Carina, don't know why you have such hard feelings for the people on the malecon who are bing 'relocated', but for sure, regardless of who is behind then this is not a BAD thing. Really. Most of my friends, associates and employees are born and raised in Puerto Plata and NONE of then see this as a bad thing. Humanity is cruel sometimes, but in the end, it will be for the greater good.....I know, I know, seeing those eyes daily is sad, very said...pero no te preocupes, se vaya bien y mucho mejor. No tienes idea que lo ha pasado ayi, hace anos. La gente local estan feliz, believe me.
