound and visit Lutra at least one a year....
So you dont even know what you are talking about first off...
second nothing is wrong with building a condo style development because briland is a vacation spot..

All of this crap sounds like exclusionist thinking....someone horned in on the little white expats territory and they are hopping mad...
and for what???
NOTHING!!!

Well you visit once a year i get to visit at least three times a week and knows what Mr MAlcom is talking about....this little piece of land is obviously over crowded in the name of tourism developement......one have to live on the island to appreciate his views...also there is a serious issue with crime,drug trafficking/abuse and homosexuality is rampant . persons living in New Providence are not aware of his concerns because the majority of times they come to the island they come to party and leave:dancer2: . before you kill the messenger you should try and find out what he is talking about instead of jumping:bouncy: to conclusion..............by the way Harbour Island is third in AIDS cases next to Nassau and Grand Bahama and crime. It's your business to stay on your Ivory tower and believe it or not. Its a fact.:dunce:

Well good for you....and whos problem is that?????
Listen you build it and they will come....get with it!
Secondly those people can move on...especcialy since they got paid for the property that was bought!
Thirdly do you in your right mind think that at least a few officials of briland were in on this developers plans...
Fourthly BLAME IT ON THE FNM AND THE IMOVABLE PROPERTIES ACT!
it is a direct kick in the tail....i bet the developers played it real sneaky and had seperate companies buy up one piece after the other and then they in turn sell it to the mother developer??
HA.....:rolleyes:

......one have to live on the island to appreciate his views...also there is a serious issue with crime,drug trafficking/abuse and homosexuality is rampant . persons living in New Providence are not aware of his concerns because the majority of times they come to the island they come to party and leave:dancer2: .
And who's bloody hell problem is that..."do you visit nassau"???
Crime...and all that stuff!!!..so what are you talking about!
If you didnt want a take over...YOU SHOULDNT HAVE SOLD THE LAND!
I dont feel sorry for any of them...really i dont!
If it matters...then MOVE ON!!:)

before you kill the messenger you should try and find out what he is talking about instead of jumping:bouncy: to conclusion..............
Say jump to conclusion....
I know this may be part and parcel to you not knowing any other form of dialouge than the rudimentary 10th grade grammer and composition!
But...i know his point..and i DO NOT share his views!
GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!
dont cry foul now becasue of YOUR dumbness and YOUR exclusionist thinking...

by the way Harbour Island is third in AIDS cases next to Nassau and Grand Bahama and crime. It's your business to stay on your Ivory tower and believe it or not. Its a fact.:dunce:

I dont really care "in paticular" quite frankly...
THE ENTIRE BAHAMAS HAS A PROBLEM. WITH AIDS!!
And i am glad you brought it up becasue little harbour island even in relation to the rest of lutra is small potatoes!
Ivory tower...listen I live in modest dwellings...the son of a govt employee...no ivory tower here buddy!

I thought Habour Island is owned by mostly white foreigners...Are their any natives still living there, or do they all migrate from Eleuthra during the early morning hours?

1,800 or so Brilanders still live on Harbour Island, along with the expats and tourists and illegals (Trinis, Jamaicans, Haitians), but it has gotten very crowded with all of the building.

As the song said, "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot."

What...I am no tyrant, just expletive!:D

it is obvious that you are a big dummy always want to assume something besides the facts.
Assume..you mean like how you assumed that I never went to briland...
like how you assumed that I didnt read his statement for the tenth time becasue it is allready on another site that i go too
like you assumed that I (of all people) have an Ivory tower??
You mean I make assumptions like that Mr Lawabidingbahamian???
:D
and want to to force your opinion on others....get real and get a life fool, you are a know it all
Not a know it all My Bahamian....:o
Just someone who is clear on "some facts" and do a lot of research before i open my mouth and make sweeping indictments Sir...maybe you should look into that!:bye:

it amaze me to see how silly your are by the comments you continue to me in your posts....you should try and read some of them and cry shame for your self......
Read,.....ok, now I am insulted!
Wise up lawabiding and lay off of the white lady...
Not every one feels shot to shame about Brilanders and there blunderous mistake...GET WITH IT!
like i said before...THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH DEVELOPMENT..AND LUTRA IS WAITING TO BE FURTHER DEVELOPED BY NATIVE ISLANDERS WHO CARE!

when it isn't your personal attacks you say somthing that makes no sense
come with your dumb response nah, you idiot

wait...let me get this straight....you insulted me first, and then say that i insult you...and then you insult me again, and i must sit back and take it??
I guess arguing online really isnt what its all cracked up to be...
I rest my case!:o

Yo. No one is complaining about further development on Eleuthera, and if you visited home as often as you say you do you would understand the difference in the tensions here. Briland doesn't need an third and fourth marina in its tiny harbour, but Eleuthera could use all of them.

All we are asking for is for Nassau to spread the wealth a bit so that peeps from Governor's Harbour don't have to drive sixty miles each way and take a water taxi both WAYS each day in order to take a job.

What part of "the island is too small" do you not understand? Briland is three miles long a a half mile wide. And to add insult to injury, not many Bahamians are economically benefitting from the condoization of Harbour Island in the first place.

Please take your arguments back to Miami ...

fool...duncy boy:taped: :dunce: its people like you who thinks this is communism or stone age and has a problem with the opinion of others .....an seek to belittle them because you don't agree with them ....i have read i number of your posts made and for every time you try to insult or take issue with what persons have to say.....maybe you need to take a chill pill and realize that you don't have the monopoly on intelligence:cheers: instead of being a stupid moron, go back to your cave an get alife. I am now placing your threads on ignore because you are a low life idiot:sparky:

Listen/.....i know that alot of it is all a bunch oh hooey....
get with it and move on!
Tell your people...in briland who made the money off of the land sales..TO MOVE ELSEWHERE!
you know what..it sounds like the haves in briland had a split...and now are pissed becasue all didnt make the big money off of the deal!
Briland is a tourist destination...beautiful place, why shouldnt someone who could build there who paid for the land, and got the building approved by the council???.....the argument from opposed comes mostly from the people like you said wont benefit from the procedings...and ones who want their "island life" in tact (which to me is admirable but out of touch with reality)...isnt that the way with all rural thinking people???:shaky:

I thought this was about a condo???:uh:
I have to move to another island to work.....from nassau no doubt, HAVE YOU HEARD ME COMPLAIN?:eek:

It isnt for you to benefit from the most...it is for the developers, and it is why they bought the land FROM YOU GUYS...(dont forget that)..they bought it and had it approved by your town council...:confused:
And now to the condo development.......MOVE ON!!!
Go further...cuz if you wanted it to be what it was, it wouldnt have been approved!
what part of THAT dont you understand???
Tell your people...in briland who made the money off of the land sales..TO MOVE ELSEWHERE...or is it you dont have the nerve to do it..and want a govt handout like some of you guys do!??:uh:

Please take your arguments back to Miami ...

Well....to add insult to your pain...I really couldnt care less, esppecially now sine you allready sold the property..approved the building...and persons involved got paid for their property!:eek:

Do you think i am that naive to not know that "someone" or "persons" in your own circle didnt make a proffit off of this whole deal??
Your own people in good ole briland sold you out....
Not us in Nassau...Not the developers...Not Government...and certainly not me!
:cheers:

(dont really know where your rudeness comes from, becasue i certainly have NOT insulted you...but if you want to get nasty get it with lawabing citizen cuz he is filled with insults)
