Re: Time to look elsewere
Yeah I hear you, thinking the same. This is happening too often - I posted a couple months ago about a murder in Sav close to me. I bought a house in Jamaica but can and will walk away if I start feeling too unsafe.
It's a big world. Problems everywhere. People say "Life is hard in Jamaica". True, but globally, Jamaica is around the middle in per-capita income at around 10K, while it is #1 or #2 in murder rate at 57 per 100,000. Compare for example Burundi with per-capita income just $732 but murder rate 1/10 that of Jamaica. True of most African countries. Then again, in Jamaica you won't get bit by a malarial mosquito or attacked by an angry hippo. Risks everywhere I guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...PP)_per_capita

If I look elsewhere I will consider the whole world, not just the Caribbean. Belize I would reject (will be underwater soon). I hear New Zealand is nice ...
