Great initiative.

While this is good news, I hope this does not lead to urban sprawl. More urban concentration facilitates better public service delivery systems and travel time.

@Editor,

Where are the pictures illustrating project progress? I'd much rather see those than that of Mr. Geronimo.

MJEV.

Here's a picture of it:

It's revolutionary alright!

trailers?


How about this:

El residencial Michell Marie ubicado en el kilometro 14 de la autopista Duarte es un proyecto cerrado de 60 apartamentos en 12 edificios y se trata del segundo proyecto que utilizara paneles solares para las áreas comunes.

i am more worried about the contributors to the pensionfund ,,hope that I have false worries

Sink holes beware.

What we need most are prefab housing for the very poor. Especially those inhabiting both sides of the Ozama river. It's a pity to see people living in such dire conditions. They can be moved and the eyesore slums razed and converted to parkland.
The middle class can fend for itself, the poor need urgent decent housing to prosper and join the growing middle class that in turn make for a much more prosperous, cleaner, attractive, pleasing, and happy nation.

Santo Domingo, in particular, needs less slums and more green spaces. Let's plant trees everywhere that's appropriate and applicable, such as street sidewalks and avenue divides. More trees= less pollution.

quasi slave wages paid to Haitians puts prefab housing at en economic disadvantage, Ron.

Occupation should be subject to sterilization.

urban sprawl!!! brilliant! so, Einstein, your answer is to concentrate poverty into a small area. create more ghettoes! residential apartheid! go back to posting articles on Jamaica, and save yourself further embarrassment. you are, once again, way in over your head.

Carajo!!

I hope that my pension money is still available, when I retire..

The solution is not more housing for the poor (read lazy) but less poor people. Priority #1 is to stop them breeding kids they can't afford.

Hey Roy who made you arbitrator as to which Dominicans have the right to reproduce? How about this..providing better education so that people can make better choices? But oh no..these are children of a lesser God according to you. Economic eugenics..that's what you're preaching.

I support economic eugenics across the whole island! Or tax those that have more kids than their economic situation allows:
poor = 2 kids
middle = 6 kids
rich = 12 kids

I'm glad those funds are being used somehow 'cause we know the construction workers will never see that money when they "retire"; never!

Only the big banks that "manage" the FUND are reaping the benefits via their big "administration fees"...

Now that's REAL Progress we can Point To!

@ cibaeño75,

Agree! The teaching of sex education to girls in particular, early in life, can reduce unwanted births by a good margin.
The way to do this, isn't by preaching abstinence, but to utilize various methods of contraception. Family planning is the way to go, with public schools making this a required subject for graduation.

The state must also distribute, free of charge: The pill, IUD, abortion, condoms, contraceptive foam, diaphragm, tied tubes, vasectomy, etc. ..Night classes for family planning and parenthood to all, can help too.

Danilo = 0 kids!

True to form Dread,
Amazing how Unc Adaboy has a magnetic pulse on the Rastafarian situation but he still cant use his power nor influence to help his kin down here in Santo D get an application at the mall of America .
Uncle Ady claims that this should improve " travel time " as to match his lightning speed when it comes to running away from a site when his tounge is tied around the bumper of his Massarati lol .
Incredible Doc, its just like we conferred about yesterday as we sat together on one of the most beautiful beaches on the island having a cold drink lol . You and I are sitting in the front row during the live performance while those who are sitting in the last row of the nose bleed section in the balcony reading propoganda from the lastest headlines know more than we that live here ever will .

However,
Uncle Ady comforts himself with the notion that he's doing his part .
Every year its a family tradition for Adys family in Santo D, as they gather around the doorway of the old tin shack in the expanded ghetto as they anxiously wait for that shiny red D.H.L truck to pull up and hand deliver the annual Entennmanns fruit cake with the 95 cent HALLMARK attached to it that their benevolant Uncle sends them and as always , like all the ones he's sent over the Xmas gone by ,
they open it and it says , '' MERRY XMAS SIS, A LIDDLE SUMTIN FOR YOU AND DA KIDS " BUT TRY NOT TO LET THE 5 OF YOU EAT IT ALL IN ONE SITTING HO HO ." I ALWAYS WISH IT COULD BE MORE"'

And sis says to the kids , Lets fill our egg nog tragos kids and drink a toast TO your Uncle ADY , BECAUSE WE KNOW ITS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS , AND AFTER ALL , he has always been well intended and altleast cares to send the very best fruit cake .

Roy this would be a great policy to implement in Haiti !!!!


Poor Dominican cannot afford the children they have, that is true.

However, there is plenty of food in Dominicana, and one way or another people survive.


But, in Haiti people are starving there, because there is no food.

Nevertheless, they are still breeding like guinea pigs, without control.


You should go to the other side of the border, and become a planning parenthood advocate there.

Meanwhile, I am going to use my wiener here, to reproduce.

Jed said,

''Lets plant trees everywhere '', jajajajaja. so the puppies like Dreamy and the flying purple people eaters can have more places to piss on before they sell them off . Also Jed , Im sure we could get the supplies we lack from the evergreen fields of Beverly Maryland to get the ball rolling ?

ayyyyyyyy ,my good ol comrade Jed is once again giving us the 6pm edition of the Santo Domingo early news as he gazes through his binoculars and gives us a first hand birds eye view report from the South West point of his deer stand in the back woods of Gaithersburg .

as i said, heartbeat, you have a gift for seeing things clearly, and articulating them even more clearly. but we can cut Atabey some slack. when you have been a loser all your life, and continue to be one, you probably try everything in your powers to convince people that you are important. in his case, this is an example of results falling way below effort.

"an example of results falling way below effort"

A submission to DT’s Hall of Famous Dr. Dread Quotable!

PS

Anyone producing T-Shirts with the quote must first negotiate Royalty Rights with the Dr. D!

Dread my friend

Dread has been through the school of hard knocks and when you sit and listen as you drink from the the fountains of his experience and humble wisdom , you know your in the presence of a man that is the real deal and not some wanna be cyber punk who mascaredes and misrepresents him self like many of the plastic skin suits on this forum . Again Doc, I want to publicly thank you for your advice and openess as I my time spent with you has radically changed many of my self destructive view points and helped me over the hurdle to the next stage and I have greatly benefited from your life experience and philosophies .You are both a gentleman and a scholar that out classes the best of them.

thanks, heartbeat. the sentiments are more than mutual. we all learn from each other, unless we think we know it all already. then we end up knowing nothing. be well, my friend.

I'm still not Dominican enough to know everything.

Oh, oh!. It seems Mr. Heartbeat is having a relapse. He's reverting to his old self and typing up unintelligible stuff again! The poor fellow thinks I’m a hillbilly from West Maryland territory, named Jed.

It's OK, though. He'll snap out of it, eventually…Or not.These multiple personality disorders can take
lots of time with the analyst, and are not easy to treat. It’s ,however, alleviated with heavy doses of anti- psychotic drugs and repeated sexual activity with multiple partners, which in itself, can carry a degree of danger associated with places, people or things.

It is sometimes crucial that he’d be confined to a mental institution and heavily sedated to counter the urge to escape into the real world and put himself in more danger again.
It has been known to be of therapeutic value that he’d be allowed to escape, as it were, into cyberspace in order to counter the desire for risky behavior. ... For your sake, friend, I hope this is where you are now.

Well Jed ,
as you should have learned from the last episode of Green Acres , Arnie the pig always returns to roll in the mud , and now that Larry the Cable guy has taken a station break to go and empty the old car jar while they pause for station identification , Jed has decided that he wants to chase me around the out house with his pitch fork as he yells " I GONNA GITCHA , i GITCHA lol.
However Jed , your psychological diagnostics of me are not that far off the money and as they say , it takes one to know one but the difference is that atleast I know Im a head case so there is hope for me .


'

I will go easy on you though Jed , your a little hot under the collar because you broke the g string on your banjo again while you were flossin yer dentures with it . That explains the big space between the yeller tobaacy stained Buckies .

Cmon Jed,
Its gittin late and I want you to get atleast one more good shot in before you pass out at the Domino table playing solitaire while Rover the blood hound lays at your feet licking the drops of moonshine off the tips of your unlaced boon dockers each time the bottle tips over .

I never said I wasn’t mentally pixilated, and didn’t know it! . I, as a matter of fact, think I’m better off for it. I’m possessed with the smarts to make a huge positive difference in our DR. Or so, I think.

To the many so-called “sane” people, it’s natural to interpret this as weird. Not knowing that the greatest geniuses of all time, at one time or another, have been labeled “coco locos”, and delusional in their probing of what's out there, and how it may be manipulated to fit our aim for total bliss in our lifetime!

Thanks to my tried and true pursue of stuff, I have discovered the key to what women really want. A question of the utmost importance that has baffled humankind, and discovered by a lucky few!
I will not reveal it. It’s mine to know, and for you to find out! ..Ha!

Mr Hearty, in my jabber of self-acclaim, I failed to address the important question of your sanity.... Yes, I believe you are as whacko as anyone could be, and congratulations are in order. I mean, anyone who willingly spends years in the DR, for no other reason but sexual and sensual gratification, gets my vote for nonconforming guy of the year! Once I return there, I hope to follow in your footsteps. !

Remember Jed ,


When all is said and done and I am nothing more than a forgotten memory a few days from now , this is all just pure entertainment and not a personal attack on you with an alterior motive . As you can see Jed , the law of supply and demand applies on this forum as much as it does in the tent communes of Haiti. In our quest for more meatless raw material to digest ,only to be used as a catalyst to convert outdated headlines into useless over opinionated excrement coupled with our unresolved childhood issues, we throw todays soup de jour into yesterdays pot of meatballs so we can make a stew thick enough to hurl at one another in the employee cafeteria in hopes of picking off one of the members of our supporting cast and thus giving our egos another shot of botox and a chance for superstardom survival on Dominican IdoL Today .

That said , I will leave you with this my friend ,
A wise friend recently taught me that true purpose is found in the ordinary faces of every day life .
If you cant find anything better than silence than don't break it , but if you can , leave that situation or circumstance better than it was when you found it and as a result of you having been there , you will have not only made a difference but you will have atleast in the eyes of your Creator be a great success .
Amen

Well said, Hearty.! I could never, ever, phrase it the way you did!
This is something that makes, and doesn't make any sense at the same time.
I understand it and don't. This has got to be one of those paradoxes we all wrestle with...wow, man!
Roll another one, please!

Sorry man , They say that unlike the woman, the high grade is pure shit here and I believe it , but maybe when I am living in Mexico a week from now , I can give you a different perspective lol.

Sleep well Ron

You're leaving us Mr. Hearty? Wow!.....
Well, please keep in touch and let us know all about Mexico. Including the potency and availability of all pleasurable things!

Be well, friend.
