Fisherman's Village update - Las Terrenas

Could small restaurants like those even afford $2000/mo rent?

You say the eviction was illegal, but the family legally living there?

As with most legal issues in the DR , this is not black and white.
The only fact I know is that the family has occupied that property for over 50 years. In that period of time the family remained a poor family of fisherman. However , over that 50 years the area has started seeing much prosperity . The immediate surroundings on Playa Las Ballenas are going through extreme gentrification making the land these poor folks have very desirable.
Money has met poverty and money won. The family is evicted from the property. Their structures leveled and burned .
I doubt anyone really knows who holds true title to this property that is the source of the civil unrest in LT currently.

Rumble2025, was their house within the 60 meter public space by the ocean?

 

[Rumble2005]

I would say yes. Literally a 30 second walk across a narrow beach road.

maybe that's why they are all still empty, amigo

I am expecting to see the exact same outcome in another well-known beach town on the north coast currently under construction along the beach top hills once the project is complete. Rents will price the locals out of the market.
