You should do a thesis on that!! Go ask your PNC buddies for help, they administered Guyana for 28 years during which both Tiger Bay and Lombard street were the armpits of the nation!!
You are a stupid man. We are discussing the failure of programs to make a difference these past two decades that were funded. The PNC did not have a pot to piss in during their regime. Western governments were liberal with their funding the past two decades. Add to that we were supposed to be in a democracy vs a dictatorship.
The reality is that these people were failed by respective regimes for whatever reasons. I means the current regime has a five decades history of failure to reflect on and must do it right. Again, even arm pits need to be hygienic. This regime must focus a disproportionate effort to remedy these hell holes in the City. There are less than three hundred families so the scope is not outside their ability to do.
Listen you clown, don't cherry-pick your time period and try to pin it on the "coolie" man. The story of Lombard Street and Tiger bay with their [Afro] whore houses and criminal gangs are as old as Guyana's history. I'm sure some people made it out to normalcy, but the grunts remain and continue to attract like-minded recruits.
If Granger want's to change things, let him build houses far away from that area, break up the posse, bulldoze and sell off the land for commercial development. No amount of intervention will make a difference, they are an entity and life-style onto themselves. They are comfortable in those squalor!
