Road to nowhere

> Those views will be great until the high-rise condos and hotels block them. This road is part of the local crooked politicians' package to spur the development of a megaproject called "Punta Garrobo". Even though it will make access easier to some land we own in the area and thus increase its value, we would rather see this entire peninsula set aside as a protected park or ecological zone. We think the view is much prettier from a footpath looking through the vegetation than from a paved road overlooking cleared lots. Don't you?

Actually Rob that doesn't work either because without maintenance the weeds grow so high it blocks the view. There used to be a nice vista though to La Ropa on the way up the road but it is overgrown to the point where you can't see past the weeds. I agree a park would be nice but you would have to drive there, eliminating a lot of the local population. The only practical way is to develop the area so that it will be maintained. Perhaps those nice politicians (you don't have to use the word "crooked" by now we all realize that word is synonymous no matter what country you live in) could arrange for a park as part of the development which would bring much needed work to the construction trades.
