So the Developer is at fault fr not collecting service charges and defaults on clean up responsibility?
Meanwhile the residents sit back and wait for the Government to come and do clean up for them?
And the Port Authority is where in this mess? Other private subdivisions have no problem getting cleaned up. The residents can do for themselves and should!
Sanitation services has the equipment, own the dump, Pool 3 houses together and get a claw truck to come and take your stuff yourself!
Why are we so content to wait for Government to come and do nothing for us?

Because we lazy bad!!! And too many of us would rather live in filth and blame someone/anyone than to clean up our own F'in yard!!! Nasty!

Many times we speak from privilege. I'm guilty of it to at times. We speak to a problem based on our experience. Imagining a solution based on our resources. who's to say that these residents can afford to pay for anything? Imagine if you had to throw everything out your house had no car and everyone in your house was jobless. AND before the storm you weren't making much anyway because the economy was dead. So all the garbage on the lawn, all the cars flooded out and the dump 10 miles away

This looks like a government problem to me

or should we wait for some rat born disease to spread throughout the community?

I suspect if these were attractive white faces we wouldn't jump to the word lazy, we'd be organizing an effort to get a garbage pickup for those poor decent people

White faced people would more thank likely have saved money and would be living within their means and would be able to afford the few hundred dollars to clean their yard of debris.
You think all poor people are poor because of circumstances beyond their control? No. Just like not all white people are rich. But even the old white ladies who worked cashier in a convenience store managed to save some money for retirement.

poverty in MOST cases ESPECIALLY in the Bahamas is inherited and difficult to get out of. White privilege exists. My response was to the automatic assumption that because these people could not remove the garbage themselves they were "lazy". Im confident if they were white faces saying the dxact same thing that wouldnt have been the response, it would have been *well if they asking for help to remove mounds of garbage they must be in dire straights*

I guess we chose door B for the lazy people="rat born diseases"

I am really tired of people just complaining about government being responsible for this. The Port authority is responsible for the cleanup. One would think that Hudson is the only place with debris. have they driven around sunset subdivision, back of town, queens highway?. They can't think they are special. Can they appreciate that the debris is 100s of time more than normal? sanitation had to open a new cell to receive the debris and they have started a third cell in anticipation of needing more space. We have to be patient, these are unusual times.

It is interesting watching the differences in mentality between Grand Bahama and Abaco!

You're so right! The first thing my friends in Hope Town did was get the cutlass and chain saw out (with their kids) to clear a path to the main road. Why? In case of emergency for not only them but for their neighbors. Who did they meet further down their road? Their Hatian/Bahamian neighbor who was doing the exact same thing. Together they cleared half a mile to the main road in a day and then had access to supplies and aid if they needed it.
Seems like too many people on other islands sit in their home and wait for people to come to them and complain 'cause it takin' too long!

This doesn't sound like an effort to clear roadways but a need to truck bulk gargabe away. The woman say water was up to her neck. All transportation is gone and clearing items out a house is EXTREMELY hard and taxing work

Absolutely agree.

*the water was to my neck in my house - that's how high it was. We could not get no rescue and then the sewerage was in the water in your house," she recalled.*

*"We had (a) baby and everything and - we try to go in the manhole but it break down. So, we had to swim through the water. I fall in the water five times and somebody had to come lift me, and tote me, so I would not drown - that's how high the water was. I never seen nothing like this before in my whole life," Ms Davis said*

these stories are incredible...the water rise 5ft...they scramble to the manhole.. the manhole gave way...back in the water fighting for life...incredible. God spare us another test

Meanwhile the dept of Environmental and Health services is spraying for Mosquitoes with Malathion, a toxin, with no public safety announcement to remain indoors with windows closed.
What of people with asthma, and other respiratory ailments, small children etc?
Same as the Government overall, no press releases or public statements to help people help themselves.
