Congratulations!!! "Water Is Life… Every Drop Counts!"
Way of the world. The have’s and the have not’s. Greed and corruption. Money talks 🇵🇷
NEVER would happen in HAWAII.. never!!!! our coast belongs to the people of Hawaii period!!!
World Economic Forum: You Will Own NOTHING!
Can we get an update on the next meeting? Come to San Juan~!
We love americans from the mainland, but the laws implemented by the government give too much benefits to outsiders, rent has increase by 35% to 45% in some places, while the wages stay almost the same 🙌🏼
I have visited Puerto Rico many times and I am very happy that they will be able to keep their beaches open for the public. The people and the island are beautiful! End the Jones Act now.
Gentrification trying to stick again. They always want something that's not there's.
Aguadilla I use to live their
This is another 'scourge of Californians' infecting the rest of the world. Puerto Rico should become independent and have a strict dictatorship, which is the destiny of the rest of the crap hole South American countries. WE don't want Puerto Rico to become a state. Puerto Ricans don't want to become Americans.
Blame the rich and the greedy rich and the corrupted government
The government and globalist are trying to take over yall beaches from the local people so yall wont enjoy yall land and freedom. vote out the politicians.
Guns would be quicker and more efficient.
A beach should never be privately owned every human should be have access to the Lords creations….Amen
This lady is making an idiotic argument. The "investment" she is talking about is temp construction jobs and permanent and perpetual dead end service jobs. Now, if the invested those pharmaceutical companies and hired researchers that are local…now that is a start but still not good enough. And giving up resources for service jobs is bs.
I am an Island boy and I am protesting the privatization of public beaches, that’s a new song coming soon.
This should be a wake up call for those that want statehood
Got to be careful who you do business with… a lot of them have armed militias who can disguise themselves with other identities.
To the sell outs Beware ! ! !
Pendejos, so they can charge way HIGHER IN PROPERTY TAXES and
when they raise your property taxes and you don't pay them they take
your land and auction your property to developers who don't want and
or care for the native people of Puerto Rico but what them out. Their
only agenda is to get your land to exploit it to death that is the bottom
line.
