One of our friends gave up on the whole thing in about a year ago bought a house in bahamas. It’s a beautiful place, I got to admit. The trick was to stay away from nassau. For her it’s all about freeport. And it truly is small town living.
Bahamas got the same issue bothers me here in Hawaii:
Too dependent on shipping for most everything. No BOR in the Bahanas? liberals not much in favor here, but we do our own thing for the most part.
isolation and lack of mobility bothers me.
Living behind enemy lines as well.
