Caps Hit Puerto Rico > CAP is a bit low....

CAP is a bit low....

Hey, its Puerto Rico can't ask for much. Everything here is like that good at first and crap at the end.

Last time I traveled to Bayamon, I noticed new house constructions by El Ocho and Bayamon Sur going for about $500k.

I'd call that disgusting considering that my parents sold their house in Bella Vista Gardens for a mere $90,000 just 14 years ago, where they now average about $240,000.

So with that kind of money going around there, I'd expect not only improved, faster web access, but a power and water utility that never goes out.

Wait... We're talking about AAA here.. You guys in Bayamon are lucky that mud doesn't make it past your faucet.

Never mind.

Where in Bayamon you live?

reply to KrK
hahahaha thats funny, yet sad at the same time. The water system here is pretty good actually almost never goes out. I would say the electricity fails more. Its true what you say, life here is actually pretty expensive considering other places. I live very near the San Patricio mall and Caparra. I go out and in about 1 minute im in Guaynabo. So i live in bayamon but not far in.

Ahh okay. You're more closer to Carolina and Santurce. Where I used to live is deeper into Bayamon, next to Rexville, Cana and Vanscoy.

I went to Plaza Las Americas on my last trip too. That mall is amazing. Looks so much better than what I remember when growing up. At least they kept that big water fountain that shoots up almost to the ceiling.

Good to see a true fellow Rican on here.

Next time I take a trip out there we're hangin.

I fell in love with that island all over again. I wish my parents never sold their house.

It does sadden me to read of all the killing going on.

What I found even more incredible is that these new crappy constructions (have you seen some of these new developments?, they are horribly small houses!!)with outrageous prices are selling out before they are done with construction. Where is all the money coming from? Last time I checked, jobs in PR pay way below what you could get in the US mainland.

I saw some construction in Bayamon South right in the borderline right after El Ocho, I think right by Barrio Abajo. Those were starting at 500k.

Where all the dough was coming from? I'll tell you where.

If there's one thing I know about my own people is that we love to spend money we don't have, and since Puertorican banks go by the same FICO scores and lending guidelines as US banks, you can imagine the mess it all turned into.

I'll wager there's as much foreclosure going on in the island right now as there is in the states.
