I've always gotten the impression they are subleasing from someone else who is also subleasing from yet another who may or may not actually paying rent to an owner.
I agree after seeing what they did at PG, the same needs to be done for Sosua Beach. Its the 80 / 20 rule, 20% of the bar owners which includes the same for the tourist related shops along the eastern entry road are doing 80% of the sales
I will clear this up for you. The Dominican owners will swear up and down that they legally own the building and the land underneath of it. A little bit of research and even a slightly intelligent attorney will normally expose this myth. Most of the foreigners ”investing“ in bars do so with the understanding that they are working within a limited time frame. Almost all are operating on low rent leases and have constructed thier bars in a manner that everything can be removed within 24 hours. But do you really think the government is organized enough to roll down the beach, crush all of the buildings and do so without a bulldozer driver being lynched? Do you think they have the resources to properly plan and execute a full on demolition of over 100 Dominican businesses? My guess is that this will be a ten year project that never gets finished.
We have seen, many times over the years, that the government is capable of getting a small project like this done. It would take about 10 days to clear the beach of casetas. After 3 days notice, at 5 am troops roll in. By 6 am the equipment is unloaded and starting to work. What will happen this time depends on what the government finally decides to do. Many of the casetas are within the 60 meter protected area, the rest are on private property.
An interesting point that many of the casetas are within the 60 metre protected area. That must apply to almost all beach bars and businesses all over the country, including nearby Cabarete.

It does apply "universally" with regards to the 60 meter public land law, but the government can legally grant permission and exceptions. Similar to how a company stole those rights at Encuentro recently by the government being paid off. But at La Boca, they refused to allow the building of a very high end resort in Cabarete by Marriott.
When this is all done you can be sure...that the government will be in on a land grab, as members of this goverment will have pieces of Sosua beach front..........
Numbers that are artificially pumped up ?...name some numbers in this country that are real.........
It actually answers a LOT .. thank you..
