They Work Hard. They Still Can’t Buy a Home | Housing Crisis

Jamaica is facing a housing crisis. Even with a good job, thousands of Jamaicans—especially the middle class—can no longer afford to buy a home. Why? Real estate prices have skyrocketed while salaries remain stagnant. A one-bedroom apartment in Kingston can cost over J$28 million—far out of reach for young professionals.

This video breaks down the real numbers behind Jamaica’s housing emergency. We expose the deep flaws in the system—from mortgage barriers and crushing taxes on building materials to limited supply and the growing influence of Airbnb in residential neighborhoods.

We also examine how the housing market has shifted from serving locals to catering to overseas investors. But it doesn't have to stay this way. Learn how countries like Singapore, Vienna, Canada, and Germany tackled their own affordable housing problems—and what lessons Jamaica can adopt.
If you’re wondering why hard-working Jamaicans can’t buy a home, this video delivers the answers.
