Another Dubious Land Transaction on La Isla Bonita?
Residents near the San Pedro lagoon are up in arms over the purported sale of a property they say had been set aside for the construction of a park. The sought-after location was being pursued by the Rubio family whose matriarch had been living nearby for over twenty-five years. Each time she inquired about the vacant waterfront, she was informed that the property was crown land and that it had been designated as a recreational space. It came to their attention recently, however, that the parcel in question had been sold quietly through a real estate company on the island. Stephen Rubio, who has for years moored his boat on the empty lot, says that the previous administration underhandedly sold off the property.
