Another ambiguously worded poll.
Obviously, alternately, anyone can be sad or happy anywhere in the world at any time. It all depends on circumstances. I e, a wedding or a funeral.
But if your question is whether one is generally satisfied or dissatisfied, living in DR, will mostly depend on one's general financial situation.
The reason why Dominicans risk all to navigate the Mona passage and Haitians sneak across to our side, is due to deprivation brought on by $$$ constrains. Not necesserally because they want to abandone their way of life.
The common denominator here is money or the lack of. Just about anyone who chooses DR as a place to reside permanently, will know that without bucks, he/she will be utterly miserable. But with enough dough, life can be dolce indeed in our flawed paradise.
