Has this has become yet another thread in which emotions and realities are failing to correlate?
"Developers" should not be held responsible for schools, or hospitals or even sewer and water treatment plants. These are the responsibility of the municipality, in this case San Pedro Township, in which the development is located: the ongoing problem in Belize is that instead of collecting property tax to fund these items on an ongoing basis, a one time developers fee goes into the pocket of whichever crook is currently in a position to benefit from the "fee".
Monthly dues paid at Reef Village cover not only insurance and communal area maintenance, but also the services that Reef provides that would normally be expected to be the responsibility of the town?
The proposed South Beach project is so far removed from other development that it is an ideal project to use to introduce a property tax levy, and offer ongoing revenues for sewer and water treatment services on this part of the island?
The density, location and design concept of South Beach are all legitimate items for discussion, but when someone tries to blame any developer for the lack of schools or hospitals, then don't the otherwise legitimate concerns become all lumped together under the "hysterical/irrational" banner?
