St Maarten is not unique. It can and should be a great island despite development. A clear plan for the islands future needs to be developed. Quite a number of the islands below have in their history an individual who stood firm and set ground rules and policy to govern and control development. Establish green zones etc etc.
It takes a local hero to do this , not a politician craving re election
Java, singapore, Hong Kong, Cayman, Bemuda, Guernsey, jersey, Ireland, Bahrain,
These are the relativley small isands ( except Java / Ireland ) which function well despite dense populations.
