Although I don't understand it totally, the French side has new building code regulations since the hurricane and if you want to rebuild what was destroyed by the hurricane, if it is within a certain amount of feet from the water, you have to get a building permit, even just to rebuild what was there before. I believe that is correct. So that part I understand. That's why places like Coco, etc., haven't been rebuilt yet on Orient. (Don't necessarily agree with their policy, but understand this in connection with that.) What I don't understand is the stuff about not having a business license. Unless a) he didn't have one before the storm or b) the Collectivite' has required everyone to get a new business license after the storm.
