No races in NY do anything together. Blacks hang with blacks. Hispanics with Hispanics of their own country. Maybe whites integrate with each other, but even they stick to their own. Italians hang with Italians...etc, etc, etc.

Then you have the WASP whites in places like Williamsburg and other parts of transient Brooklyn. These are mostly all white Midwestern transplants that despise native ethnic NY'ers.

Prison Gates? What part of the urban core do you reside and what part of PR did you come from? Did you ever live in San Juan?

In Miami after Wilma hit --we could see the extension cords across the street sharing energy from those that had generators. MY son a few other men went with our chainsaw cutting branches to help clean up-- community- which is what we need again- PRicans glue that way and I like it
Thats whats up. Hurricans are not so bad in Orlando...not like how they be in Miami.

Puerto Rico is broke so I assume that's why they are coming to Orlando. WHY are they broke? Corruption?? Don't know how to budget?? The Puerto Ricans I worked with were nice but a neighbor who worked with a PR woman was upset because her young son had a different last name and she put him on welfare even though this PR woman was making a great salary! That is not right.

What trying to fit me in a box? No hurricanes may not be bad in Orl. but there are always issues in a city - life happens everywhere. I have friends in NY and I must be your neck of the neighborhood-that stays aloof- one reason like the multicultural areas- they purposely move there i gather?

Ok fair enough, what draws many to Orlando vs other cities like Houston, Miami, New Orleans and Philadelphia for example. What draws Puerto Ricans to Orlando?

Spanish is common-- and there are jobs- that's why they come- the PR culture has been here a long time- everyone knows Miami is over populated and expensive Orl. is the best next thing.
