St. Maarten Private Eye

I won't touch the environmentalist attack except to say that you got it wrong.
No one is against development. The ones that speak out do so against uncontrolled, unregulated and destructive development.

The French side economy is right now controlled more by the strength of the euro than anything else. Anyone that has been around long enough to know WTF they are talking about, knows that the Frenchside and Dutchside have up until now developed in alternating cycles. Five yeras ago the French side was booming and the Dutch side as dead. Now it is the reverse. Come on back in a couple of years and I'm sure that things will have changed again.

While you are making your sales pitch to your potential victim please be sure to mention that after SXM receives it's new status their up until now tax free holiday will be lost. It will be interesting to see what happens to sales when foreign buyers are required to contribute to the economy. That is if you tell them.

Your attack on the St. Maarten people will I'm sure bring you the attacks that you seek but not from me. Comments like that only show the arrogance developers have towards the society that has let them live and work here and I use the term work loosely.
