Too much development

As a long-time visitor, since the 1980s, to Grand Cayman I am disappointed to watch the overdevelopment of the Seven Mile Beach area especially.

The Cayman residents were very welcoming, the shops, the restaurants all made for a wonderful visit and continue to.

Along with progress comes the traffic and, unfortunately, crime. The beach vendors were never around years ago. They all need to have government-issued permits, which is in progress. I will return in the Fall for my usual visit. I want to thank all the Cayman people for sharing their paradise.
