I’ll say that giving Puerto Rico statehood after the 2016 referendum that allowed it is far less “problematic” than the argument for turning Washington DC into several congressional districts with extra electoral college representation.
I think cii could update us...
This is a wonderful affirmation that people with money see what Trump has started to do to rehabilitate Puerto Rico and believe in it. This brings private money to the island which is the best kind. A win - win for America and Trump!
Google Puerto Rican slums.
No thanks. It’s a day away from communist revolution.
Harts location is too small.
Try Tuftonboro. IF you are not on the lake, houses are reasonable and taxes are cheap.
Same story with Moultonborough.
Rye, NH taxes are also low, but houses are expensive. It is the most expensive on average in the state, except for New Castle. These are both towns on the Atlantic Ocean. The closer you are to the water, the more expensive they get.
Or perhaps a state like Wyoming and Montana split into east and west states - also each getting two Senators
Where does it end?
I don’t have to Google that. I live in Puerto Rico.

“coupled with an established economy, reinforced infrastructure and the finest medical facilities in the Caribbean.”
Thanks.
I lived in the old Chelsea area back in the mid '50s (22nd St and 8th Ave.). A NYC politician named Vito Marcantonio** loaded DC3s with Puerto Ricans, brought 'em to the City and immediately put them on welfare at $57 a week each. He told 'em to remember who brought them to the States on Election Day.
(This 21-year-old was making $35 a week as a Macy's stock boy while going to a tech school). Landlords in the tenements around us started charging rent per person after they found 8-10 people per two-bedroom apartment.
They'd sit on the steps all day, sucking on cans of beer and harassing the women walking by. Neighborhood went lower class very quickly.
**A real flaming seven-term Lefty Congressman who luckily died in '54 before he could do any more damage.
