Jersey? A giant shanty town dotted with ivory towers

From Kyle Moody.
I HAVE never considered myself a very patient person, and that is why I have such difficulty understanding the ‘plan’ to get Jersey back on its feet.
We are ludicrously over-populated, with new dependents arriving every day by boat, plane and maternity ward, yet the States continue to make homes and welfare available regardless of what these newcomers will contribute to society.
That is to say, our welfare system is very desirable.
Don’t feel like working? Not a problem – someone else can pay.
If immigration were to be cut or moderated, more jobs would be available, hospital beds would be freed and classrooms would be uncrowded.
Yet on the other hand, what little space we do have is now far too often becoming filled with ‘luxury’ homes and ‘luxury’ shops which only the Island’s élite would benefit from. These decadent villas and apartments go unsold and stand as a stark reminder of what the working man can’t afford.
How long must we wait before Jersey becomes one giant shanty town dotted with ivory towers? Could someone give me an estimate, as I hate waiting?
