Not only this, but in the second picture, that other 96% is ripe for rezoning - money men will not stop until they buy off enough politicians to develop it into something resembling the first picture.

Edit: I'm not saying I like it, I'm just stating facts.

We must save the natural beauty of this island from being destroyed by developers!

The shores become resort property. The rest becomes a mini-mall. The resort buys the apartment complex a year later. With any houses, all houses get bought by cooperations and rented out as overpriced Airbnb houses. Fuck we can't have anything nice with unfettered capitalism.

Edit: Sorry, off-topic rant.
