Harriet, gubbie was there for their third visit in Sept. Probably not there now to attend any meetings. She is certain she can see everything with a couple of visits and understands how self serving Elbert is. Personally, I don't know why anyone would want to live in the reclaimed swamps on the west side of the island. I can remember one of my first visits to AC and going across the pull ferry and fishing where Reef Village now is. The land was better suited for bonefish than for condos. I also don't understand how you can think good development is gotten by drawing nice straight boxes on land. When I was teaching Urban Planning and residential design at both Michigan State and the University of Lagos, the students were required to consider such mundane things like carrying capacity of the land, the topographical feature that are environmentally sensitive, providing adequate services and infrastructure for everyone to have access to sanitation, water, roads, electricity, etc. One of the first design problems given our students in Lagos was design a small community in a swampy area. Most of the students acknowledged that the really wetlands were not good for any sort of development. Residential areas and other development projects were located on higher ground the road system to reach these developments was what was called organic in that the roads wound through the property, they didn't cut a path in straight lines. To gubbie, I suggest you read a book or two or urban design before thinking that GBE is a good project. Elbert isn't always right but he does know his area a little better than you. Over fifteen years living in a place gives you a sense of the place, visiting for a month or two gives you a desire to live there not any real knowledge of the place. Responsible development is more than drawing lines on a peice of paper and selling lots.
