robotina comments on When turmoil spells a property bargain

prices are going up, but not w/o a cost i am working in cartgena at this exact moment documenting the problems that are resulting from this incredible rise in property value. thousands and thousands of people who have lived in these areas for over 200 years are losing their ability to make a living, and are being forced to move off the land to make way for giant hotel complexes for tourists. as an american, i certainly appreciate luxury, but what is happening in cartagena right now is an environmental and social tradgedy of enormous proportions. AND these people have no one to speak for them in their national or regional government or in the media...until now.
