Another day in paradise with more crisis than usual. It seems that people here have zero knowledge of how to solve anything. The current debt has to be paid but our people are paying the ultimate price. Puerto Rico residents are suffering.
It’s understandable that cuts and sacrifice are essential for a reason but hurting people in the long run is not acceptable.
- Rents are high
- Electricity is high
- Water is high
- Food is high
- Gasoline is high
There is absolutely no way that raising everything will bring back normality into our communities. We are facing a huge financial strain that is affecting people emotionally. Puerto Ricans needs to learn how to balance books without having to cut into our lives.
Health care is on a negative balance, Security is bien ignored, jobs are hard to find. We are looking at an empty island. The struggle here is real. We live day by day trying to figure out where to find the next dollar to pay our monthly bills.
If only our friends abroad would actually do something to give us a hand financially, things here would change for the better.
SOS FOR PUERTO RICO!!

I heard some investment was made last year. Or at least promised. What happened?

Investments are made via our Government. The local communities do not benefit at all from any Government contracts.

My Papa just moved from Puerto Rico to Florida because of what you mentioned, but also the fact that crime is high also. I’m half Puerto Rican, I’d still like to visit some day. I’m the only one in my family that hasn’t been. 🙂

Puerto Rico is beautiful. Crime is all over the world. We struggle but manage our daily lives by adjusting everything.

This is true, I’m in Los Angeles and crime is definitely here as is the struggle. California is super expensive to live. 🙂

Adjusting everything has helped here. Spending money on stuff that is needed and not overspend. It’s Paradise. I never visited California but know it’s an awesome State but living expenses are too high. Rents here are not that bad.

Yeah, rent here is outrageous. The cost of buying a home is even more crazy. Everyone rents because no one afford to buy a home. Move anywhere else (other than New York) and trust me, you can buy a mansion with what it cost to buy a shack out here! 🙂

What I see is these millionares are helping each other but not the common people. Our Communities are falling apart because of lack of local Investments. We need to take care of each other, like the rich take care of their own.

To be honest, property sales are still occurring, despite the current Political financial crises.
