Well, Andrew is a man that have a big heart - bless him. What I really want to see though is the renovation and refurbishment of Kingston's infrastructures namely: expanded drainage systems, local road maintenance & improvement. From I was a yute, Princess, Orange, Church & King Streets massively overfloods whenever there's heavy rainfall - ppl using handcarts to cross these streets. Also foul water over-flows is becoming a regular feature for the past couple of decades. Downtown Kingston side walks are crumbling and filthy - there haven't been any maintenance over the years - all of these things and more need very urgent attention, like immediately please.

Its not the amount of floors, its the height of the building Some of the tallest buildings in the Caribbean are located in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. One of them is Torre Caney, a residential tower that stands at 178 meters (584 feet) and has 42 floors. It was the tallest building in the Dominican Republic until 2011, when it was surpassed by Anacaona 27, another residential tower that reaches 182 meters (597 feet) and has 45 floors, however The Pinnacle will be the tallest building in the Caribbean, reaching 300 meters (984 feet) .

Indeed, unless he thinks the Spanish Caribbean in not the Caribbean, I don't know how he could have arrived to such a claim. Havana's FOCSA building, built in 1956, has 40 floors. The upcoming "Torre K", also in Cuba, will have 45 floors. Dominican Republic's "Torre Anacaona 27" and "Torre Caney", both in Santo Domingo, have 42 floors each... Again, the claim that this and a seven-floor building in Haiti are the tallest buildings in the Caribbean (one even surpassed by San Juan, Puerto Rico's "Caribbean Sea View Condominiums" and its many 20-something-stories buildings) is not only false, it is so far from the truth, it is laughable. Even Trinidad and Tobago has taller buildings than Haiti.
