Bout time, the crying and whining without commitment to action wasn’t helping anyone. The people here have so much potential yet they leave traditional values and move to the US in exchange for a better life, ignoring the fact that in SOME circumstances you have the capacity to make your life better. The population and the culture here has always had their hands out, you’re not going to get anywhere that way, you have to take back what’s yours. I’m an investor myself and I’m in no way against community involvement because it’s actually cheaper to the tax payer if the community lifts its own, we should only use government for the defense of our rights and liberties and never as a burden. This is the most positive news I’ve heard all year.

They should not be able to buy the houses and then sit on them and then sell them leaving it abandoned for years yeah getting their tax breaks. If you’re gonna buy it, you should have to fix it up within a certain amount of time or you don’t get the tax breaks.

does any neighborhood favor gentrification? at first, ppl noticed properties got 'spruced up' cosmetically, but socially, outsiders displaced local residents, with all sorts of self serving exuses, rationales, ime (how it 'helps' the neighborhood, cosmetically duh, socially insidious)..

I will give you an example of gentrification..Bianca during the early nineties hotels like La Concha and the Condado Vanderbilt sat there empty...in ruins and neither the Government or local investors did (nothing)... but a New Yorker..I won't mention.. his name..bought and restored both hotels ..and those properties are now the best hotels in Condado.. He also brought pride for the area and created hundreds of jobs !!!! In the tourism sector and these hotels bring in millions of dollars to the Puerto Rican economy as well.. Here is a perfect example of your (so-called) gentrification ..and I am Puerto Rican. but I speak the Truth..

I just now, at 62 yr young and a lifetime US resident, found out that Puerto Rico is a US Territory? The same with the Philippines? Many Western States were Once Larger Territories and WERE NOT ALLOWED to reach statehood with out CERTAIN PROVISIONS. I recently discovered that all u s indian reservations are NOT the 10:32 10:36 Property of the Inhabitants.... Reservations are Held In Trust (?) By THE US Government... Internment Camps of All 1st Nations People? Imperial/Colonial Antiquated Ideology Has Come To End... much damage still occuring.... Blue Skies ✌️🌙🐂🪐 Inspiring ❣️ Thank You
