Plaza(s) plural and additional details from the "negotiations" about Sosua Beach in case you want more information:
That video was put up over six months ago and was based on the information being fed to them at that time.
I trust Danny's information a whole lot more than some the other's here who think they have "inside information" since he is directly affected by what's going on there. Shortly after that video went up Danny put his condo up for sale and all but announced he was taking his road show to another country.
Six months later, the condo is still for sale, Malibu's is still operating and only Danny knows what his next move might be. But he said along time ago he felt that his time on Playa Sosua was limited.
You seem to act like you are an authority on the matter but never really divulge your sources for information which I suspect is likely google searches and not from someone that really knows. The reality is the only ones that really know are those within the government making it all happen and they are not going to divulge the real truth to anyone but a trusted source that needs to know. I would be willing to bet that Mayor Willie knows full well what's going to happen
Just because they are only moving dirt and doing construction in one location doesn't mean there isn't more coming.
They pretty much have to start with the location they are in to keep from knocking down shacks and disrupting things to much.
They need to finish one area before starting on another or all hell is gonna break loose. These projects will take a very long time to complete.
They can't really do to much on the El Batey side without tearing some of the shacks down since there is not enough room on that side to do a whole lot without destruction of what's already there.
I for one definitely believe that change is coming to Sosua. One can't have progress without change. But it will remain to be seen if the future Sosua will end up being better or worse. I have absolutely no doubt there is a core group of visitors currently going there that they would rather not be there
I also have no doubt that what they say and what eventually happens will be 2 different things and whatever happens at the playa will take a very long time to accomplish. This very subject has been debated for at least 15-20 years and probably way longer.
I also have no doubt that some will be happy with the results and some won't but there are always winners and losers with these projects.
