No. I'm saying that Costa Bonita was built against the wishes of nearly everyone in Culebra, using unethical business practices to obtain permitting, and careless contruction methods that violated USFWS regulations and property. High density developments elsewhere on the island are ready to do likewise, taking comfort from the fact that if you can "outlast" the opposition, it's ok to do as you please. There are frequent outages, power and water, on the island as it exists. Gasoline runs out all the time. The construction of these places creates, as did CB, erosion that kills coral and the other sea creatures that are the backbone of Culebra's primary economic asset, tourism. I'd suggest that, since CB is a fait accompli, you should go ahead and enjoy the wonders of Culebra like everyone else, but trying to talk up the concept is bound to be resented.
