\n<\/a>The Pharaonical Project In A Nutshell<\/h3>\n
The speculators have already acquired large swaths of the mountain in Monte Br\u00e8 \/ Cardada: 30’000 square meters of constructible land in total, dispersed over a large area.<\/h5>\n
Their idea is to raze all the acquired houses, and build 3- or 4-story buildings in their place (a total of over 150 “luxurious” apartments\/rooms). They want to sell the modern apartments to foreign HNWIs (multimillionaires) at over CHF 22’000.- per square meter.<\/h5>\n
These 5-star facilities would also include some 70 parking spaces, 3000 square meters of spa, 2 restaurants, tennis courts and an indoor swimming pool (on land inaccessible from the road).<\/h5>\n
The speculators explain how, through “hotel management contracts”, they are able to circumvent the Lex Koller and Lex Weber.<\/h5>\n
The residences they are planning to build are to be co-financed by select corporations, and thus “branded” to become advertisement billboards in the form of real estate.<\/h5>\n
They describe these pseudo-luxurious new homes as “trophy assets” – i.e. the kind you buy not out of love for the region and its landscapes, but merely to show off as a futile prize.<\/h5>\n
The foreign HNWIs (residences’ owners and guests) are to be transported to and from the site by helicopter.<\/h5>\n
The site would be “highly visible from the lake”, and offer “a feeling of majesty to visitors”. It would thus be a caricature of megalomania and bad taste.<\/h5>\n

<\/a>In Other Words<\/h3>\n
In other words: the empire of malinvestment, hyperconsumerism, speculation, pseudo-luxury, pollution, and concrete cubes, after having colonized its plains, would now start to desecreate the Ticinese mountains.<\/p>\n
Note this is not a fantasy, a movie, or a mere idea: it is an actual plan, for which the most important aspect (land acquisition) is nearly complete, and for which the appropriate financing is currently being raised.<\/p>\n
And the worst thing is some of our political leaders seem to have already, in secret, given their implicit ascent to such destruction.<\/p>\n
