St. Maarten Private Eye

I think you are a little over the ingenous here. Clearly the writer is someone who invested in and liked to visit St. Maarten, though he doesn't mention for how long he was doing that.

Tell me, if you happened to have a favorite holiday location where you owned property, then over the years it became less attractive, over crowded and congested, crime ridden and less friendly, would you feel a personal loyalty to that place? Not having a vote, not having a voice or being from there, what are you going to do about it? I tell you what you would do, you would sell up and find another place thats more like the place you want to visit and vacation in.

You say Frank bailed out on us, shows no good will, yet you miss the message that he is giving and that many other of the long term visitors are giving. St. Maarten is no longer the St. Maarten it used to be and as a result is now attracting a different sort of visitor.

No, it's up to St. Maartener's to step up to the plate and wrestle control and policy back from those who follwo only the path of excessive and out of control growth. SXM PE is looking for candidates to support next year. Anyone out there?

PS. To the person who wrote the comment I have just deleted. If you are looking for the people who are here to rape the island they can be found in Cupecoy, Cay Bay, Dawn Beach, Red Pond and Little Bay to name a few of the places. The writer of the comment does not appear to be one of the rapists you mention in the comment you made and like the post I have replied to, you miss the whole message given.

I would like to mention to all posters on here, quit with the immediate attacks and defensive attitudes, start reading what is said and think about it just a little. Always with the attacks, attacking the messenger instead of reading the message. Instead, why don't you think about why Franke sold up his investments here, you might learn something.
