Yet another giant office building has been approved for the city. Whoo-hoo.
Meanwhile, where are the people who're going to fill all these office buildings going to live, park and eat? The rate of housing bring provided for these people is laughable. The Bulls' head car park will be adding a story, but there's no change in the streets themselves so the overall traffic in and out of the city, guess what? Gonna increase. As for eating out, heck. Tuscany's closed, MR Onions has to find a new home (yep, for another office block's going to take over), Pickled Onion is renovating, Flanagan's will renovate, Portofino's may renovate.
And dear lord, I forgot to mention the closure of retailers such as Trimingham's and Smith's. Not easy for local retailers to thrive here because of high prices.
But a boon to those who are trying to make the city look like the urban meccas of New York City. Well I suppose I ought to be grateful that Bermudians will profit from all of this... wait a second, it's only the already-wealthy Bermudians. Never mind.
