AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums Talk Belize Chat Area Roads up North

Wow,I had no idea how deep this issue of roads up north runs.I did not think that access to a property I own is that great a that great or outlandish.I undertand not wanting the status quo to change,when you think you have found paradise,but the thing changes as time goes on,we have to accept that.I am sure that future changes may not be to my liking but,but I hope I will be man or woman enough to accept the fact that stuff happens.I believe that access to ones property is a given,and I dont mean by water taxi.Try waiting for a water taxi if you need emergency access to medical or police help by water taxi,it aint goig to happen.I reiterate that access should be the responsibility of the seller.What are we so afraid of,is it that the native populatiuon is unworthy of access to the rest of the island,from all of the glowing reports,everybody on this island is friendly and not to be compared to any othe place.why build a bridge to nowhere.This island beg for a suitable road system,that is where its future lies,quit being a cog in the works.Make it happen right,taking into consideration how it will affect everyone and creating an effective plan to benefit all views.

Access is definitely NOT the responsibility of the seller! You bought the property as-is.

heer hear

take a good look at the Mayan Calendar's,then plan your structered futuristic plans,alittle late and no clue you have.

and about all that land-fill???and whats up with the fenced in compound after the ferry?looks kind of creepy.

100% correct Jesse... The old saying is "Buyer Beware"

Thanks all for some serious discussion on this matter. Sorry I had to do what I did to get things started. I will bow out for a few days, so everyone else can discuss this.
Again, Thanks

You didn't notice this when you bought the property?

One of the first things we tell people that are considering buying real estate is Belize is "Do NOT assume anything!" Things here are not the same as wherever you call "home." You are not guaranteed road access, electricity, city water, cable tv or phone service. Nor are you guaranteed that the fire department or ambulances will be able to reach you during an emergency. There are some major risks involved in choosing to live in this part of the world - and I haven't even mentioned them yet!

Perhaps it's not so much buyer beware as buyer BE aware.

I can tell you if I wanted easy road access, utilities, drive in theatres and mall shopping I would move to Miami.

The biggest risk I am going to take is meeting a bunch of folks I don't know in February in order to drink copious amount of alcohol whilst solving the problems of the island.

Just wait till reaper slaps a chute on ya and shoves ya into his plane...
