What are things like right now in Puerto Rico? Going back for the first time in years?
-
I was born and raised in Cabo Rojo. I left when I was 9 though. Now I'm 19 and we are going back for two weeks in the summer. I'm not gonna lie. I'm worried. My father is a police officer there and has told me a lot of bad things. A lot of crime according to him. And the people aren't too nice. (That one is from my tio) I live in a very nice place right now. We aren't rich but we live extremely comfortably. According to my uncle and everyone else, I'm sort of in for a big culture shock or something. That things have changed enormously since we left in 2001. Can someone give me some insight? Thank you :)

Answer:
Most people living in the island concentrate on the negative. But let me tell you: you should have a nice time in the island. Yes, there is a big problem with crime in the island. And yes, some innocent people have been victims of the crime. But to tell the truth, in this aspect it is not more dangerous than New York, Chicago or other big cities. 90% of murders in Puerto Rico are still related to drug trafficking/debt owing, passion crimes and generally provoked situations. If you are going to stay in the west coast then you should not be worried. The west coast is still pretty safe, most of the serious crimes there are related to owing money from drug trafficking. So you left in 2001. In terms of media, a lot has changed. The local TV shows airing in the local channels are no more. If you grew up with those shows, you won't see them anymore. Stay away from dangerous caserios and do not go into unnecessary trouble and you will be safe. Enjoy your time in the island.

let me see sila is gone, then we had anibal and now fortuño. this year is probably going to be the most violent year in history since theres like 100 murders every month and last year we reached 900 something. although some say that other types of crime have declined which i dont think so since many upper middle class neighborhoods in my town have many robberies.ppl arent that nice but that depends. unemployment is really high. and i cant think of anything now
