What Are the Homes Like in Jamaica? A Journey from the UK to Island Elegance

When I was a young boy growing up in the UK in the 1980s and 1990s, the houses around me were uniform and uninspired. Rows of terraced houses stretched endlessly, their brick facades blending into one another like a monotonous sea of grey. The architecture was functional, designed to provide shelter rather than to inspire wonder or joy. It wasn’t until I first set foot in Jamaica that I truly…

The SAWP is a temporary labour program that brings foreign workers to Canada for periods between six weeks and eight months annually [...], paving the way for the recruitment of Jamaican workers as well as workers from other Caribbean countries like Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados [beginning] in 1968. [...] The SAWP has been a resounding success for Canadian growers because offshore indentured workers enable agribusiness to expand and secure large profits. Being indentured means that migrant farm workers are bound to specific employers by contractual agreements [...]. First, they are legally prevented from unionizing. [...] Additionally, because they are bound to specific employers, they must ensure that the employer is happy with them [...]. For instance, migrant farm workers are forced to agree to growers’ requests for long working hours, labour through the weekend, suppress complaints and avoid conflicts, if they want to stay out of “trouble” [...]. In “Canada’s Creeping Economic Apartheid”, Grace Galabuzi shows that the Canadian Government’s immigration policy is, in reality, a labour market immigration policy [...].

A big finding that came out of the oral history interviews was a much richer tapestry of worker protest than has previously been documented. Speaking with workers – including former workers back in their home countries of Jamaica and Barbados – allowed me to hear the types of stories that often don’t make it into archives or newspapers. Interviewees told me stories about wildcat strikes, about negotiating conditions with employers, and also about protesting their home governments’ role in organizing the migrant labour program. [...] [T]hings did not have to be this way; our current world was anything but inevitable. [...] [But] economic forces transformed tobacco farming (and agriculture writ large), [...] leaving mega-operations in their wake. [...] [L]arge operations could afford [...] bringing in foreign guestworkers. The attraction of foreign workers was not due to labour shortages, but instead in their much higher degree of exploitability, given the strict nature of their contracts and the economic compulsion under which they pursued overseas migrant labour. [...] Ontario’s tobacco belt (located in between Hamilton and London, on the north shore of Lake Erie), was from the 1920s to 1980s one the most profitable sectors in Canadian agriculture and the epicentre of migrant labour in the country [...]. In most years, upwards of 25,000 workers were needed to bring in the crop. [...]

Jamaican agricultural workers say they face conditions akin to “systematic slavery” on Canadian farms, as they call on Jamaica to address systemic problems in a decades-old, migrant labour programme in Canada. In a letter sent to Jamaica’s minister of labour and social security earlier this month [August 2022], workers [...] said they have been “treated like mules” on two farms in Ontario, Canada’s most populous province. [...] The workers [...] are employed under [...] (SAWP), which allows Canadian employers to hire temporary migrant workers from Mexico and 11 countries in the Caribbean [...]. “We work for eight months on minimum wage and can’t survive for the four months back home. The SAWP is exploitation at a seismic level. Employers treat us like we don’t have any feelings, like we’re not human beings. We are robots to them. They don’t care about us.” Between 50,000 and 60,000 foreign agricultural labourers come to Canada each year on temporary permits [...]. Canada exported more than $63.3bn ($82.2bn Canadian) in agriculture and food products in 2021 – making it the fifth-largest exporter of agri-food in the world. [...]

In my home country, St. Lucia, we believe in a fair day’s pay [...]. In Canada, we give more than a fair day’s work, but we do not get a fair day’s pay. [...] I worked in a greenhouse in [...] Ontario, growing and harvesting tomatoes and organic sweet peppers for eight months of the year, from 2012 to 2015. [...] In the bunkhouse where I lived, there were typically eight workers per room. Newly constructed bunkhouses typically have up to fourteen people per room. [...] I also received calls from workers (especially Jamaicans) who were either forbidden – or strongly discouraged – from leaving the farm property. This outrageous overreach of employer control meant that workers had difficulty sending money home, or buying necessary items [...]. [O]n a lot of farms, [...] workers’ movement and activity is policed by their employers. The government knows about this yet fails to act.

The CSAWP is structured in such a way as to exclude racialized working class others from citizen-track entry into the country while demarcating them to a non-immigrant status as temporary, foreign and unfree labourers. The CSAWP is [...] a relic of Canada’s racist and colonial past, one that continues unimpeded in the present age [...]. [T]he Canadian state has offered a concession to the agricultural economic sector in the way of an ambiguous legal entity through which foreign agricultural workers are legally disenfranchised and legally denied citizenship rights.

Good morning!  I hope you slept well and feel rested?  Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day.

Welcome to Throwback Thursday.  On this page, TT is all about memories triggered by words.  So, what memory is triggered by the word ‘FATHER-IN-LAW’? 

Unfortunately, I lost my father-in-law on Tuesday.  I’ve been to Jamaica three times.  Two funerals and one wedding.  We’ll be going back to Jamaica soon for another funeral.  Sounds like a Hugh Grant film!  Three funerals and a wedding!  We’ll shed a few tears, I’m sure, but The Trouble’s family are boss, so we’ll have a few laughs … and probably a few drinks too!    

I’ve got two abiding memories of my father-in-law.  Mr. Patterson didn’t want his only children (two girls) moving out to live with their boyfriends, so he allowed the boyfriends to move into HIS house.  That way, he knew exactly where his daughters were.  So, the old man let me live in The Trouble’s bedroom until we could afford our first flat.  He didn’t give me ‘the talk’.  In fact, he didn’t say a thing.  He didn’t really know me but he knew his girls well, and he knew they wouldn’t be entertaining just anybody.  He trusted their judgement, so he figured I was a good investment.

My second significant memory of him was during lockdown.  He was stuck here in England because he couldn’t get a flight back to Jamaica.  So, there we were: the four of us, locked down in the house.  The old man used to call Jamaica frequently and tell anyone that would listen that he was anxious to get ‘home’ but, secretly, I think he enjoyed his time with us.  The Trouble liked having him around because he was builder, so he could do odd jobs, and I liked having around because he was a good cook!  He used to make me Saturday Soup sometimes twice a week, he would make me oxtail and butter beans and, because I’m spoilt rotten, he would make me Guinness Punch as well.  Me and my belly will miss him.

So, on this Throwback Thursday, what memories does the word ‘FATHER-IN-LAW’ trigger for you?

Have a throbbing and thrusting Thursday (with hopefully a few thrills through your thoroughfare?)  I love you all.

Chapter Twenty-Five

Chloe went to sleep thinking how different her life was about to be and Beth thought about how different things would be without Chloe around all the time. The wedding was two days away and Chloe was having second thoughts. She couldn’t talk to Beth, she would tell her to call it off, she hated Michael. She would talk to Edith when she got home. She finally went to sleep about 3AM. When the sun came up she wasn’t ready to be up, so she pulled the drapes tightly shut and went back to bed. Beth woke her at 9:00.

“Hey sleepy head, we have to eat something and get checked out today. Time to get up.”

“Uhhhh, already? Alright I’m going.” Chloe replied.

“Yeah I see that, only at the speed of a turtle walking through peanut butter,” they both laughed and Chloe sat up.

She went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth and hair. Put on just a bit of makeup, mostly eyeliner and blush with a little lip gloss. Then she gathered up the last of her stuff and put it in her makeup bag and put it in the suitcase. She was now ready. She got out of the bathroom and Beth had ordered them breakfast.

“Oh great, breakfast, I’m starving!” said Chloe.

“The last time we order room service, this time anyway, I’ll make sure we do this again.” She said.

“Are you ready to go back to work after having so much time off helping me with the wedding and being in the wedding?” Chloe asked Beth.

“It will be hard but yeah, I miss everyone and my routine. You know just normal life again.” Beth said.

“Are you excited about Jamaica for your honeymoon?” Beth asked Chloe.

“Oh gosh yes! I’ve never hardly been outside this little bitty town or county so it will be amazing! I’ll send pics to you!” Chloe exclaimed.

There was a knock at the door. Beth answered and saw it was the Porter coming for their bags.

“Can you go ahead a take those and we’ll be right down?” Chloe said.

Chloe looked at Beth and told her;

“Thank you for the most incredible weekend away. I know you saved and sacrificed a lot to do this for me and I’m so grateful. I don’t know how I’ll ever pay you back. I love you.” Chloe said.

“Now stop that, you’ll make my makeup run,” she chuckled. “I enjoyed the weekend and I don’t expect too be paid back. It was my pleasure to be able to do it for you. I love ya to. I suppose we better get going to they will think we are refusing to leave the room.” Beth said laughing.

They left the room, went and paid they hotel bill and waited for the car to be brought around. Sure was nice being pampered Chloe thought. Chloe drove this time letting Beth sit and read. She usually read in the car. As they were driving Chloe pulled something out of her pocket. It was a ring box. She handed it to Beth.

“Go ahead open it. “She said.

Beth untied the ribbon and opened the box.

“Chloe! You didn’t!” Beth exclaimed

“When we were looking at gifts for everyone I saw you eyeing that ring but I knew you couldn’t afford it. It’s my way of saying thank you.”

Beth stared at it. It was a tanzanite stone with 3 diamonds on each side. It was so shiny and it sparkled in the sunlight.

“Well, try it on to see if it fits.” Chloe said.

Beth put it on and it was a bit large.

“That’s okay. Mr Holmes at the jewelry store can size it for you. We’ll drop it off when we get in town.” Chloe said.

“Thanks Chloe,” Beth beamed at her ring,

The closer they got to home the more Chloe wanted to run back to the resort. What was going on? Was it what Hope had told her about her getting abused or was it just wedding jitters? She almost felt sick. How was she going to keep this from Michael?

“Beth, do you think I should tell Michael about Hope coning up here?”

“That’s the worst thing you can do! He’ll go nuts and you know it. We don’t know if she was telling the truth and maybe he would go after her. It’s better to leave well enough alone. What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.”

“Okay, maybe you’re right. No need to stir up a hornets nest I guess.”

They reached home around 4:00 that evening simply because they drug out the vacation a bit longer and hit some small antique shops along the way and stopped for lunch. When they got back into Maple Falls the first thing they did was drop off Beth’s ring at the jewelry store to be sized correctly. Then they headed home. When Chloe felt torn about seeing Michael. She wished Hope had never found her at the hotel. Now her head is full of nonsense. They grabbed their bags and the gifts and went inside.

“It was getting late. We were so worried when you weren’t home at noon like you said.” Edith said ringing her hands like she always did when she was uptight about something.

“I should have called, I’m sorry. We went to some antique shops on the way home. I didn’t mean to worry you.” said Chloe

“Nor did I.” said Beth.

They put their bags as down and they hugged both Edith and Bob.

“And I was just started to enjoy the peace and quiet around here.” Bob said laughing.

Edith smacked him in the back of the head with a couch pillow.

“Oh you, just be nice now.” Edith said

Bob gave Edith a kiss and said;

“There’s your smack back you beautiful old woman.”

“Oh you’re such an old fart, but thank you for the compliment dear,” Edith said.

The girls enjoyed listening to these two when they went on like this. They figured it was their way of showing love. Didn’t matter why, it was fun to watch.

There was a knock at the door. It was Michael. He had a bouquet of red roses for Chloe. The card said I missed you.

“These are beautiful Michael but you didn’t need to.”said Chloe.

“It’s the southern gentleman in me. I wanted to welcome the love of my life home.“ He kissed her. “I missed ya honey.”

“Beth and I are also in the giving mood. We bought each of you a gift while we were away. Edith here’s yours. You open yours first.” Chloe said.

Both of the girls were hoping she would like the bracelet. Edith unwrapped the paper and untied the box and opened it. She was stunned.

“You girls, it’s beautiful but you probably spent to much on me. But I love it. Oh look it has my initial on it,” she beamed with joy. “It’s simple and I like that.” She thanked them both and hugged them.

“Go ahead and let Bob open his next,” said Michael. “I can wait.” So Beth gave Bob his gift.

“We’ll it sure is darn heavy. Y’all gave me rocks didn’t ya?”

They all laughed and told him to just open it for heavens sake. He ripped it open finally and his face lit up.

“Well, would ya looky here Edith! I got my own whiskey decanter. And by George it’s got my initials on it. I don’t have to pour from a bottle, I’m rich now,” he laughed. “I love it and the glasses. This weekend we can all play cards and use them,” he said proudly.

Then Chloe had to give Michael his gift and she wasn’t sure he would like it. She handed the small box to him and bit her lip.

“Chloe stop biting your lip please it doesn’t look good and I don’t like it.” Michael scolded her. She quickly quit.

He opened his gift and read the back of it.

“Michael, you are the love of my life, my soulmate, forever Chloe .”

“I have never had a pocket watch but it’s very dressy looking. I love it darling. Thank you very much.” He said.

Edith jumped in, “I hate to break all this up but y’all are getting married in two days. There is stuff to do. So we need to get busy.” She said.

“Not another word, I’m on my way and will give you ladies time to do lady things.” He kissed Chloe goodbye and left.

They sat and figured last minute menus with the catering crew. As well as seating arrangements. The ladies were busy ironing all the table cloths and napkins. Bob and some friends were pitting up streamers for the dance and balloons in different shades of purple. By this time it was late and no one had eaten and they were tired. Then Bob walked in with bags from the diner.

“Miss Amy at the diner had the cook make up some burgers and fries for us. She knew we were working on all late tonight.” Bob said setting down the bags,. Boy it smelled good.

They were all so tired that they ate in complete silence. All Chloe could think about was her bed. When they were done eating Beth and Chloe cleaned up the bags and then they all went to bed. Tomorrow will be an even busier day I’m sure.

Understanding the Kingston Housing Market

When looking to buy a home in Jamaica, particularly in Kingston, it's essential to understand the dynamics of the Kingston housing market. Kingston is known for its vibrant culture, economic opportunities, and desirable living conditions, making it a sought-after location for many. The housing market here can be competitive, with a range of options from luxury apartments to modest family homes. Prices can vary significantly depending on the neighborhood, amenities, and proximity to key areas.

One of the first steps in navigating the Kingston housing market is to determine your budget. This will help narrow down your options and make the search process more manageable. Additionally, working with a local real estate agent who has in-depth knowledge of the market can provide valuable insights and assistance in finding the best residential area that suits your needs. Understanding the market trends, average property prices, and the demand for specific types of housing can also help you make an informed decision.

It's also important to consider the long-term investment potential of the property you are interested in. Kingston's real estate market has shown steady growth over the years, making it a promising area for property investment. Whether you are looking to buy a home in Jamaica for personal use or as an investment, understanding the Kingston housing market is crucial to making a wise decision.

Moving to Kingston: What You Need to Know

Moving to Kingston can be an exciting adventure, but it's important to be well-prepared. Kingston is the capital city of Jamaica and offers a unique blend of urban living with a touch of natural beauty. Before making the move, consider factors such as the cost of living, the availability of essential services, and the overall lifestyle that Kingston offers.

One of the key considerations when moving to Kingston is finding the right neighborhood. Each area has its own distinct character and amenities, so it's crucial to choose one that aligns with your lifestyle and preferences. Whether you're looking for a bustling urban environment or a quieter suburban setting, Kingston has something to offer for everyone.

Additionally, it's important to familiarize yourself with the local culture and customs. Kingston is known for its rich cultural heritage, vibrant music scene, and delicious cuisine. Embracing the local culture can help you feel more at home and make the transition smoother. It's also helpful to connect with local expat communities and social groups to build a support network and get insider tips on living in Kingston.

When moving to Kingston, it's also essential to consider the logistics of the move. This includes arranging for the transportation of your belongings, finding temporary accommodation if needed, and ensuring that all necessary paperwork and documentation are in order. Being well-prepared can help make the move to Kingston a positive and stress-free experience.

Kingston Public Transport: Navigating the City

Transportation is a vital aspect to consider when choosing a residential area in Kingston. The city has a well-developed public transport system that includes buses, taxis, and minibuses, making it relatively easy to get around. The Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) operates an extensive bus network that covers most parts of the city, providing an affordable and convenient mode of transportation.

For those who prefer driving, Kingston's road infrastructure is generally well-maintained, though traffic congestion can be an issue during peak hours. It's also worth noting that some neighborhoods are more pedestrian-friendly than others, so if you enjoy walking or cycling, you may want to consider areas with good sidewalks and bike lanes.

Another option for getting around Kingston is using ride-sharing services, which have become increasingly popular in recent years. These services offer a convenient and often cost-effective alternative to traditional taxis. Additionally, some neighborhoods have easy access to major highways and thoroughfares, making commuting to other parts of the city or the island more convenient.

When evaluating public transport options, it's also important to consider the proximity of your potential home to public transport hubs and routes. Living near a bus stop or a major transport route can make daily commuting more convenient and reduce travel time. Overall, understanding the public transport options in Kingston can help you choose a residential area that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

Exploring Kingston Housing Options

Kingston offers a diverse range of housing options to cater to different preferences and budgets. Whether you're looking for a luxury condo, a spacious family home, or a cozy apartment, you'll find plenty of choices in the city. Some of the best condos near Kingston are located in areas like New Kingston, Liguanea, and Barbican, offering modern amenities and convenient access to key locations.

For those who prefer a more suburban lifestyle, neighborhoods such as Stony Hill, Red Hills, and Havendale provide a peaceful environment with larger homes and more green spaces. Additionally, there are gated communities and townhouses available for those seeking added security and a sense of community. These areas often have amenities such as swimming pools, parks, and recreational facilities, making them ideal for families.

Another popular housing option in Kingston is renting. Renting can be a more flexible and affordable option, especially for those who are new to the city or are not yet ready to commit to buying a home. There are many rental properties available, ranging from budget-friendly apartments to high-end luxury rentals. Working with a local real estate agent can help you find the best rental options that meet your needs and budget.

It's also important to consider the long-term maintenance and upkeep of the property. Some housing options, such as condos and townhouses, may have homeowners' association (HOA) fees that cover maintenance and amenities. Understanding these costs and responsibilities can help you make an informed decision and choose a housing option that fits your lifestyle and financial situation.

Understanding Kingston Crime Rates

Safety is a top priority when choosing a residential area, and understanding Kingston's crime rates is essential. While Kingston, like any major city, has areas with higher crime rates, there are also many safe and secure neighborhoods. It's important to research and gather information about the crime statistics in different areas to make an informed decision.

Working with a local real estate agent can provide valuable insights into the safety of various neighborhoods. Additionally, speaking with residents and visiting the areas at different times of the day can help you get a better sense of the security and overall atmosphere of the neighborhood.

It's also helpful to look into the presence of neighborhood watch programs and community policing initiatives. These programs can contribute to a safer environment and foster a sense of community among residents. Some neighborhoods may also have gated entrances and security patrols, providing an added layer of security.

When evaluating crime rates, it's important to consider both property crimes and personal safety. Researching local news sources and crime reports can provide a comprehensive understanding of the safety of different areas. Ultimately, choosing a residential area with low crime rates and a strong sense of community can help ensure a safe and comfortable living environment.

Evaluating Amenities and Community Aspects

Apart from the basic factors like housing options and safety, other amenities and community aspects play a crucial role in choosing the best residential area in Kingston. Consider the proximity to schools, hospitals, shopping centers, parks, and recreational facilities. Having essential services and amenities nearby can significantly enhance your quality of life.

Moreover, the sense of community and neighborhood culture are important factors to consider. Some areas may have active community groups, events, and social gatherings that can help you feel more connected and engaged with your neighbors. It's worth exploring these aspects to ensure that the neighborhood aligns with your lifestyle and preferences.

For families with children, the availability of quality schools and childcare facilities is a key consideration. Kingston has a range of educational institutions, including public and private schools, as well as international schools that offer various curricula. Proximity to good schools can make daily routines more convenient and provide children with access to quality education.

Healthcare facilities are another important aspect to consider. Having hospitals, clinics, and medical centers nearby can provide peace of mind and ensure that you have access to essential healthcare services. Kingston has several reputable healthcare facilities, making it a convenient location for medical care.

Shopping and entertainment options are also important factors to consider. Kingston has a variety of shopping centers, markets, restaurants, and entertainment venues, offering a vibrant and dynamic lifestyle. Being close to these amenities can make daily life more enjoyable and convenient.

Conclusion

Choosing the best residential area in Kingston for your needs requires careful consideration of various factors, including the housing market, transportation, safety, amenities, and community aspects. By doing thorough research and seeking assistance from local experts, you can make an informed decision that will lead to a comfortable and fulfilling living experience in Kingston.

Under current conditions favourable for tourism development, the market for rentals is projected to expand further.
