Bosaso Developments

Old Somali architecture is heavily influenced by Arab architecture (stolen from Persians?).

Around this time is when Harti merchants were already intermarrying and trading with Arabs like the Omanis. Others left for Kismaayo and surrounding areas.

Could they have "learned" from the persians?

They should consider public/private partnership with local businesses or diaspora. Let's turn the 'roads' into a 'business model' for them to collect 'revenue' from vehicles. Yes our PL revenues taxation wise will be shared with private investors, but at least we get more roads quicker.

Or let's set a rule for every 4 business people they share the burden of road costs or else why are we allowing them to operate in our market place is beyond me to explain, the taxes they pay are very 'low' and not enough to cover infrastructure costs. Either that we will need to find out ways to cheapen the construction 'phase' of roads, especially around 'materials'.

Is it cheaper to 'hire' one contractor and team to focus on creating 'asphalt' for us for duration of 5 years and for those 5 years we just focus on road development. JPLG is good but u need also other lifelines be it DIASPORA or Business community or even the locals. One road a year should be allocated to 'locals', they can sell their livestock, 20-30 goats is nothing in the big scheme of things per family.

I noticed in PL and Somalia in general not a lack of houses but a lack of public services.

1. No sewage or waste management. I mean how hard is it to allocate somewhere outside the city the 'dump' zone underground and lay down pipes to each neighborhood and toilet.

2. Lack of clean water. They have water but it's not drinkable. It's like drinking mineral water. They need to sterilize the bacteria and harsh chemicals.

3. Lack of garbage collection. Each house should be enforced by law to have bin and the local govt charges them at the end of year for 'garbage' collection fee.

4. Roads is an obvious one their dealing with but it's not happening at 'fast' rate. We should be aiming for 20 roads a year, their needs to be a timetable about this until we are completely road free.

5. I don't see sale taxes per item like in the west. In west the prices are fixed so it's easy to work out the tax, in PL it not 'fixed' and 'floats' from day to day depending on supply/demand like the old world market.

6. Electricity, we need to ensure we regulate the 'cost' so poor people can afford to light up their home. We need some sort of 'poor man' social card where they get everything 'cheap' to cover the basics in life.

Outside of ports/airports there is nothing else a government really does in service delivery. Even some of those are privatized like 'water/electricity'

Xalka Waara Is New Neighborhood of Bosaso. It's lived by southerners. They getting town planning services done like electricity, water, lights, roads, and homes. I think they are here to stay for the long-term which @PuntiteQueen will not be happy about
