They'll figure out soon enough why people vacation instead of live there

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.)?

		I've spend a total of about 2 months in the Carribean. One of those being an entire month straight. It's the convenience really, and the fact that nobody is in a hurry. Island time is real. You cannot be demanding. You can't really be upset at service. Most people are there to chill out, even if they are doing a job. Life is just slower. This is good, IMO. But if you are a hedonically adapted/burned out western metropolis dweller, this culture shock could be distressing.

At some point people will also figure out why these people are fleeing.

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

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.

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

		Have you spent time in the Carribean and SEA? SEA prices are better, it's safer, people are more honest in most areas, and while food is subjective, IMO SEA has that locked as well.
