Watch this before you build

[@carolmartin1587]

Thanks Thorp for bringing out these Public Officials out of their offices to answer questions that are important and normally not addressed

[@Calison-ln3nw]

Great to see the tourism industry doing well, but at some point Jamaica needs to start thinking about diversification. Not everything need to be about that sector. We speak about residential housing, but like everything else, it's spoken only in terms of providing accommodation for the tourism market.

[@phillyyardyvibes808]

We can’t allowed to be turned in to a plantation. At this rate , we are well on our way to be one

[@MyMy-c6m2b]

Well said. Those Chinese want to build these elaborate buildings . Those are going to block other current residents views. Just ridiculous. I don't want to visit Jamaica from NYC and go see a bunch of hi rises in residential living areas. That interrupts the breeze, the views and messes up the ambiance.

[@phillyyardyvibes808]

Very well stated, I have been echoing same sentiment. We cannot allow ourselves to become All Inclusive plantation. At least The Bahamas and Barbados who tested in tourism as well, have a more livable wages and better infrastructures as well. Which may be the cause of better wages

[@MyMy-c6m2b]

Oh and guess what?????the Jamaica Tourism board doesn't even bank in Jamaica so that revenue is not adding to Jamaica's gross revenue.

[@kuyahkudey3217]

Kudos to you Throp for they great job you are doing to help develop Negril. Negril is so worthy of the successful development it is about to have.

[@chrisstopher638]

You Must have Building Regulations set in place this is a simple matter to fix all your building Companies need to be registered and regulated, through a government ministerial office not the minister of his Office....

[@kendgabe822]

I really enjoyed the video, it was very informative and answers questions that I had but was unsure of how to get the answers. I am an American, with no family ties to Jamaica but love the country. I plan to buy land somewhere in Jamaica in the next couple years. I was thinking of maybe just get a piece of land next year and go from there, but my goodness, I’ve learned I’ll be purchasing a house for sure - almost or already built!! My mind was definitely made up after this video. Thanks again. I find your videos beyond helpful and reduces the stress and research of buying from Foreign.

It is so great to see Jamaica getting a lot of construction projects I hope the Jamaican government is going to put more investment only for the jamaican people and also try to bring back people like myself who is part of the Jamaican diaspora to come back to the nation and invest as well🇯🇲

[@MontegoBayTechTalk]

They just had the Jamaica Diaspora Conference June 17-19. Did you attend? The whole point of it was teaching out to Jamaicans overseas. They are doing what you're saying. Houses for Jamaican citizens are being built all over the island by the National Housing Trust, but demand is far higher than supply. You can see the developments they have coming on the NHT website.

[@risetv1]

be careful because many islands have been destroyed by mass building. Malta, singapore. They are more mini cities rather than relaxing islands of beauty. jamaicas pull is the natural beauty.

[@Calison-ln3nw]

If we were to develop other industries outside of tourism, we would not be restricted to Negril with its limited space to put up needed housing. Jamaica need to start the process of formally developing specific sectors in various areas throughout Jamaica, accompanied with appropriate accommodations. As an example, a Textile sector in Sav-la-mar, a Tech sector in Mandeville and so forth.

[@SlangScientist]

Bossy...government is not the primary creator of sectors. That's the people's job to create with the gov't support.

[@kendgabe822]

10000% agree. Wonder how one can push to make this happen

[@Wrathofreason]

Get off the Internet and create something.b

[@JohnnyJohnson-v7m]

Investigation of ganja proceeds in new mexico,California, Colorado has generated $10 billion usd in taxation in last 3 yrs.,why isn't j.a.,government not exporting ganja brand j.a.,on a global basis??,$$$😅

[@PeterLawrence_]

Because there is a ganja cartel

[@lwjunior2]

Will the Government simplify the process and create a one stop shop?

[@sandraruncie4351]

Very valuable information....

[@cartubdetailing]

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.

[@bobmarley9835]

Great show. How does one get into collaboration with a bank regarding building a housing scheme ?

[@JohnnyJohnson-v7m]

😊😅😮,I invision a j.a. where everyone has a home property, 🏡,safety, health, job,crime free,peace,love,& since of prosperity,

[@damionscott8215]

Good question jamaica need to exports bamboo

[@PeterLawrence_]

I totally agree

[@jsnmad]

It's long but a very informative video.

[@JohnnyJohnson-v7m]

Ganja wxports revenue can also finane a bauxite smelter, which cost$1.5 billion usd, to build,but geothermal energy can also smelt bauxite, tourism brings in$2 billion annually but isn't trickling down to the poor for housing 😢

[@alicesheppy1117]

It's about building communities

[@mesandz2623]

Why is the realtor allowed to take over And seeking what’s seems personal info. Presenter to direct the audience!

[@carlonbarrett8697]

Jamaica have world renown architect Gordon Gill why he don’t develop a city in each town of Jamaica

[@anitarahiman3092]

Building Future Generational Wealth too

[@gracefullygraceful9776]

Blueprint? represents building regs challenges and downfalls?

[@chrisstopher638]

When you say Government Land do you mean the Crown,because if we the People appoint our Government then why is it not deemed to be Common Land??? I want the Answer anyone???

[@FloydBrooks]

Jamaica is captured land. The government represents England. Not the commoners.

[@JohnnyJohnson-v7m]

Ganja is a cash crop,that generates $ billion in taxation, j.a. is blessed with 4 growing seasons,the 4th is indoor gardening, ganja creates jobs,which reduces crime,export revenue,like u.s. Colorado, these $ can build homes for everyone 😂

[@haronrobinson7422]

What??????

[@andycyrusac]

Does the government agency have a better person to explain the process? This girl is bumb.

[@griiem]

Honestly this first interview 2:00 is useless. How can government be rezoning an area and yet information about the plans remain so walled in? This is a feel good interview not much substance… what can potential investors do with “nice changes”?

[@Throp]

I disagree. There is tactical information given in this in this presentation about zoning, height restrictions, density ratios and compliance. If you know everything already then I can see how this might be useless to you. Yes the future building regulations may not have been reveled yet but it should stop you from investing and development if you see an opportunity. Remember the best time to invest in real estate is 5 years ago
