I disagree with portion of this report. Many Guyanese who started out in 2000 are doing well. During the past seventeen years, Guyanese made mistakes in their investment strategy that failed them. However, that time has faded. Many new comers from Guyana are attracted to Schenectady because it's affordable. The Schenectady attraction is increasing rapidly because NYC is too expensive for beginners.
The Mayor in the early days when Guyanese were buying up Schenectady, he got excited and became corrupted. This was a time when Guyanese were cutting each other throat for survival. All of them wanted to be on the good side of the mayor to feel important.
The youths are the drug users and pushers. Young people are drinking heavily and driving recklessly, causing accident and death to increase.
First, it were the Blacks and Hispanics. Now, the Guyanese themselves are giving Schenectady a bad name. And so the story goes.
