Obviously by building more houses on reclaimed land!

But we shouldn’t mention those, Astrid has one in Gozo.

Now Joseph Muscat’s government has just

1) reduced construction fees and made it easier to build and

2) asked developers to come up with plans for land reclamation so that they build even more.

Let’s hope to god that we’re not heading towards a property bubble.

When she opposed, the proposal at Ramla l-Hamra, she suggested, erroneously or disingenuously, government should buy the land.

Her reasoning was that since development wouldn’t be allowed anyway, the price would be on the lowish side hence the problem resolved.

@ Zunzana – Not necessarily. Technically, one could construct off-shore islands where the sea-bed is not too deep, though the cost thereof would be prohibitive, and not even worth considering.

They may express concern or (if they really want to be ever so daring) worry, but not disappointment.

Is not land reclamation always close to shore in Malta?
