The NEWEST addition to Malecón de Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic!

[@rafm3068]

Its great the work they are doing in the Malecon. I hope work continues in other Malecon areas in the country! Welcome back and God bless!

[@PurelyWalking]

Me too, I hope they continue!

Great to see the imorovements. I grew up around there as a child i used to go skating there. Any time i cut class that was the spot also😅

[@Dee-pj7hh]

It’s a nice park; and it’s family and kids friendly, things just keep improving there in a positive way. Thanks for the video Sis👍

[@PurelyWalking]

That frustration, voiced by the young mother with her children on scooters, will continue to build among the local population. The economy is geared towards foreigners, and more specifically, anyone with money. Housing prices are skyrocketing due to the ever increasing number of foreigners buying properties there in the DR. The only place left for Dominicanos to enjoy is the campo. Punta Cana, Samaná, Puerto Plata, Piantini, Naco, and now areas on the Malecón are now well above the reach of most locals. And I am only referring to the "middle-class" Dominicans. This huge disparity will only continue to grow as the country looks towards foreign money and foreigners. What will happen to the local population that has always struggled to keep up. Prices are already too high for me. Glad to see that they are investing in revitalizing areas on the Malecón, but I fear it is too little, too late for most of us.

Somebody from the opposition has always to complain, even though she has a valid point.

[@PurelyWalking]

Yea, I can understand her point.

Usar unas Columnas Romanas para que se usen el agua potable de las lluvias, ademas de un acantarillados de aguas como cloaca, para proteger la cuidad de posibles sunami. Se necesitan mas arboles, especialmente en el Faro a Colon, pueden ser de limoncillos, y citricos; tambien algo similar a los puestos de comidas para, y bebidas para que se desplacen mas el turistas a disfrutar de nuestra cultura, en un ambiente abierto, y porque no en el futuro, cuando haya electricidad, noturno.

Great video. Adding a pier with an observation desk or restaurant in El Malecón there would be a nice addition if the sea is shallow enough for 500 or 1000 ft from the coast in that area. A friend commented the same thing last time I was in the D.R. I’m thinking about a pier like in Downtown St Petersburg, Clearwater Beach, and Daytona Beach, Florida.

[@PurelyWalking]

That would be nice!

[@iSucrose]

It appears to be close to the livestock fair, or am I mistaken because I haven't been in the country for about 20 years? However, it does resemble the vicinity of my former neighborhood.

[@PurelyWalking]

Yessss it's close to Feria Ganadera!!! You're sharp as a tack, even after 20 years!

[@nathanfarias5779]

Wish they had better urban planning and more trees so that’s it’s shady to walk esp Piantini Naco etc .

[@PurelyWalking]

Yes, more trees would be nice!

[@alexg3195]

[@Lechonsitoasado334]

Great video but no reason to put the lady complaining with a touch of politics

[@OmegaJacko]

But she is not lieing everything she said is the truth the president is selling alot of areas to foreign investors that bike rental place is not for the dominican people or it would be free but they have to make they investment back its give & take that is business my friend 😊

[@franklintaveras8190]

Esa jabladora hablando disparate claro que se tiene que pagar para poder mantener el buen funcionamiento ese es el problema de nosotros los dominicanos que todo lo politizamos que lástima

[@PurelyWalking]

I can understand her point, because the people renting the bikes are a private business, but I agree with you, not everything has to be free. Its a matter of figuring out where the funds of those rental bikes are going

[@ssanson]

Puedo entender su punto, porque la gente que alquila las bicicletas es una empresa privada, pero estoy de acuerdo contigo, no todo tiene que ser gratis. Es cuestión de averiguar a dónde van los fondos de esas bicicletas de alquiler.

[@craigkarimalbasri4317]

Claro que tienen que cobrar algo y que no debería ser gratís, pero cobrar 500 pesos? Realmente, eso está fuera del alcance de la mayoría de los Dominicanos. Siempre con la idea de cobrar en dólares cuando la gente solo están ganando en pesos. Do you really want the DR to be the next Puerto Rico??? That seems to be the model they are following. Their lust for dollars is ruining the country for everyone else. You would think that by now, with all that money coming in, they would no longer have apagones...nope.

[@neliathen638]

Se equivoca si es un lugar publico y sus ninos siempre ivan a disfrutar ese parque porque no los dejan disfrutar, el que quiera rentar patines que renten pero estar en el lugar es de nuestro pueblo, no privado.

[@bberg4745]

I spent two months there . Theres such a garbage problem there. Can you please explain what is being done about it? I moved to Mexico and a garbage truck comes 5 days a week on my street. I believe nobody in politics cares about your country!

[@PurelyWalking]

I really dont know whats going on with city hall, but alot of people are having the same issue. Where I live theres no problem with garbage. Ill be looking into this and if I find any news, Ill definitely be making a video about it!

[@blkiry7588]

Congratulations..stay in mexico i live happy ever after....don't worry about DR..

[@bberg4745]

@@blkiry7588 haha yes much better here!!! thank you for your true honesty. You are racist I gather. Here Mexico is very welcoming.

[@tavroaar8173]

​@@bberg4745no matter what I love the DR. It has its issues but at least we do not have the drug and narco problem that Mexico has. Stay safe.

[@bberg4745]

@@tavroaar8173 it’s very safe here. More safe than my own country. There’s no drugs here or cartel. Years ago it was different but they brought in military personnel and beefed up the police force and now no issues. There’s no bars on any windows here. People leave their motorcycles and scooters outside. No theft whatsoever here. I loved the history of Santo Domingo. Many areas are clean yes but others don’t have anywhere to put their garbage. It would be nice if they had a dumpster on every city block. I will visit again. I love all cultures and people.

I Come To Santo Domingo Next Month, How Do I Find This Place @PurelyWalking?
