Much has been made of positive and negative impacts associated with the emplacement of a bridge linking the mainland and the island of Chiloé. I do not think so miss the culture, traditions and everything that characterizes the Chiloe, that has been lost already and it seems that no set limit on the bridge is an assimilation of the modes (of life, production, etc. .) inland city.
I support a bridge involving welfare of Chiloe. Therefore, the possibility of reducing the 40-50 minutes that today we can take to travel 3.1 miles. By sea on a voyage from 5 to 10 minutes it makes me more attractive, especially when it comes to urgent medical transfers. But are the conditions under which the project has been presented that I cause resentment. Basically, this is a bridge that will facilitate the entry of resource extraction industries that will drive the development of services that will eventually benefit the entire community. At least that is how markets should operate. These services will Chiloé an attractive center for the development of many economic activities, and where the economy works people come new work. Thus, it would lower the current state of social return has the island when framing major public works that are missing now: precarious establishments with all their windows installed without broken boards on the floor, with access to inputs, a health covering various fields and has the necessary equipment other than the transfer to Puerto Montt constant chilota hospital care. Of course, public management considers the number of individuals to determine the social profitability of projects specifically aimed at public services without taking into account the particular geographical area.
So Bridge offers a possibility that markets in the medium to long term, promote economic development based on services, which will attract new people up to the number that we qualify as socially beneficial. But if the markets do not work that way? What happens in the meantime? We are forced to travel to the mainland to aspire to a more complete health, we must migrate to achieve a better education, we depend on the regional capital for many steps yet. So I am not convinced even the idea of \u200b\u200ba bridge, because of its high cost prevents public investment needed in Chiloé, to have better roads, better public buildings ready access to information and education.
I leave here the words of a group that played a long time, which makes a fast and furious diagnosis of what is and what is missing: Dale
Insular (Insulana)
So many years have
past and we have the same thing, forgotten, relegated
seems that no matter what happens to the people who inhabit this land.
Without a decent health and a complete education, prevent us from advancing
only promises a bridge that does not fix the problems that ruin our island
But now many people are beginning to wake up and do not accept this garbage
this force goes Seriously, the potatoes are burning, Chiloé rebels.
Unfortunately, there are strong voices in Chiloé that they hold political or economic powers, where the mayors are forcing their staff to leave their normal work activities to go to block access to the island.
Ultimately, I believe that the construction of a bridge implies benefits for Chiloe, but not now. Before missing a real willingness to integrate the island to the rest of the country, especially the inhabitants of the island, salmon are not the only investors who live in Chiloé. And that's not just a bridge of steel and concrete.
And for those who want know, yes, I am of Chiloé.
