Please tell me about what I said that is contradictory, specifically. I'ld be happy to address it, or clarify...

If you were to be accurate in your criticism, assuming it justified, you would first be critical of Belizeans and not your neighbors. Is it not Belizeans that sold off their property to foreigners? Is it not Belizeans who have every right to decide to promote tourism, give the permits to build condos, resorts, foreign businesses and your house along with the dredging and manufacturing of more land.
I don't fully agree with the their approach, but I understand it is their right and choice. And I certainly do not feel I have any right to be critical of those who invest and participate in what Belize has decided it wants.
The direction the country goes is the decision for Belizeans and the money others choose to invest is theirs and I don't see where you have any part in their decisions. What you do have is the choice to move on, sell your house to another foreigner who will come and try to right everything he perceives to be wrong once he has lived their for a few months and knows what is best.
Now try to understand, I doubt neither most Belizeans or most of your neighbors will morn your departure. Both should be able to survive without the perceived value of your money spent or your advice on how resorts should be built.
