They'll figure out soon enough why people vacation instead of live there
At some point people will also figure out why these people are fleeing.

There's nothing wrong with living in the Caribbean. Tons of people live there for a reason. Biggest issue with the Caribbean is the price of property, susceptibility to climate disasters and susceptibility to external political forces which means constant securit threat.

#24https://archive.is/gWfRv This article is about a project called "Destiny" ( https://destiny.com ), an economic zone to be created in an undeveloped region of Nevis (of St. Kitts & Nevis) The project goal is to become like Dubai with a 50m dollar investment, which I don't think is an admirable goal btw. St Kitts & Nevis has had a history of being friendly to crypto and there was an initiative to make bitcoin cash lega…
I been to St. Kitts & Nevis. The only thing I can remember is the very stark contrast between the commercialized beaches versus where the locals lived, and the roaming cows everywhere. Nevis (the baseball) was only boat accessible, and St. Kitts (the bat) is mostly hills of national park. Vast majority of things must be flown or shipped in. I am hard pressed to see some "techno libertarians" doing techno without Amaz…

These are billionaires, pretty sure they will only do 183 days and being on your boat probably counts.

Bears were hardly the only problem.
"Grafton got worse. Recycling rates went down. Neighbor complaints went up. The town’s legal costs went up because they were constantly defending themselves from lawsuits from Free Towners. The number of sex offenders living in the town went up. The number of recorded crimes went up. The town had never had a murder in living memory, and it had its first two, a double homicide, over a roommate dispute."
"And meanwhile, the town that would ordinarily want to address these things, say with a robust police force, instead found that it was hamstrung. So the town only had one full-time police officer, a single police chief, and he had to stand up at town meeting and tell people that he couldn’t put his cruiser on the road for a period of weeks because he didn’t have money to repair it and make it a safe vehicle."

It's amazing this kind of vitriol is tolerated as long as it aids the bashing of libertarians.

As someone with no plans to live or vacation in the caribbean, I'm curious. Is there a specific notable reason, or is it just a combination of littler things (cost, convenience, politics, weather, etc.)?
