Sure situations vary but you won't find anyone willing to sell off their beach now (not for cement for sure) - world sand price is astronomic cause every fecker wants a beach in front of the high-rises/villas. Building sand can not be used to build a beach, hence the endless columns of sand/gravel trucks from here.
What I don't understand is if everyone is bankrupt cause no tourists and nobody can come here cause of corona WHO is using all the fecking sand???
What "situation which is ongoing at this time."??
Let me clarify some of what I know, and attempt to project upon the rest.
First off despite what appears to be ownership by some large hotel beach fronts the beaches of the RI are deemed public domain and any sand removal from those beaches is illegal when removed for sale. This theft is enforced when known by civil police (or is supposed to be).
The sand you see from Karangasem is from the bukit, and although black typically has some white flecks from white limestone that will distinguish it from black sand beach.
Secondly the incongruity of having this economic depression in Bali along with numerous large building projects at the same time can be explained by those projects having commenced prior to the pandemic. If there is belief in the long term picture it isn’t a conflict when funds were available in inception.
What is more the downturn is a good time to build when labor is cheap and without a bunch of tourists blocking traffic.
