Are the Bermudiana rental units affordable?
Yesterday’s press conference opening the Bermudiana rental units is a typical smoke and mirrors announcement by the PLP . With rental values ranging from $3,000 to $7,000 a month it is hardly going to inspire those in need that this Government is truly capable of helping them.
The truth is this project was disgracefully managed and is indicative of the way this administration makes poor decisions. The project was first designed to be affordable housing many years ago with a hotel also to be built.
Under the PLP the hotel element slipped away completely and now we are left with a white elephant. I hope Bermudians do benefit but this is hardly affordable housing.
I suspect that Lt. Colonel Burch was invited to shoulder the blame for this debacle. Hopefully Minister DeSilva will not allow such expensive projects to proceed under his watch. Bermudians deserve better.
