I probably visit Schenectady more than anyone else here at GNI. I always visit a place called Niskayuna, NY. Very wealthy and affluent area.
I sometimes visit the heart of Schenectady and can post my observations.
Crime and Drugs are mainly in African American neighbourhoods and many are on welfare.
Guyanese bought and have invested in areas of Schenectady and have transformed many neighbourhoods. Many Guyanese own multiple homes and have mainly African Americans as tenants.
They (Indo Guyanese) are doing extremely well in Schenectady.
I personally know someone who owns over thirty apartments. African Americans on welfare are a majority of his tenants, (he uses a "section something" term ) to describe their status and how their rent are paid.
The writer of that article needs to have his or her brain examined.
