Nothing comical about it and no lack of understanding on my, Tambos or Seamonkey's part.

The money I spend, regardless of its source, is not considered tourist dollars. The governments where expats live around the world do not consider this money to be tourist dollars. Yet you are in some way "right" and the governments are "wrong".

The future of Sosua and Cabarete, in my opinion, will depend more upon those who reside here and less on tourist dollars.

Agree. dollars from the weekly chica chasers and pensioners have been keeping the town going for over a decade. Take away those two dynamics and Sosua dies. Take away the girl chasing component and all those cute, quaint little restaurants and bars that serve cheap El Presidentes, cheap breakfasts, dinners and lunches that the pensioners love to frequent will be boarded up in a New York minute leaving the town to become more squalid and desperate.

If Sosua lifeblood is dependent on expat local dollars it will most certainly go bust.

With the attempt at ending the prostitution in Sosua, so that Sosua may be reborn as a family destination, does anyone know what the actual plan is?

Would it not make more sense to just move the prostitution to another area and attempt to 'control' it? It's not like you can end it, the mongers will continue to come, and the ladies will continue offer their services.

I don't believe anyone has even suggested why, we, as expats, have any say in changing Sosua? I remember when they had concerted efforts on 6th Ave in Ft Lauderdale FL. They supposedly ran all the girls off, but they went elsewhere and caused problems for the same persons who were looking for problems, down Las Olas Blvd. And when their selective enforcement finished on 6th all the girls went home to 6th Ave! Not meaning to divert attention, but why? Why?

The x-pat / pensioners in the greater Sosua area are no way equipped to prop up the local economy. They are looking for a 250 peso breakfast and a place to nurse their 100 peso el Presidents for hours. Then it's straight home to monitor the Luz meter.

Not to mention many of them are married to Dominicanas, so they are paying their families Luz meter as well..

Not the dozens I know. They drink like fish and eat out dinner and lunch several times a week.
Tell me where can I get 100 Presidentes ? I'll go there to see that

If anyone thinks that the almost 50,000 person population of Sosua is more than partly dependent upon tourist or expat dollars I would like to see the proof on that. Pedro Clistante is a tiny section of Sosua. I stated that it is my opinion that over time expats who are residents will play more of a role than whoremongers play, but that role will always be a small one. Do you really think that whore mongers play a huge role in supporting 50,000 people that live in Sosua?

I could be wrong that expats will play a larger part than whore mongers in the future. But I doubt it. I see the trend in more properties being built and occupied slowly over time. And others see what they call "harassment" of the chicas.

True. You understand my point.

We are only talking about a small section of Sosua when we refer to anyone living as an expat or a tourist from out of the country propping it up. The greater Sosua area has 50,000 people living in it. Please explain to me how the amount of expats and tourists combined ever at any time supported 50,000 people.

Tourists pump money into the local economy.

X-Pats pump money into the local economy.

Whore mongers pump money into the local economy.

In the DR, the question is, which group can the powers that be, line their pockets the most from. This whole thing is about money.

I can't see any sector which has not been,or will soon be, unfavourably affected,directly or indirectly by the removal of tourism from Sosua.

The question remains,
Why is she doing this,who is paying and why is it not being opposed by stake holders also in what way does it benefit local citizens?

Any fool can dismantle a complex organism,few can successfully re-build it..
