People are investing in a corner of Sosua. Fine. That doesn't mean they actually know what the future of Sosua will be or that they are investing in the right part of town for that matter. Could be people who are riding on the hopes that PC is being torn down by the numerous capricious new laws, turnover costs and high rents. Historically, the number of people who have invested in Sosua has been somewhat higher than those who have made money.
Vamos a ver, as they say here. (We'll see)
However, La Sirena said they were building a big store here because they think this is a growth area. I think most would agree that the powers to be at La Sirena are not inclined to throw money away.
Then we had very positive piece about Sosua/Cabarete by a writer of a property investment newsletter who has a huge following. I am sure Derfish will confirm that she has a lot of influence.
I have no idea if what I am about to say is true, but with the investment being made on Duarte it looks like the future center of Sosua may be near the corner of Duarte, with little reason for anyone to go to the area where the big bars are unless that is where they want to go.
It looks to me as though the small bar on the corner across from little Playero has a good location. A lot of money is being spent on the renovation of that bar, when done it will look very different from the old place.
I was planning on going out and about this afternoon for exercise. I'll walk over there and take some photos if the sun isn't too bright.
