Hi,
I am very strongly considering moving to Puerto Rico in the next year or two because of Act 20/22, and currently live in the People’s Republic of New Jersey. I have been doing as much research as I can online and hope to be able to find some time to come and visit for myself. I also am a conservative and I have just discovered your blog and the picture you paint is a stark contrast to everything else I have read. I was wondering if you could email me so we can discuss further the state of Puerto Rico, and where pu see things going. As I understood it, despite being democrats, the current regime was trying to become more business/investor friendly in order to drive economic growth to the island, similar to what Singapore did. I am very excited to here from you. Thank you very much.
All the best,
Ryan

Also, I am aware that crime and corruption have been problems, however I was under the impression that violent crime is down year over year and that things were at least starting to turn around. Is this also not true?

The murder rate is down. However it still ranks as a whole the murder Capitol of the US. Crime against property is still rampant and its hard to get a clear picture since many of those crimes go unreported.
The irony about the murder rate that when drug enforcement goes up so does the murder rate. When the locals back off on drug enforcement the murder rate drops.

Thanks for your polite and thoughtful comment. That being said, the ones who turned their backs on Puerto Rico are the 3 main political parties and the public sector unions. Trump was absolutely right when he said, PR was a disaster before the hurricanes. The problem that I see is that few people in PR seem to want to accept that. Puerto Rico’s problems begin and end in Puerto Rico, it is long past time to stop blaming the Navy, the Americans, the current or future president and it is also past time to stop attacking those who recognize that Puerto Rico, destroyed itself.
