Elbert,
I was encouraging the highjack. You are an accomplice by re hashing old posts.
GBE can do its own marketing--no?

"when was the last time you visited San Pedrito?
Or San Juan?'
I have been and lately, this is a good point, they are developing and changing rapidly.
It isn't a very fair comparison although. They get city services like water and septic, do they not?
Part of the problem I have with Grand Belize Estates is the added volume/demand for water, electricity, garbage disposal, police protection and septic when we can't provide for what we have already created.
but what now that we've added a few thousand more lots?

Rather than inside it as at present.

I am afraid that if the 1000 plus lots are sold and construction begins that BWS would be happy to put in a sea R O system and sell them water for 5 cents a gallon--the septic situation is another issue altogether and should have already been addressed which is seems that it has not. The drama continuessssss....

Mr. Jones,
These areas like San Mateo have a strange habit of being upgraded in the months prior to election time. Mysterious as it may sound. Maybe the politcians don't want to look at the despair or step in it while campaigning?

The sins of irresponsible development seem to me to be split equally between the two political parties. I'm disheartened at both parties for their foolish land development endeavors.
I frankly would like to see a new national party this next election.

I totally understand the low lying area and the water. But cleanliness is free. There is so much crap thrown on the ground on this island that septic isn't going to make a difference. Let's say we find a solution to over developing and sewerage, it's not going to change the mindset of the vast majority of people who have a disregard for their own property much less the property of others. What's the bigger issue in the picture above, the low land, the rising water, or the dozens of glass bottles, plastic bottles, wash machines, refrigerators, and everything else littering this picture, this area, and this island. Preaching on this forum isn't going to change that...the majority of people trashing this island aren't reading this forum anyway.

The people that created this subdivision and the people that voted them in office do!

I thought Juan Grande was just a realtor? Are real estate agents normally involved with that stuff? I've got a lot of family in the States that are real estate agents and from my limited knowledge on the subject don't they just sell the property? Isn't that other stuff the responsibility of the developer?

The Road East to West is coming up in court again later this month.
I noticed they now are advertising they are accessible by road.
I walked back to check on it Saturday.
Two days ago you would still have to swim to get there from the East side of the island. The road project is stopped, The dredge and heavy machinery has been removed.
What is there is a dredged out canal and a Levey of mud, with one huge culvert.
Its still not to late to save the lagoons. If the project stays as it is the rains will wash away most of the destructive dam like levy that's been constructed and the lagoon will survive.
