Brilliant comment. If the buildings arent historical they need to buy them out and build new upscale apartments and good security, that's how gentrification starts.
Downtown need skyscrapers? One step at a time first we need a good water system, second a good fire service, third two new hospitals around Kingston to take the pressure of KPH then we can thing about building skyscrapers
Just returned last week. So happy with the development downtown. Have been to the seaside restaurants. Great food. It was so good to sea people from all walks of life dining together. Great job UDC
Not too sure about the schools... the birth rate is declining steadily so the new enrolment to schools are also declining. The currents schools are not so over crowded as they once were. Please check statin to see Jamaica demographic trends.
heru333 you sound like a child.What purpose do skyscraper serve? Build skyscraper and do not have correct infrastructure and that is a recipe for disaster. Image a fire with not the correct equipment or trucks.
Andre Cunningham thanks for your comments..pleass note the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Building is 11 floors... Also remember our geo-vulnerabilities and location in the Western Hemisphere when considering taller buildings
UDC TV Jamaica 11 floors building won't attract investment..... Every nation needs to have a bold direction for development, instead of mediocrity......🤔
UDC TV Jamaica I am tired of ppl talking about geo vulnerability yet other Caribbean like Dominican republic and Trinidad build skyscrspers and are in the same region
How can *Jamaica* allow *Trinidad and Tobago* waterfront to be more appealing than ours.... Stop being conservative and lure the right investors for some skyscrapers.... *"If you build, they (investors) will come"* 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🤔
@@waynemcfarlane1233 Jamaica has a lot of money to spend as well, don't be fooled. The so called leaders just lack vision & the political will to do what needs to be done
I like young ambitious articulate young black men like these, I feel confident that his trajectory will be realized, I was dumb struck to hear a young man speaking about these development which he obviously think is too good for, and I quote, ''such a poor Country'' the years of PNP and this socialism, love the poor ,mentality has screwed up the minds of many of our young black men that they come on social media berating development, the person in question said he is ashamed of these developments, since he thinks they will all be done by the Chinese who wants to export the Island of Jamaica to China, I had to ask him how come he is not a shamed of the squalid Ghettoization and general anarchic situation of the City, they seem to believe that Jamaica cannot arise from the status of ''such a poor Country as Articulated by that young man, young men like you ''above '' gives me hope.
Sade Fisher my name is Bruce Davis a Jamaican living abroad hoping to return some day I never voted for the j l p but I like Andrew holiness am just asking the rest of is team be focused don't be like most old time politicians .set up jamaica a first world standards we deh
Dr. Graham isn't as young as he looks. I've had the pleasure of meeting him when he was at Jamaica producers. He has worked in a lot of different industries.
Change the environment you change the peoples mind..... downtown needs this kind of development and jobs.... get the youths productively occupied and crime will decrease.... this is a community effort .... everyone should be involved.
First and foremost they will have moved the people out of those garrisons that Seaga and Manley institutionalized back in the 1970s. All of it has to go:Coronation Market; Tivoli Garden; Matthews Lane; Southside;Tel-a-viv etc. Only then will downtown Jamaica will be restored.
My God, you stole my thunder. Coronation market is a dump that attracts the worst. Fix it up or move it and manage it properly. A lot of those zinc fences and old houses must go and employ 100 more police men.
I would love to see this take place. As some of the people chatting shit on here not putting their hands in their pocket to help build Jamaica up. We need a start and maybe, just maybe, we can then take our asses home and help and stop the chatting. No negativity needed. Keep it positive.
As for why we need skyscrapers, future development. Are we going to knock down these buildings when to build skyscrapers when they could have been built now. They also save space which is a good thing.
terry diomande I'm gonna say this and it has nothing to do with politics,I would bulldoze Tivoli and every garrison community within Kingston and St.Andrew,the most things these neighborhoods produce is crime.
Andre Cunningham Amen to that my brother, I've been saying it forever. Jamaica lives mediocre, meanwhile Trinidad and Tobago loves going big.... Trinidad has five towers over 24 floors each. So why our government not competing with them.....🤔
