All I know is that if I were homeless and came across an obviously abandoned home or patch of land, I would be forced to take advantage of that opportunity. Pure survival. But I would also try to plan for the future. Maybe JA will resort to FEMA type camps to segregate the Have Not (yets) from the Haves.
I know many local jams who have no family to go to .//I dont blame them if they see a piece of un-used land that they can put up some zinc for a roof and some boards for the sides so at least they have the most basic human need"SHELTER" out of the rain, cold, heat,sun..a place to lay there head..that being said they also are all well aware that at anytime the govt or owners can come along and mash up the place..in the mean time though there doing what anyone of us would do: that is to make do with what you have to work with...thats how Jams survive....(remember-Jam has NO safety for its underprivileged people-the Govt could care less) ...as far as taking over peoples physical structures..and then refusing to leave on top of that...yeah -i can see where anyone would be upset (including myself) ..As someone posted there are diff types of squatting...but i feel the ones that were moved out of Negril were the ones I stated above...a place for some shelter...Originally Posted by goldilocks

For the record. Rob is one of my groupies. Not the other way around.
Westender, this is a public message board, anyone can read or quote from it.
"... and my thoughts although not made clear I meant that they were cowards for choosing a small scale settlement as a quick win." Thank you for adding that (yes it sucks to have to be so specific with our words but it helps when we are).
This is almost worth the price of the admission!
. . . westender, it is crazyness to argue with all of these peeps . . .
? Bathrooms ? If none right alone the river = flow into the sea ...relocation is the best option for everyone's health sake.
Gail, were they relocated? I'm hoping that is the case instead kicking them out just so they find another illegal home.
Rob,
I need a face to face meeting, please send a plane ticket!
"I am always up for a face to face meeting, but out of all the times that I have heard people say that, less than 2% have ever done that. It is interesting how powerful people feel when they are anonymous on the internet. I am not anonymous - when you get to Negril, ask anyone where Rob with the internet can be found..."
How would you feel if you went to Negril on vacation and when you came home someone had moved into your home or built a shanty on your property when you were gone ?
