I'm sure it slipped Mr. L's mind........

He's been going on an on lately in his Ambergris Daily, having just read The Sociopath Next Door, about one of his enemies. He doesn't realize he's now the Sociopath next door. One of the Narcissistic features of the Sociopath is lack of empathy! A good example of a lack of empathy is building a monolith in a community of villas. He could have considered building a couple of more villas to blend into the local architecture. But, no.....

Hmmmm... I really liked Caribbean villas the way they were but the new beach bar we saw was great fun too. We stayed at CV once (pre beach bar) and it was okay but we usually stay at Xanadu. At least there's still one buffer property between Xanadu and the party at CV...

The Beach Bar has been there for a few years.

Gwen A, if you wanted Caribbean Villas to stay the same you should have bought it.

Is this place owned by one person or a group?

Chris, you are one of the ones in cahoots! I don't care if it stays the same. Nobody cares about zoning to keep neighborhoods appropriate, or building hardware stores with tenements on the roof, so why not build a monolith in a bird sanctuary? The mentality of if you want something to be a certain way; buy it (meaning control it) is also sociopathic.

Gwen A, I can understand you are not pleased with the owners' choice to develop their property the way they wish to as it will have a material impact on your neighborhood; it is a commercial development and has been for a very long time and it will continue to be in the foreseeable future; however, personal property is just that, personal property, and the owners' have a due right to develop it according to their wishes in accordance with the Town Board's approval. Throwing the term "sociopath" back and forth seems like an exercise in futility... it has kind of lost its clinical meaning in this regard LOL. It appears to me, from what limited info I have albeit, that the owners are well-planned and funded and qualified to improve and expand their operation on the land. I wish all tourism based businesses in San Pedro the very best in this economic climate.

I wasn't the one that started using that term. It was used in the Ambergris Daily, by the owner of CV, in two published articles this past week. As far as development, there is nothing wrong with it. It's whether it is appropriate, or not. There are many factors that determine appropriateness. There are commercial properties that are ugly sore thumbs, and there are commercial properties that harmonize with Nature, the community, and sensibilities. We all know it's a crap shoot on Ambergris Caye, which you get.

I read the AD ... You're being contradictory in your statements. What is appropriate is what is allowed by the Town Board and the town at large. Anything else is a matter of opinion... You don't like what they're doing. Noted. Chris is correct in stating that if you wish to develop your way, you buy some land and property and do it your way.
