So if you don't mind my asking, where abouts did you end up moving to? I live in Vegas right now and, eventually, would like to move elsewhere. I'm thinking Florida at the moment or maybe a little further north. Ideally, somewhere green and affordable without crazy left wing politics letting crime run amok. I'm open to suggestions.

@@elbryan9 Honestly Vegas is a good place as it's still affordable, I would either live in Vegas, Austin or Miami, but Miami is way too expensive nowadays. If you want a cooler climate New Hampshire would be good, other cool climate + low tax states will be in the middle of nowhere like Wyoming plus Washington would be too left

It Is a pretty personal video. From an individual with a totally delusional perspective. High gang activity? Dude!! How dare you!!! In United States there’s more than 33 THOUSAND GANGS!!! Cribs, bloods, MS13, trinitarios and your favorite the KKK!! Death, gun fire and gang activity is very normalized here? Normalized? Normalized like school k!llin sprees in United States? Everyone goes back to school the next day like nothing happened. Do you know the number of school shootings in USA last year? 82!!! And this year so far 18!! Do you know how many In Puerto Rico? 0!!! I don’t live behind any gates in PR and I feel pretty safe!! I hear no gun shoots and I’ve never been robbed nor fear for my life. The problem with a lot of Americans is that they go to 3rd world countries like Mexico, Dominican Republic and Colombia and the people bend over backwards to please them for a few $$. Then they come to PR and realize that now only we get pay in dollars, we have no interest in pleasing gringos cuz we don’t need nothing from y’all. And so they realize that their American entitlement just doesn’t work here and so the leave!!! The truth is that Americans have no business moving to PR. Y’all do absolutely nothing for the economy. Y’all only move here to avoid taxes. Y’all segregate as you stated on this video. And y’all only bring separation, racism and disparity. And the end of the day what matters is that you’re gone!!! And I’m truly happy about that!!

I agree with you - I’m in Condado and to be quite honest with you when I go to cafes and they realise I live here I’m treated differently to tourists. They refuse to speak to me in English - ask why I don’t know the language and I’ve been refused service. The whole experience has made me deeply unhappy and I’m 8 months in and returning to the Uk in August

@@katherinenicolson835 Puerto Rico is a Spanish speaking country. If they don’t speak English they can’t speak to you in English. You have to learn Spanish. The same way we need to learn English when we move to United States.

Love .

See here is my problem with comments like yours. You’ve likely NEVER been around a shooting or even shot a gun. You’ve never been pressed or robbed in public. All of your woes in America are literally spoonfed to you through various sources of media fearmongering you, you’ve never experienced any of the things you just said in Walmart or on a campus. In Puerto Rico, you’re a gringo, they are only a territory to America. You’re likely to get fucked up there off of your mindset alone. Targeted MUCH MORE easily as well. Hell I can go as far to say as long as you aren’t a gangbanger, gun violence is only in video games, they only shoot at eachother and rob eachother, no points for civilians. Whites kill whites at a 90% rate in America since the 80s. Blacks mirror the same statistic since the 80s. You’re more likely to be killed by someone of your OWN race than anyone else, and on top of that, you’re more likely to be killed by someone of the same race that You KNOW vs a random person of your race. TL;DR: No need to read, most people ESPECIALLY online get their ideals from various media, never experiencing the things they’ve been made afraid of, never going outside to talk to anyone, just spoonfed and preconceived notions. Tragic

ok

what area do you live in?

@@phantomstays I do not wish to disclose my location. I don’t want to ‘foul my nest’ .

@@heimbone1 fair enough!

@@phantomstays A tip for frugal living: Live in the neighborhoods, not expat communities or condos.

Nailed it

Thank you for your more general but honest assessment. Unfortunately, Hayden's analysis only better serves the more wealthy, who can hide themselves in gated communities, play golf ever day. And only venture behind their gates when traveling to the airport. It may be true that PR is an island nation. But it is near completely AMERICAN! And which politically is moving closer to statehood. A fact that unfortunately may soon change for most Puertoricans, who don't want to lose their cultural rhythm and lifestyle.

Sounds about white. I mean if your white and white people run tings you will always benefit from white corruption, white theft, white genocides, trafficking etc. it's a good ting nuh?

😂😂😂 if you are Puerto Rican you have the lowest selfsteem I have ever seen.

Goodbye and good riddance

Been there a couple times. Even though its in Puerto Rico, it feels like its not, sense its blocked off from the rest of the island because the whole place is one big wealthy gated community with smaller gated neighborhoods within, and security is everywhere. Its dominated by mostly wealthy Non-Puerto Rican Americans and tourists, and the few Puerto Ricans in there are only the workers.

@@jlm3744 Usually when I am there in the winter its mostly northeast Americans. I have heard during the summer it's the complete opposite. There are a good amount of Puerto Ricans in the complex tho and own a good amount of the condos. Every person ive rented from was PR resident. All of the restaurants and stores are owned by PR residents

@@jlm3744 I have also noticed a massive drop off in people at Palmas since about 2015. Hayden is right about the population problem. 12% drop in a decade is crazy

@@retrodripsupport7510 Yeah maybe your right, it might be different in the summer. I was there 3 weeks ago, and I saw mostly Americans living and having a good time, and a few Puerto Ricans who were there just working. Well he is right that a bunch of professionals are leaving the island to find better work in the US. But what he didn't mention is that he is kind of the problem to why a lot of Puerto Ricans have to leave the island, with all these wealth y Americans moving in paying less taxes and buying up everything, its raising the cost of living for real Puerto Ricans, so with Puerto Ricans cost of living going up and having to actually pay full high taxes many have had to leave. And I say its kind of his fault because most of it is because of the corrupt Puerto Rican government, I've also seen that the political party in control now that is pushing for Puerto Rico to become a state, they are open about how they know the tax incentives aren't really helping the island and that they are only keeping it up because they are using it as leverage to pressure congress to make the island a state. But with all this going on, I hear there's a giant push for Act60 to be taken down, even financial Gurus like Nomad Capitalist and Wealthy Expat have talked about ACt60 and Puerto Rico and that its very likely going to be taken down in the near future and that they recommend not moving to Puerto Rico just because you want to pay less taxes.

@@jlm3744 who told you the only Puerto Ricans that live in Palmas are workers?

He lived in the Bristol Tower. I know because another Act60 guy TannerPlanes said he lives there and when I saw the building on Google Earth and from the look of the windows in his apartment from his videos, and with the lagoon out the window. It matches up that that's where he lived. Also Hayden if you see this just letting you know I'm not a stalker, got most of this from TannerPlanes.

@jlm3744 they don't realize how easy it is when they post videos like that especially when he mentions the guy gonna kill him lol

Haha yes

Is it really a blessing? We are all spending money in your bars and restaurants - hiring your contractors using services. And this is why PR will never get better because you are all hostile. Yet you guys are coming to the UK to use our universities for courses like vet med. your argument is stupid.

@@katherinenicolson835 No, YOUR argument is stupid. You think spending money going out to bars makes up for the difference in what you're extracting from us? No it does not. Good grief you're so tone deaf.

Because no one wants to live in Delaware lmao

you don't get a tax break from Delaware. It's just a corporate formation state.

His name is Hayden...

Most of the locals don't like these type of people staying here for 3 years and not even bothering to learn the language.

Exactly he's a colonizer that's all. Just listen how he talks about the island, I didn't even realize Puerto Ricans live here listening to him

@@nesq4104 you were colonized by your own government not some random dropshippers getting 3k views on KZfaq

@@retrodripsupport7510 make it make sense please

But here lies the problem. Puerto Ricans send their kids to UK and USA universities, yet you have the audacity to tell us to leave? You use your passports and hop to the mainland for job opportunities, yet we cannot do the same in return? Yes, your stupid government needs a total overhaul - but directing frustrations at us isn't the solution.

Compared to the U.S. yes. Compared to Haiti, no.

@@imjustalilbit 🤣🤣🤣🤣 true!

People from Los Angeles say that LA sucks, too. They just need to travel more.

@@azdru62 i traveled. That's how I know Puerto Rico sucks.

You can keep your statehood either way you. There is 50 states you can choose whatever you want.

@@anthonytorres198309 :I believe that your official Doctor probably prescribed you a medication that is causing you a lot of confusion saying things that make no sense.
