Inquiring minds wonder why a US Supreme Court judge owns property in an offshore tax haven.

It's not a tax haven so far as I know (although the new administration is pushing offshore banking). It's still a British affiliated island (or pair of islands, actually) but independent, and I'd say 99% of their income is still tourism.

Breyer is just a part-time member of the expat community that you'll find all over the Caribbean. The cost of living is low, so vacation homes are very affordable. If you play your cards right, you don't even need to buy one. My parents stayed free at a friend's villa for years, since my dad is a very competent plumber and electrician and my mom does interior design. Whenever their friends didn't need the place, they would show up with a big box of stuff and get to work, and incidentally loll on the beach and drink rum punches on the veranda. Not a bad deal.
