No it was not. It was near an AI, but not in an AI.

Wow! You come on strong tagging my statement as ridiculous.
Every week and I am not exaggerating. Yes, Santo Domingo, las minas. Dominicanos don't want to live there. Must be a reason they are all desperate to leave the country.
We are coming from different places.
Spain is the dr of Europe if you will. Holiday destination. Beautiful country, bla bla.
Crime rate is low. USA is a totally different ball game.
.... saying there are murders every week - by the way spain doesnt have a low crime rate
This is a ridiculous statement! I live in a barrio and not one bad thing has happened to us here. Whenever we get hurt or something happens the barrio peeps are the first to come running to help us!
The DR is not all non stop violent crime, not the one I live in anyways!
Where do your in laws live? SD?
... and because the Government croonies and Military control the drug game, things are somewhat under control.
THAT's for the Dominican Republic I first knew, and LOVED, 30 years ago!!!!

THAT's for the Dominican Republic I know TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With all due respect. Just because nothing has ever happened to you doesn't mean that that poster is wrong in his assessment. The Dominican Republic is a place that has placed fear in even decent New York Dominicans, who hesitate visiting family due to the dangers that their old neighborhoods present.
The DR is the main Cocaine hub in the Caribbean (transplanting Puerto Rico), and because the Government croonies and Military control the drug game, things are somewhat under control. Once gangs start to get stronger, you'll have a little Mexico on your hands.
Just ask those who never ever go out at night, whether the Dominican Republic is the paradise it was 10 years ago.
Don't get me wrong, I love the freedom the DR gives me, love the beaches and the older generation's humbleness and humility. But that is where, it ends for most.
The poster doesn't live here and his in laws live in a really crappy area of SD where Expats would not move to anyways so I think it gives a bit of false info.
