Yeah, I already booked to go to Bali instead.
I wouldn't know what to do all day in Sosua without the beach.
Yes that's exactly what my wife always say about what is happening in Sosua.
She said someone need to start recording and uploading different type of videos of Sosua.
I would if I have the time.

On the surface it looks like the beginning of another "normal" day at the beach in Sosua. Not seeing a buildup of police in the area at this time. I'm am hearing rumors of an official announcement that is supposed to clarify what will happen and when phase one of the redevelopment will begin. As is often typical with this project there was a flurry of initial activity and declarations a couple of days ago but what was announced has not yet came to pass.
I have no doubt that eventually the redevelopment will begin in earnest but for now we can only wait and watch as we have been doing for as long as I can remember.

Yeah...I will still go to Sosua to visit friends/family but I am looking at Tobago for a good chunk of the winter.
The beach will there, what might change a lot is the environment.
Arrabalizacion in the sorrounding areas that's what need to be cleaned up.

It looks like they will finally succeed in changing Sosua Beach. I know a couple of Dominicans with vacation homes near which they owned from before it became the type tourist area it has been. They must be happy and also dr1 member bathata who invested in RE. But I don’t think it solves those problems David Collado is addressing. That just moves around. More online and to Punta Cana as we discussed on another thread.
I've been wondering the same thing. Unless they start closing down businesses on PC along with the Casino disco club I doubt it will have a real impact other than putting a few hundred (mostly) honest people out of work.
I think they are trying to reduce the problem in some specific areas of Sosua and bring Sosua to what it used to be 20 years ago.
Turismo de familias en los hoteles.

It may work. A big step of course is taking over the beach. But overall the problems David Collado talks about is not solved in Sosua that easy and certainly not in the DR overall.
There is a lot of trying to solve the problem without solving the problem.
Judging from the comments on David Collados Twitter account Dominicans don’t think it changes anything. One comment asks Collado if he is aware that there are hotels in Punta Cana and Puerto Plata that has it as it’s main business.
That must be more like 30 years ago.
I was there 20 years ago and there were more hookers everywhere than there are now and there certainly were no families...
I was there also...back in 2001...it was the wild west. Craziest place I had ever been.
...and the beach was a free for all...the stories I have...omg. My mid life crisis...I am past all that now I am old and settled.
100 % true un till economic conditions improve wages social programs and a new law banning prostitution,, redoing the beach wont end the problem chicas will just shift operations else where
