It is time to admit that there are worrying levels of poverty in this island. And it is reflected not only in the growing number of homeless wandering our streets, but in the poor quality of too many houses in this country.We are proud to show off the palatial, stately homes that decorate our main highway from the Grantley Adams International Airport, and other housing developments scattered across most parishes.But we have to come to terms with the fact that many Barbadians are building sub-standard accommodation out of a sheer desire to have a roof, any roof, over their heads.
