    Eye of Antigua! Leave it for A.N and we will see right through the government. These houses are lovely! Question is, how easy is it to obtain one of these houses. What’s the process?

    Truly commendable to see the government of Antigua and Barbuda taking proactive steps to tackle the housing crisis. Every Caribbean Island should take on such an initiative, but I figure that a country needs money to get it done. The whole plan to construct hundreds of new homes reflects a genuine commitment to improving living standards for citizens. The prime minister can easily build his home and live in luxury without caring how his countrymen live. But to want comfort for your residents shows a genuine heart. Besides, providing safe and affordable housing is a vital aspect of community development, and these efforts by the PM will undoubtedly make a positive impact on many lives. I need one house too Mr PM.

    Cuss Gaston about the water which he has no control over. Cuss him because he say some mad stuff on social media but when it comes to housing and his revolution, nobody can touch him.

    My only qualm with this is that I wish when they started a house or housing project they would complete it before moving on to a next

    A young persons dream is to have their own home and I believe the government is helping us to realize this dream. Gaston understands what it is to be poor. He has said it before. He is most likely trying to help us dodge the things he went through as a young man. I don’t even support politicans but I am proud to be in a country with this man as leader. Great work Antigua.news
