Breaking News Alert: Seven years later PLP Government gets a clue on housing!
Finally, the Government takes a page out of the UBP's housing plan and partners with a private developer - in this case the prolific Gilbert Lopes - to build a 90 unit affordable home development (at Loughlands in Paget) for first time homeowners, as announced today by the Housing Minister.
And whose idea was it? Not the Government's. Mr. Lopes approached them. But at least they had the good sense to get out of the way and let someone who has a track record of developing housing take over.
By the way, which developer do you think the UBP had talked to prior to the 2003 election about their First Homes plan? Three guesses and the first two don't count.
