I wonder if the lack of progress described above is intentional? I remember a lot of complaints about how much the island had changed over 20 years. Too much development, traffic increases, etc. What if the decision was made to slow down construction this time? Part of the appeal of the islands was the special feeling you got when visiting when compared to Florida. I personally liked it rough around the edges as opposed to lined up, perfectly maintained palm trees, seeing goats on the roads, etc. I felt it lost its appeal all shiny and new. Just another person's perspective. Have a good day..
