St. Maarten Private Eye

this is typical , everyone open their big mouht ONLY after " fait accompli'"
the various "Cassandras" that spoke previously were either silenced or discarded as mere nuisance.

the Westin is an orrible construction ( but is not the only one unfortunately, look at Rainbow and the coming soon Aquarious)) we all agree to it, the valley is gone the beauty is gone,it is the Triumph of Money over Beauty!

SXM politicians travel the world, is behond my conprehension why they would accept cheap and bad designed constructions in their own Island their home and the generations to come.

Why not respect the landscape and the environment by setting a STRICT code of construction, why pulling down their pants as soon as they see the dollar sign? where is their pride. Today you can travel the world with your finger tips.
SXM politicians ,please, go the the web sites of beautiful resorts around the world and look how they are built. Respect of the surrounding landscape is the top priority. The constructions of hotels are merely disturbing it, combining beauty and business is a powerful tool to make tons of maney and make everybody happy, Island residents , business people, politician.
When it is going to happen? This Island is too small to keep experimenting with ugly buildings upon ugly buildings. it will take 2 or 3 more generations of ST. Martiners to undo what is done today. what a shame!
When are we going to land in the third millenium?
Where are the brains?
