I cannot believe what I am reading. Is this newspaper article legitimate regarding the number of people who have defaulted on their mortgage loans but nevertheless are permitted to remain in their homes with no consequences? The solution to this problem, in my opinion, is quite simple. Just ask any youngster what happens when they neglect to perform their chores. Anyone who is one (1) month in arrears need to negotiate a payment plan and continue with the plan until the loan is paid. Failure to do so should warrant eviction. BMC then needs to find a qualified buyer. Unfortunately home ownership is not for everyone. If the BMC continues to allow clients to remain in their homes rent free if they do not pay their mortgage "sign me up" because I want to live mortgage free too!! Three month in the arrears start ****eviction!**

Before I go ,One more issue **marijuana ** It is my opinion that the Bahamas is usually 10 years behind the USA . Marijuana will be legal in the world in a few years, leaving the Bahamas behind once more. There are so much of our youths who are criminalized for one joint, Where as they could not travel to the USA or get a job on this 7+21 Island, what are they to do other than crime . We should be in the planning mode preparing our country to move forward with the rest of the world. It is inevitable that the Bahamas will eventually legalize it, It is only a matter of time. Legalize and tax taking the money out of it would put a big dent in crime plus help pay off our national debt. Please wake up Bahamas before it is to late. What are we waiting for, 10 years?

It’s sad we all know what is happening with the number houses in the Bahamas. Yet, we take no action to remedy the situation. All talk and no action. A national lottery would benefit everybody, helping pay for public education, scholarships, healthcare and other social services. Our current situation with the number houses only benefits a few. What the hell are we waiting for?!? Please help me understand.

You must ask yourself how could the talks continue after the Bahamas delegate has left.
It is as if the foreign Investors did not want the Bahamas delegates to be apart of the negotiation.I am of the mind set that the Bahamas was sent home to wait for a decision to be made by the Foreign Investors.??????

How is it possible that the building cost would go up more than 100% within one year.from $2.6 million to $5.5 million in one year. Vat of 7.5% on $2.6 million is $195,000.00 +$2.6 million =
$ 2,795,000.00. - $5.500,000.00 = $2,705,000.00 difference in one year. The reason why this is to hide the $2.6 million Mr Hanna has to pay back .$2.6 million for Mr Hanna
$2,900,000.00 to build the building back.We need to get, bids from 3 contractors to show the public where the money is going. Even so, we should not have to pay vat or inflation that should be the responsibility of the contractor. God help us !!!!

The goverment had the report for about 6 month and was reviewed by the board and internal audit and they could not find a clerical error ?. The right thing to do was to turn the report over to the police to investigate and they should give a report. Were is the Attoney General.Minnis found the error with in a week, How?

The way that we operate in the Bahamas. Is that we set up our people to fail. If you are unable to pay $500.00 how in the hell are you going to pay $5000.00. We teach our people do not pay your bill and then we will let you slide. That is why we in the situation were in Know. I can assure you that if you turn off the light at $500.00 they will pay somthing on it to keep it on!!!

Very well said!!! Let us see some action, In force the laws of the land.

We can talk all we want,What we need to do is take action.WE speak about the Good old boy network of the political class.What concern me is that we the public and the police know that this corruption is happening but we take NO action, to hold these people accountable.
What we need is some high profile arrest for taking bribe's while doing the people's business
have them explain how they came about this wealth, and work our way down the line.If you keed ding what you have been doing, you will keep getting what you have been getting.
