It is bad enough that Government takes our money by way of taxes. But to then use our taxpayer money to fund a commercial investment in order to compete against us (taxpayers) is greedy and wrong. No Government should be engaged in commercial ventures. It does not matter whether it is building condominiums that no one wants (ok, one person wanted one of the 90 condominiums) or competing with couriers for package importation business.

If Lt. Col. Burch or King David want to risk their own money on commercial ventures, fine. But I object to them using my money to compete against me.

No body should kick a man when he is down , we help him up.

Was that project is deemed with all vigor to a failure today, we must go back back to 11 or 12 years ago where their were trying to find a way to solve the housing problem at least to give many people work in the construction industry .
Were they mis guided or get the wrong advice back then or was it tainted by experts?

I am sure that i am not the only one who would like to” turn water into wine” here on the project or
” apples into apple pie” .

I personaly think the property best for visitor accomadation for many reasons and we could still sell the property as is, on .
Also the property offers more jobs for our people as we also need foreign income.

We will still need BHC for my next land lord / people project .

Bermuda is a holiday island and alway will be we are two hours away to sun and sand.

if BERMUDA constantly cry failure all the time, no body will give BERMUDA the time of day .

I will ask you what would you think could or would be for the best solution for the property moving forward .

You got three days Mr. Bloogs

Lt. Col. Burch said “by December of this year, this new proposed direction will see 94 studio, 1-, 2- & 3-bedroom residential units of beachfront property added to fulfil a market demand for additional rental housing.”

The investment we have made in the White Elephant/Grand Atlantic/Bermudiana Beach is over $100 MILLION and our Government made a conscious decision not to continue its arrangement with Hilton Hotels, a business that definitely DOES understand the market in which it operates.

Why our Government wants to continue pouring more money into the White Elephant/Grand Atlantic/Bermudiana Beach is a mystery to me, but it does keep the PLP Government in the news (at horrendous costs to us taxpayers).

” Putty and paint solves many a complaint ” So does reinforced concrete .

We can find fault with every building in Bermuda when many of building are built on sand stone foundations that was
unduely critiqued , as was concrete block 60 years ago, now every body is using it.

This sort of disapproval happens alot in Bermuda when people purpously look to find fault with virtually every thing.

there are always solutions to every problem real or un real .

Many will remember the Butterfly roof house with it reverse angle roof being two opiosing shed roof in unusual construction which still stands today , as the roof in not going to blow off in a hurricane any time soon .

Finding fault does not solve the problems as solution offered by structural engineers works every time.
how can people with an untrained eye complain when the building is not finished.

Time for workable solutions stage two .

We can no longer see out tax money fail.
just put our bains in gear as winter is never the best time to marker realestate.

SUCESSFULL MARKETING is the only way to go by finding is appeal and posative suitability as a residence for local or a tourist attraction as an extended vacation home.

If Beyonce took up residence people would kick the door down to get in .

it is not what you do in life that matters it is how you do it .

When you include interest in the borrowed money used for this failure of a project, it’s well over $200m.

The PLP certainly supports families (and friends), so long as its their own families that stand to benefit whilst everyone else suffers.

Also, does the PLP have mass amnesia that they have been running the country for the vast majority of the last 30 years? They’re trying taking credit for attempting to (not succeeding) solve issues they themselves have been the root cause of.

Do better Bermuda…
