The drugs, crime and poverty exists in mainly in the Black community in Schenectady. I visit often.

Other communities are doing well.

I am not passing judgement, just posting what I saw for myself and others posters observed the same.

Caribj is correct.  Schenectady is a hell hole.  People who did not have any opportunities anywhere else moved there hoping for a break to move on with their lives.  They were lured there by dirt cheap property prices.  Many have since moved back to where they came from.

I was there in July, not a hell hole but not  Paradise either.  Many Guyanese are doing just fine. The Guyanese that are there are the Guyanese who are not afraid of hard work, sacrifice,  not on

welfare and dont know the Art of Pickpocket!!!!!!!!

I was in Niskayuna, Schenectady just over a week ago. It is very upscale with excellent schools and facilities. I visit Niskayuna and NYC very often in the Summertime.

It depends where in Schenectady one talks about.

Certain areas are indeed drug and crime infested but those areas are restricted to African American communities which has lost hope and lack economic opportunities.  

Just take a look at few communities in NYC and you get the big picture.

Indo Guyanese on the other hand, are doing quite well by purchasing homes, tearing them down and building beautiful homes. They are slowly but surely changing Schenectady. 

Yes a few have returned to NYC but the NYC lifestyle is quite different than the lifestyle of Schenectady. 

I know someone who owns about 30 homes in Schenectady and has upgraded them and is doing quite well.

As stated before, those who have not visited in a while are speaking nonsense, that place is developing with new buildings, a new casino, new hotels, new businesses etc.

Guyanese are productive and are gainfully employed unlike some African Americans on welfare and living from day to day.

It is a great place for new Immigrants to start with affordable homes. Lots of jobs also exist in the medical facilities etc. Guyanese are gainfully employed and are doing quite well. I saw Guyanese driving very expensive vehicles and they own beautiful homes.

Carib is talking from his rear when he speaks of Guyanese not doing well in Schenectady. He is trying to trash talk Indo Guyanese. He is probably trying rub the filth that African Americans are living under on Guyanese who are doing quite well.

I saw it for my own eyes.

Newark is a hell-hole if you visit the Afro-American community.  Go to Iron bound and North Newark where Portugese and Italians live, different story!!

Tell it like it is Base.

First of all Guyanese were lured to that broken down city by the Guyanese Scam cartel. It is also ridiculous that the 3 or 4 thousand there who took the bait change that place. There are as many other Asians there also and they combined cannot change the place. The city has a population of some 70k. Blacks only make up between 15 to 20 percent of the population.

Again caught in another lie. It was Mayor Albert P. Jurczynski who started luring Guyanese there.

I guess you wish you had a dollar store so you pretend to give me one! At least it is a good wish because it would make tens of time more than you do presently and you do not have to be on a nine to five grind.

I do not have to read any article. I know the crooks who were taking guyanese up there every week end for tours and setting up the deals. Those who live there can affirm what I said. Ask vishnu. He is bald now so there is no risk of  him losing his hair.
