I don't know about that. But HDC still aren't free.

It's heavily subsidized at taxpayers expense though!!

Well this is my concern.....its subsidized housing without a real means test to ensure that cheap MOFO s aint taking advantage...

Drive through some HDC spots and there are obvious signs that the people there are making money.



The system is being abused..which means that people who REALLY deserve being squeezed out.

It is subsidised for those meeting limited income requirements. If their income improve then they can do what they want.

So many times men say why we can't be like Singapore, well 70-80% of their housing is subsidised public housing.

It is subsidized for everyone -

Based on my combined income, I don't qualify for a HDC house but market prices are very tough for me. Young professionals face this challenge and most administrations do nothing about it.

[Dizzy28]

The problem you describe is very real. It is truly unfair to the middle class.
I have personally seen 3 persons with very high means receive and are now renting out HDC houses (two of them received houses when PNM was in power and 1 whilst UNC was in power so it clearly transcends administrations).
My sister in law is also renting an HDC house (well the townhouse types ones) from the owners which means they didn't need it to start with.

WRT Singapore Lee Kuan Yew implemented the subsidized housing for everyone as a motivation for the population in general and the conscripted army specifically that Singapore operates. He felt that someone would have a greater motivation to lay their life on the line for country if they at least had ownership of property within the country.
There is a whole chapter in From Third World to First on their housing policy.

breds I know people in HDC houses......with 800,000 worth of vehicles parked outside....2 vehicles

you know yall talking as if the poorest of the poor only qualify for hdc houses

to qualify for the 2% TTMF rate, you have to be making atleast $5k a month after expenses, you paying HDC/TTMF something like $1800 per month for a town house

if you making between 8k to 12k then you would get 5% rate

You have to have NIS number, BIR number, job letter or pay slip, evidence of savings, police certificate of character, they will do a search that your name isnt on any property etc.


Now all those things can be worked around I guess, but anyone with the above qualifications would also easily be able to qualify for a car loan.......

[Redman]

And we specifically talking about those who obviously don't NEED THE HELP.

[Chimera]

The people who really NEED hdc houses, don't meet the qualifications for it.

The really poor would qualify for the hdc apartments like what maloney and mon repos have

not any house with deed.

[Redman]

Ok I ketch.

[Chimera]

those hdc apartments are the ones that are $1 OR $10 rent a month..something along those lines

No need for all this rumshop talk.The choice is straightforward:

Forty years of PNM with little to no advancement of the general populace along with corruption and mostly the Whites and Indians controlling the lion's share of the money

or

Five years of PP with advances being made in leaps and bounds, the same amount of corruption and the pie divided more equitably.

Never have I seen the black man advance in society, as fast as he has, in the past five years.

Yuh think Conrad Enil will get a Senator position in the PPG government?

Ah see Mariano Brown also questioning the PNM actions of bringing in foreign speakers to criticise your country.

Like he want to jump ship and join Conrad Enil.

#seeingthelight



Anyone heard their address? They clearly didn't research T&T. Sounded like we living in Somalia.

Uml, I think I see the problem.
Criticism does not mean overall support or opposition for any political party. It's completely normal
