I am considering the DR for a retirement venue. North Coast preferred. I have been there many times, but on short trips. I'll probably rent or lease for 6 mos. or so before investing.
I'm not yet fluent in Spanish, but progressing.
I would appreciate any input I can get on general living costs, any foods to avoid, the political situation, bank stability, crime, medical care, and (of course) social events.
I generally like beaches, palm trees, and Argentine Tango. Salsa and Maringue are acceptable substitutes.
I'm rather sick of the rat race in the US.
