@2stepz_ahead see u in the spring

lol...right.

the property is about to drop something crazy. alot of opportunity there.

Not a good investment if they're gonna keep getting hit with hurricanes like that every year.

ah bruh......

puerto rico been there for quite a while and hurricanes hit there quite often.

hurricanes season is like 3 months out of year

the other 9 months is profit

now that the infrastructure is being built up better.....things will get better for tourism in the future.

pharma will not move out until PR becomes a state then they gonna move to the DR. so in the mean time....the two places i mentioned about the pharma locations ....will be a good place for airbandb and people who relocate.

and besides...when was the last time you been to miami? or boston? or LA?

just curious

The problem as I see it is the Caribbean gets hit with a hurricane every year between August 1 and October 31. This past year was especially bad as there were 3 major hurricanes (Harvey, Irma and Maria). Its kinda pointless to rebuild these countries if the same thing is going to happen within another 5 years.

Its like a shell game, or a hall of mirrors. They get hit with a hurricane and people donate money to rebuild and they get hit again. How many times has Florida been hit with a hurricane over the past 20 years?

According to Wikipedia

The list of Florida hurricanes from 2000 to the present has been marked by several devastating North Atlantic hurricanes; as of 2017, 79 tropical or subtropical cyclones have affected the U.S. state of Florida. Collectively, cyclones in Florida during the time period resulted in more than $73 billion in damage (2017 USD). Additionally, tropical cyclones in Florida were responsible for 147 direct fatalities and at least 92 indirect casualties during the period. Eight cyclones affected the state in both 2004 and 2005, which were the years with the most tropical cyclones affecting the state. Every year included at least one tropical cyclone affecting the state. During the 2004 season, more than one out of every five houses in the state received damage.[1] After Wilma in 2005, it would be 11 years until another hurricane would strike the state, and 12 years until another major hurricane would strike the state.

The strongest hurricane to hit the state during the time period was Hurricane Charley, which was the strongest hurricane to strike the United States since Hurricane Andrew. Additionally, hurricanes Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Wilma, and Irma made landfall on the state as major hurricanes.

So whats the point of spending $1Billion to rebuild if there's just going to be another MAJOR hurricane in 5 years?

Honestly, as I see it the solution is to move out of the Carribean.

Also, you mentioned Cali getting Earthquakes and Boston getting Nor'easters.

Cali doesn't get a major Earthquake every year, its more like every 20-50 years.

And I grew up in Massachusetts. Yeah there's some big snowstorms every year, but it doesn't require Billions of dollars in federal aid. Its actually commonplace. People stay home from work and the kids stay home from school for a couple of days until the snow plows clear out the snow and then its back to business.

In fact, the school systems in Massachusetts can't make a definitive schedule because they don't know how many snow days there's going to be. By law there's supposed to be 180 days of school, but there's always at least one snow day, sometimes there's as many as 5 snow days. But it doesn't cause Billions of dollars in damage, its just a lil inconvenient.

still a minor thing tho.

they dont get bashed like that.

an shit...mostly all the houses are made of cinderblocks and concrete. them shit aint tipping over or blowing away.

now what does the storm have to do with a shitty infrastructure?

if the infrastructure is on point, as in prepared for strong storms....it dont matter what comes thru...it will be a small quake in LA of a snowstorm in Boston. Just that time of the year.
 
Well as I understand it there's billions of dollars in damage.

It doesn't make sense to rebuild if its going to keep happening.
