Cost of Living in San Juan

Very high levels of infections recently throughout Puerto Rico and its growing daily. But it's growing rapidly throughout the world for that matter.Avoid traveling to any islands no matter where they are because it's a recipe for possible infection. It's better to stay at home if possible and order groceries online to be delivered avoiding the crowds just a tip.

Is it bad that i cried reading these comments...

Puerto Rico is a cesspool I've lived in San Juan since birth but I'm moving to Boston next month never to return.Theres been alot of negative comments about how mainlanders were treated while visiting and living in Puerto Rico.Their rants are correct and now I've been labeled as a traitor for leaving my country after telling friends and family I wasn't returning.

Why do I get the feeling that all those hate comments are written by the same person.

Levy a petition before real American citizens to extinguish the Jones Act and see how quickly signatures mount up.While at it the mainland needs to send all of you greasy Puerto Ricans back to your island and renounce all Puerto Ricans citizenship.

To all the racist gringos commenting here: We Puerto Ricans are very glad that you had a bad time on the island. To the rest of the gringos thinking about moving to the island: Please do your research before making such important decision. Most of you just move like it's no big deal and then go back home crying to your mommys because it wasn't the way you wanted. "Too expensive, too humid, a lot of corruption bla bla bla" We're sick of hearing your complaints so let me give you some facts. First of all, you invaded our fkn island and we've been begging that you let us go or at least remove the Jones Act so that we can live like a normal country and not depend on your POS shipping system for everything which is what makes everything more expensive in the first place. Yes, construction is expensive because it's a tropical island which gets hit by hurricanes all the time and therefore we can't have paper houses like you do in the states (at least you can fart in PR and a wall won't blow off). Utilities are more expensive, guess why? Bigo! We are an ISLAND! When was the last time you checked the utility prices in Hawaii??? Also, a simple research would show you that much more money goes back to the states than the one that comes in or why do you think PR has the highest rate of poverty in the US and why do you think none of your presidents has wanted to let us go if we're such a drag??? Lol, silly ignorant gringos. At least we don't have school and church shootings, we are nice people and we're not mentally ill like you are. And we have crooked politicians that are crooked because you gave them an easy playing field which abides to your rules and leaves us in a political limbo where we have all the cons and none of the pros of being a state because we're a colony and we can't even vote for our "president". So let's recap: You gotta pay to play. You want to be in a US territory full of beaches and a tropical forest? It's not gonna be peaches and cream. We give you more money that what you give us. We can't buy our stuff from anyone but you which makes us poor. If you have a redneck/hillbilly mentality stay out of PR or we'll make sure you have a very bad time because we have some of the worst criminals as well. For the rest of you: If you are a smart and kind person, Puerto Rico can be a paradise for you and we'll welcome you with open arms since we're not racist. We just respect people that respect us.
