There are those that oppose the proposed extension of land leases, saying it [land] is too precious to lose. How is land lost via extending its lease term? It\u2019s only a proposed extension, not a wholesale approach to slam open the floodgates for more land sale.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s obvious that even lawmakers simply have no respect for the rights of individuals to own and dispose of their property. Why the constant assault and violation of landowners\u2019 rights? Perhaps such lack of respect for our individual rights to own our land is founded on a fully honed \u201ceverything is government\u201d mentality.<\/p>\n
For lawmakers, I ask: Who would invest here under prevailing conditions of policy changes occurring erratically every other half and full moon? The NMI needs to get its act together and understand for once that it isn\u2019t the center of the universe.<\/p>\n
Laulau Bay is a perfect example why it was sold to another investor. Others were given land extensions while it must endure the indecisions of politicians. It has opted-out rather than build a hotel on public land where return of investments is basically shot. There\u2019s hardly any room now for senseless intramural debate, but there\u2019s certainly a lot of room to, yes, grow up!<\/p>\n
