Voice from the Street - NHT Funding Inner City

[Muadib]

for the Nation or for those that have contributed to the Fund ???

[Islandman]

To provide affordable housing for the nation

[Muadib]

What is the purpose of the NHT ???

[Islandman]

So they must continue to live in zinc shacks with no plumbing?

If they do not qualify for a loan how about charging them some rent?

[Bricktop]

Her constituency isn't the only one getting housing...those that are working should be contributing to NHT and will be eligible for a loan...why is my contribution being used to build housing for those who are not working?

[Islandman]

Are you suggesting that nobody in her constituency works or has ever worked?

Is her constituency the only one getting housing? At any rate The people in her constituency are going to vote for her regardless of whether they continue to live in zinc shacks or they get better housing.

[Bricktop]

So we, who are working, must fund Portia's re-election campaign?

[Islandman]

"Dem people deh nuh need nuh more house..." Sigh...

You can hear the "them" vs "us" in most of those responses. And we wonder how people of other races are so prejudiced? We do a pretty good job being prejudiced against our own people.
