Well there are some ‘old’ and ‘not so young’ people who are also in housing crisis. A crisis that began in 2008 and saw middle income families being kicked out of their homes after paying years and year of mortgages. And despite efforts, government could not save those homes. And if the truth be told, many families, many Bahamian families are only still in their homes because banks and mortgage companies are not to anxious to put them out and have the house sit vacant and get vandalized or deteriorate. This works in favor of the homeowner either by giving them time to catch up on the mortgage or to find somewhere to go. And imagine some landlords who have a mortgage and have two, three four or more tenants who are months behind on their rent. The government said give them nine months. But most of them will bail out and try find another apartment rather than trying to catch up on$7, $8, $9 Thousand in rent arrears. So the landlords are screwed.

if he has a year to shut down, he also has a year to find a buyer. Standards have to be maintained

Minnis is correct. It is very difficult for young professionals to get a start in this country and even much more difficult for the average and less than average young person. Not only do they have to deal with the economic part of it but they must deal with crime and the social part of the situation. Recently young people have started to move to Canada, after Trump closed the doors to that country to certain people. Well several persons who use to work in the hotel industry here are working in the restaurant business in Canada. They lived in the inner city here because even though their job paid well here, other family members were not so fortunate. So in Canada several of them get together and rent houses, no, not apartments, upscale houses, with all the amenities. But they could not do it here because of the scarcity of housing and limited jobs. Even middle income families have a difficult time making ends meet.. surprising to know the number of homes that have disconnected their cable and internet and even have to go from time to time without electricity. and expect the cost of living to climb even more as what is described as 'the worst drought since 1976" hits the western US. Farmers are losing millions of acres of crops and having to scale down herds because of high temperatures and water shortages.

Mad Dr. Anthony Fauci says to those who are pointing the fingers at him to, 'Blame the science and not (him).' Well the science told Fauci the experiments he was doing were extremely dangerous and a threat to world population and authorities ordered he should cease and desist and further research. But he used his influence to continue his work or foreign soil (not wanting to put American lives at risk, well so he thought. So guess why there's so much hype about getting everyone to take the vaccines..but will it be enough?

about just as much percentage as the US, yes or no? The mad man Fauci was warned and ordered to STOP doing what he was doing with Corona viruses..but o no..no..and looka now

But the US still has the highest number of recorded cases (and deaths worldwide) And mostly due to a president who waited too late to take the virus seriously and a Chief Health Advisor who is proving to be both dishonest and complicit. Bet you dont'; know why they want everyone to take the vaccine.

finger pointing? Does not the people of The Bahamas have to pay the Great United States for having pre-clearance facilities here.. Stop licking Uncle Sam's boots, and foot kissing.

So what if the speaker found out a certain government employee was gay or white?

The idiots who try to make an issue about this man having 13 children or being in the bar, rather than at least acknowledge the fact that he lost his life in cold blood. Thirteen children is not unusual for a Bahamian family, especially one living on a Family Island, where they would most likely have a farm or fishing business and children would be considered an economic asset rather than a liability. It was something taught by the slave masters, " the more you breed, the less slaves I have to buy,' And when Black peoples were set free, the only thing most of them had was the clothes on their backs. So if they managed to aquire a piece of land then they had to create a labor force to farm it. And those who continued to work on 'slave' plantations could also send their children to work and earn a small income. And that is how they progressed to buuild a home and get other earthly possessions. And with 13 children, don't you think the man deserves a drink.

The US is having similar problems with its Southern border and people are also losing their lives trying to enter the United States. Smugglers are dropping young children over 14-foot walls and leaving them with nothing but a phone number. Many are not only trying to escape the violence and hardships in their own countries, but the lure of an easier life and an economy that is expected to boom with a $15 minimum wage it too much to resist, But it is not only human smuggling on the increase, but drug smuggling is also on the rise. Maybe the absence and the fear of Donald Trump, makes smugglers more brave and bold,
