Trouble at Perla Marina
There is a wall to be built from the southwest corner of La Cienaga road as it hits La Cienaga which goes 1.5 Km northwest along the south edge of the golf course at a cost of $250.000 USD for the wall . I am guessing that is the extent of Leo's property, so not quite to the food park.
Leo does not as far as I know own the property to the north of Route 5 in the El Rocon area. I do understand there will an another dervelopment in that area across from the entrance of Costa Azul complete with a supermarket. Concrete work has commenced for Travieso just east of the entrance of Costa Azul and bordering Mareal Condos.
Thanks got itBombita is about 2.5 Km northwest of La Cienaga just south of The Perla Marina/Crazy Ranch area.

Eviction in La Ecológica leaves families living on the street
<p>Santo Domingo, DR With their feet on top of the wooden rubble and under the sun yesterday morning, hundreds of people n the vicinity of Ecological Avenue near Ciudad Juan Bosch were left out in the open after being evicted from their homes. Martina García and her husband Manuel Antonio...

I'm 99% sure the second time I contracted Dengue back in 2013 while living in Sosua was from visiting someone I knew, who at the time was living in La Cienaga. Haven't been back since but I can tell you, that's gonna be a lot of people for the gob to move/ relocate.
It's not hundreds, but thousands. Lots and lots of illegal lots. A tought job to sort out because of what was allowed for years to illegally expand at the benefit of the former mayor.
Right here in the Sosua area, on the western side of Charamicos, lies El Tablon. El Tablon lies along the mouth of the Sosua river and flooded regularly. Villa Liberation behind El Union was built to house those evicted from El Tablon.
Was it built before they were evicted or did the people just have to fend for themselves until it was completed - which was probably a couple years?
It was built before the evictions. The government got tired of constantly helping them after each flood.
I think that's the only way the government could possibly evict thousands of people.
Leo pruchased land in Bombita. In cooperation with the government, housing is to be built for those that will be displaced from La Cienaga.
That is the plan. Will it actually happen? Who knows.
Well, in just our area, we have seen large groups evicted in the past, without housing provided. In El Rocon, Cabarete, in Marbella, Sosua,across from Puerto Chiquito, and the large barrio across from the garbage dump west of Puerto Plata. This all happened in the last 20 years, so there is precedent.
I was home when the region from Seawinds to El Rocon was cleared out. We left because of the smell of tear gas used to move the reluctant out and spent a day west of Cabarete until it cleared. All traces of those houses were removed within a week.
At the rate anything is built here, to do site prep, put in roads, water, electric, stores, school, and 500-600 housing units, it will take at least 10 years from the day they decide to it.
I think you're comparing apples to oranges. Not sure about the barrio in Pto. Plata, but these other evictions were very small, less than a hundred(usually in the dozens) not in the thousands, and weren't actual communities like La Cienaga that includes a school, many businesses, and a couple hotels.
IIRC it was 2002. I drove through there as they were knocking everything down.
That was a really long section of land.
I used to stop and buy almonds from a girl with a very small stand on the side of the road and they even knocked that down.
Time flies and I am terrible with dates. I did report it here on DR1, but thousands of my posts did get accidentally deleted, so that post probably went bye-bye.
At least 10 years ago would be my guess. They brought in machinery that took down two story block houses in moments. The tin roof shacks in La Cienaga would be gone in an instant if the government desired it. I see JD recalled it was 13 years ago. Sounds about right. It was a clean sweep.
