I wonder how really this system works. Manning's son is getting a house in Santa Margarita and they ask an income of $30,000TT. How many folks in Trinidad make that kind of money? And if they do, how many of them would apply for government housing?

An average house in Trinidad right now cost over a million dollars, no fancy house and no fancy area. If you're lucky enough to have relatives then probably you're living by your granny or auntie and uncle or your parents still. If you don't, then you're taking the pressure of paying a monthly rent along with a HUGE food bill that brings less food every single month.

When is the madness going to stop? When is Manning going to stop saying Trinidad and Tobago is doing well? I guess for a wealthy man like him, things are surely prospering in the land but for the average Joe things couldn't be harder.

Pride is a killer.
