OK, so here's the problem with the government's position--it is about 9 months too late to make such an announcement.
Let's say, back in June when the government kicked all the tenants out, they made such an announcement, complete with an announcement that the rent was going to be 2500 E per month. People would have been very upset at the time, but it would have been much kinder than this BS.
At that point, back in June, probably a lot of them would have said, "Wow, that stinks, but it's time to move on, let's go somewhere else. We cannot afford that rent, no way, no how, especially in June through October." They didn't have that choice. They had to just WAIT and HOPE that the government would treat them fairly. That clearly did not happen.
They were repeatedly told that the old tenants would get first dibs on the new spots and the amount of the new rent wasn't even announced until when? Sometime in January?? Can't remember. Now the businesses have been totally shut down with zero income for over 6 month ASSUMING that the rent would be reasonable, based on the previous rent. And don't forget, they made people state they would take the space without even knowing what the rent was supposed to be!!
I don't know what the truth is of the health code violations. I do know that there is NO WAY that anyone could operate a restaurant at those locations without a HARD ROOF. That BS sail structure would not work for 10 minutes. Designed by some 'architect' who builds things that may look pretty but they don't work. So in essence the government's position is full of you-know-what, in my book.

Hysterical. Reminds me of my years in Canada. I try not to worry so much about things that really don't concern me. They will sort it all out eventually. In just a few days we get to see what they have done to the place. The pics look great. Gonna miss the old Baywatch crew though.

Wow, I'm thinking that could be the first time you've ever agreed with me on here.... But I honestly do think that, if that is the government's position, that's fine, but announce it nine months ago and then people could move on with their lives..

The jet ski rental guys are somewhat different, to me. Their costs are really pretty low, compared to the restaurants. No electric, no water, most likely only one employee, much different than running a restaurant, with all the associated costs.
