And here on SXM it has happened, happens and will happen over and over again. Never enough ugly buildings; finished or unfinished.
So, you have this choice: you either take Westin to court or move. Well, let's say you go for option #1: that will probably cost you alot of time, energy and of course money and après tout Dawn beach has already irreversibly been destroyed and the eyesore won't disappear, even if you win the case, which is highly unlikely. And also, it would not precisely get your name in the goodbehaviour books...ever heard of 'theo and the thwarting game'? Capital amusement. My compliments.
Suppose you choose Option #2: other islands may be what SXM used to be, but you'll have to build up a whole new life and get yourself a new job as well.
Your position is hardly an enviable one, Angelina.
I, for one, would not go for option number one, but who knows maybe you'll win! Let me know and I'll take you out for dinner!
