ykawhatshizname has a lot of nerve with many of his assumptions. read the flipping article, willya? expats are buying and flipping land on briland, causing the prices to go sky high. if the salaries were keeping up with the profits that these people were making, would be one thing, but salaries are back in the 1960s era range. (who told these people that they were investing in belize??? cost of living is higher in briland than in nassau.)
i am not on the outside looking in, the way you make everyone complaining about the overkill to be beggars and wannabees. my family sits on several acres on briland, and yes we have been approached with insane checkbooks and no we are staying on eleuthera and keeping the briland property and watching the insanity from afar.
get a life, mister y2K, or at least get a grip on the facts and the tensions and the issues before you come out swinging.
white lady? where? you assume ...
back to bluff, over and out ...

WHO CARES?:uh:

and you blame nassau for that??
(who told these people that they were investing in belize??? cost of living is higher in briland than in nassau.)
That is YOUR problem...you and your people get a handle on that..
Bottom line!...and the last time i read that article that you and the other guy want me to read over and over...at least more than HALF of who matters were satisfied with the outcome...you bought it now pay for it!
i am not on the outside looking in, the way you make everyone complaining about the overkill to be beggars and wannabees.
Exactly not...what i said was it was just as much disgruntled expats who didnt proffit as they would have liked off of an OBVIOUS set up!
my family sits on several acres on briland, and yes we have been approached with insane checkbooks and no we are staying on eleuthera and keeping the briland property and watching the insanity from afar.
Good for you and your family....and maybe you should have been the one with the vote that made this deal NOT possible...becasue apparently more than half thought the "DEAL" was ok..and left to me a CONDO will not hurt your precious little segregated briland!...
get a life, mister y2K, or at least get a grip on the facts and the tensions and the issues before you come out swinging.
I know what you are talking about...and once again GET OVER IT!!!
You people are pissed becasue you didnt make money off of it...and...your precious little quaint town that you were oh so proud of is going to a higher developer!
Know the facts...HA..I know all i need to know about bahamians and their precious little expats "who tails they kissed btw:uh: "...and what they have and will do to this country!
I DO NOT FEEL SORRY!!...REALLY I DONT!:uh:
white lady? where? you assume ...
Listen...if you are going to respond to me...respond to what I tell you in paticular..not what i have told someone else...or is it that you two maybe one in the same..and if so,that is freaky!
Rather...it is obvious that the way you two post pone behind the other you either are the same or at the same CPU at least!
hahahahahahhaa:shaky:
back to bluff, over and out ...
Whatever that means.....
Ok to put this in some perspective, first this doesnt seem to have any similarity to the Guana Cay issues .. am i correct?
What they are saying as far as I can tell is, as we know, Harbour Island is a tiny little island and is packed jam with homes and hotels, (and golf carts!) etc etc, and there is a ton of land right next door on Eluethera that is waiting to be developed?
Am i correct in this assumption?

Yes, Harbour Island itself if the latest in a strong of authentic, unique island communities, much like Guana Cay and Great Exuma, that are being commodotified, standardized, gentrified and compromised by corporations that see a chance to make a killing, as is the case with the owners of the development companies currently in play. And kill it they will.
That being said, Eleuthera welcomes such development, given that it is an island of 110 miles in length, vs. Briland's three ...
