Isn’t it funny how upset some people get when confronted with the apparently unconscionable prospect of what they perceive as their ever-dwindling slice of the white dream succumbing to the inevitable. Get some perspective and take a drive from the airport to the CBD one day and remind yourself what real urban blight and misery is before you whine about your 'view being obscured'. And you can rest assured - For every one of you provincial Nimbys that complains about this development also doesn’t pass up an opportunity for a nice old moan about the shoddy state of the economy and the lack of foreign investment – well like it or not this is the way forward, and the first of many. Grow up and realise that in order for progress to occur, change is necessary - besides, with any luck they'll open yet another branch of Ocean Basket and a Primi for you to put your well heeled feet up in so you can reminisce about the 'old days' when our beaches and promenades were pristine, pearly white paradises and you could get a spur burger for under 6 rondt SA.
Yours truly,
Appalled

I have stayed in SeaPoint a few times and have a dear friend living there - it would be devastating to put concrete where nature belongs x |

Public space should remain public space. This business of wanting to develop on the promenade is infuriating. Leave it alone and find somewhere else to make your dirty profit!!!!! |

Only when there are no fish in the rivers, all the trees have been cut down and the water is black will we realise that money cannot be eaten.
Is this about leaving a better world for our children or making money? I sense the latter. |

Money should not be allowed to buy everything to make a beautiful community space like this exclusive. If we do not stand up for Mother Nature who will? |

I run along the promenade regularly and wouldn't want to lose that area to a another shopping centre / mall - don't we have enough malls and shopping centres in and around Cape Town that we can visit.
We don't need more construction and with the electricity issues, we don't need more buildings / shops / restaurants / gyms / etc using up more electricity anyway.
Don't do it! |

pls do not develop the promenade. it would be detrimental to runners, walkers and the morale of people living on the seaboard. |

I feel we have sufficient development along the Atlantic seaboard and in particular along the Seapoint beachfront with more to come in Green Point and along that beachfront. I frequently run along that coast as well swim in the public pool. It is a lovely free access space to the sea, much used by the citizens of Cape Town of all income groups, race and creed. Lets leave it like that for all to enjoy the relaxing sunsets and invigorating sea environment. |

I love the promonade, I run there at least 3 times a week, it is a very special part of Cape Town that most certainly doesn't need any further development. |

Its crazy, how do they expect to route trafiic effectively to this location when we already have such problems and congestion! We have enough malls; rather build them out in areas where they are needed!The sea front needs to be kept as it is and must rather be made more safe etc than a new mall etc; |

I use the promenade and pools regularly for exercise and would hate to loose that area. Besides the fact that it is a beautiful area to relax in after a hard days work. |

I travel monthly to Cape Town and one of my favourite places for recreation is the prominade!!!!!!!!
Can we implement same new logic this year that our various government and munisipalities of previous generations have neglected?
If such a special place is to be converted, how unfair that it will eventually be rapt up by a small percentage of society - people with a lot more money than the community is use to,..
AND why should everyone always have to organise a petition to make a point of common knowledge? We as humans have so many past experiences to guide us into doing what is good for the community, it will be a clear indication of self disstruction also known as a shot in the foot!!!!
With all things taken in respect (Robin Island in the background) let 2008 be a 'margilisation from the concrete jungle' in other words - REDEEMING LOVE!

The sea point pool is a landmark and used by thousands of out door lovers in Sea Point and the surrounding areas. To put up a hotel there would be a disgrace and only benefit a select few! |
