They do not have a green light. They can be stopped. When the giant project up north that had Korean owners was fully approved and people found out about, we took to the streets and it was stopped. South Beach must still be approved by the local planning board and if they hear loud and clear that the people of the island do not want this. They will vote against. But the voices opposed need to be clear and organized and numerous.
The Brahma project is horrible in my opinion and should not have permitted. When I first heard of it I thought hat no one was crazy enough to go forward. So I have learned my lesson and hope others have as well. When the same people started buying bird nesting cayes in the back, I realized that the greed moving here has no bounds and makes no sustainable sense. So we all need to step up to the plate and stop the developments that are totally destructive
