      I concur! I was just in S Africa and a lot of what I heard on media, its quite the opposite while i was there. The people are kind, helpful, intelligent and overall mannered. I notice the same trend about Jamaica and many territories occupied by mostly non-caucasions so I ceased listening to the media and opt to do my own research. The media can be very toxic when its not in their interest.

    Most Jamaicans live in good houses, maybe not mansions, but decent houses. But there are also many ordinary hard working people living in large houses who aren't necessarily rich. The ghettoes that they show you in the media in Jamaica are less than 5% of Jamaica. It's a small area in Kingston.

      Jamaica is famed for its beautiful sandy beaches and rich cultural heritage. It is a popular destination for cruise ships. Tourism is one of Jamaica's top sources of revenue. In 2023, 4.5 million tourists were welcomed to the island.
      The industry contributes over 50% of the country's total foreign exchange earnings (approx. US$20). Thousands of Jamaicans work directly or indirectly in tourism.
      Tourism employs the second largest number of Jamaicans (approximately 200,000) directly in hotels, transport and attractions and indirectly in trading, manufacturing and banking. Many people in key tourist areas, such as Montego Bay, have benefited from an improved quality of life due to tourism.
      This island country is fully equipped when it comes to pampering guests, with five-star hotels offering, luxurious suites, gourmet dining world-class spas, private swimming pools, sailing, scuba diving and much more!
      The tourism industry earns over 50 percent of the country's total foreign exchange earnings and provides about one-fourth of all jobs in Jamaica.

    About seventy percent of the Jamaican population can be classified as lower middle to middle to upper income to rich and wealthy The rest are lower income to poor. It is worth knowing to that many communities similar to Beverly Hills exist in the Corporate Area of Kingston and St Andrew and other parishes throughout Jamaica.

      Tourists are rarely affected by crime in Jamaica because the majority of the tourists stay in relatively secure areas and spend usually less a month at a time in Jamaica; the longer the time one spend in a country the more likely one could be the victim of a crime. In addition, crime against tourists(the Non Black ones, the majority) are viewed by the government as very important to solve because the Jamaican government depend on tourism for revenue. Jamaicans (as expected) are the target of the majority of the crime in Jamaica. Jamaica needs to be safe for the Jamaicans

Down Town, Kingston is one massive ghetto (even though there is a lot of development taking place there, especially closer to the water front which is very modern), and many tourists go there.

    You’re so eloquent Wode. People always want to act like we can’t discuss the upper and middle class communities IN AFRICA, yet we are very aware of the wealthy in all the OTHER countries on Earth. So this negatively impacts our sense of pride in our own continent of origin. If no one is acknowledging the so-called 1% in Africa then WODE WILL present them. Yes! Tell them Wode Maya ✨✨✨

    That's what you call natural beauty and it more than 1% of Jamaicans live like that because the other 13 parishes has breath taken homes especially in St James and Manchester.

      Yep, and what's also important is the standard of the middle class in Jamaica, you don't need to live in any of the many wealthy parts of St. Andrew to live in a nice community and build a peaceful life.

    Thank you Wodemaya for exposing the real side of Jamaica. Jamaica is a beautiful place to live. Yes we have crime, yes we have some peoplewho are poor, but which country doesn't? Most Jamaicans live in sturdy houses. The average Jamaican house is pretty decent size and very strong structure. Come to Jamaica!!!

      What do you mean the ‘real’ side of Jamaica? ‘Real’ for whom? This is not the real life of the majority of Jamaicans..
      All this is, is ANOTHER side of Jamaica.
      Crime ridden sections of Montego Bay are another side of Jamaica. Lush, green, beautiful rural parishes with fresh fruits, beautiful rivers, are another side of Jamaica. The ghettos of downtown Kingston are another side of Jamaica.
      So there is no ‘real’(for want of a better word)Jamaica; just different sides of Jamaica, all of which makes it the enviable island that it is.

      I am not sure why a black person would be afraid to visit Jamaica when 95% of the tourists who visit Jamaica are white or other ethnicities- and they tend to go home, after their vacation in Jamaica, in one piece. Jamaica is a place where millions of foreigners visit! Also, Jamaica has a lot of Asians living in Jamaica (Chinese and Indians), and they walk around and no bother gives two fks about them. You, as a black person, would just blend perfectly in.

But Beverly Hills is NOT the only area with beautiful and luxurious homes where the rich and very well to do live. It is one of many. There are beautiful, large homes across the island but Kingston, the capital parish with the most people -- approximately 2/3rds of the population live in Kingston/St. Andrew -- has the most luxury communities. I hope you come back to Jamaica and get to see the gorgeous homes in places like Chancery Hall, Cherry Gardens, Norbrook, Russell Heights, Jacks Hill, Forest Hills, parts of the Red Hills, Aylsham Heights, Barbican Heights, Hope Pastures, Mona and parts of New Kingston.
