Following the succesful lobbying by neighbors of El Cangrejo against skyscrapers, the Ministry of Housing (MIVI) is having a number of town hall meetings (cabildos) in order to have the opinions of residents for and against additional construction.
Neighbors rejected 3 out 4 zoning changes proposed in Bella Vista, where older homes in 2-lane streets are being demolished every week to make way for skyscrapers and restaurants with insufficient parking.
The calendar of meetings scheduled by MIVI are:
.27 AUGUST: San Francisco (includes Paitilla and Boca la Caja).
.28 AUGUST: Juan Díaz (includes everything at each side of the Southern Corridor starting from Costa del Este).
.31 AUGUST: Parque Lefevre (includes Panama Viejo).
.3 SEPTEMBER: Pedregal.
.4 SEPTEMBER: Las Cumbres (includes Cerro Azul).
.5 SEPTEMBER: 2nd Bella Vista meeting.
.6 SEPTEMBER: 24 de Diciembre (includes parts of Tocumen).
Foreigners cannot vote in Panama elections, but as property owners they can participate in these town hall meetings.
