It is sad to see folks caught in limbo. The more i learn about the island and the delays is that the delays are only worth it if they cure the long term problems of establishing property lines, clean deeds and titles.

Some people will get hurt and lose financially as things are straightened out or at least formalized.

But one would hope with computer record keeping, gps and laser surveying equipment that long-term ownership and future transfers would be clean after the pain is suffered.

I would be so pissed and stressed if my future and fortune were tied to some bureacrats in Paris and the Haque.

I dont think I would be impressed by local bureaucrats but at least I could show up at the office everyday to check status and sweet talk officials.
