I wonder where SUPERCRAZY is today?
If you do pop in (a one in a million chance) tell us how your real estate career went these last 5 years.

From Bonxguyanese: Many ricans are moving to greener pastures and many young ricans are leaving nyc for oppurtunities else where. You should try the common wealth of pr or try fl, parts of nj, pa and nc for puerto ricans.
Yep, look to Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, and Reading, PA.
I though PR was getting better? A lot of my friends go there when they take vacations and they all loved it there.
Vacationing is different than living in the island. So far this year,we have ~120 more murders at this time than we had last year in Puerto Rico,the body count currently stands at a little more than 800. If Puerto Rico breaks 995,and it probably will,2011 will be the most violent year in Puerto Rican history. Crime is currently at the levels it was at during the 90s.
It's probable that the drug wars are fueling this rise in crime. I personally believe that The Drug Wars are only worsening,and by looking at places like Mexico and Puerto Rico,it's only a matter of time before crime in the U.S. increases. The situation has obviously drastically deterioration in the last 2 years.
Drug Wars in Mexico claimed 9,635 lives in 2009. In 2010, 15,273 people lost their lives. That's an increase of nearly 6,000 in a year! Considering that most drugs smuggled by Mexican drug cartels are headed for the U.S.,it's odd that crime is stable here. Usually more drugs means more crime.
Or else the crashing economy is causing the violence which always crashes harder on the poor.
The poverty rate was 44.8% in 2008 and has probably risen with this damsable recession/depression.

You mean in Mexico or the U.S? Here, it's about 14%.

A lot of that is the agressive stance the Mexican pres has taken. He basically started a war.
I got to Florida often, and you can definitely tell Central Florida in particular has become much more ethnic, and Hispanic. It is nowhere near Miami of course, however it should be interesting to see how the growing Hispanic population across the state, especially in Central Florida, changes the political landscape.
Will the entrenched, and Republican South Florida Cuban population lose power, as the Democractic Central Florida PR population grows? 10 years from now, we will know the answer.

No, I meant the poverty rate in Puerto Rico. I should have spelled it out but I was referring to the previous poster who talked about the increase in violence in Puerto Rico and its possible causes.
Sorry if it caused a mixup.
