well - its not ideal in some ways - it is an out island so it WILL (and is) be hit by hurricanes first - its narrow and has some low areas - so storm surges can be a problem - its utility infrastructure is shaky (it can take 2 years to get a phone)

but - its paradise - pink sand beaches - crystal clear waters - wonderful climate - close to the united states - bedrock is not that far down so building ‘hurricane proof’ is almost possible

the people are very laid back and nice - which is good and bad - getting work done there takes FOREVER - but you know what you are dealing with and the laws are flexible if you grease the skids - its almost as easy as looking at a published table to see what it will cost to bring in outside builders

i have 3020 acres with 4 miles of beach on the atlantic and 4 miles on the lee side - airport nearby with a 6500 foot runway - customs ‘on site’ (meaning you call for a guy to come, but he'll probably tell you to leave the form and go on - or if leaving, to leave the $15 bucks on the counter and go)

not very developed - no walmarts or anything like that so finding hunts brand canned tomatoes might be a problem but you will have some brand available

its a little too type b personality for me but nice - a ‘restaurant’ might literally be someone’s home kitchen with a lady cooking for you

i joked that i would build a hospital there if obamacare stands - europe has india to escape to for medical treatment - we will need the same - maybe bain capital is interested....lol
