Why is it that speculators are never satisfied? Why do they have to keep pulling down old dwellings and building more high-rise structures?

A few days ago Mepa’s appeal board meeting met in Xemxija to consider the application for a five-storey building plus a penthouse in the middle of an established area in Triq is-Simar, where all the surrounding houses are two storeys high.

This application has already been turned down unanimously by Mepa but the persistent speculator has no consideration for the neighbourhood or the negative and social impact this monster building will have on our lives.

The authorities concerned should please keep in mind the psychological implication this building will have on people like us who strive so hard to obtain a residence for our families. This area will all be lost forever should this monster be allowed to be built.
