Most people that live here know that most of our fellow countrymen could not live here.
The lack of infrastructure (Power is out right now in much of Cabarete because of stupidity) the lack of water, let alone the lack of potabale water.
Potable the DR? Where? Lucky to have water to clean with.
Then there is the dealings with morons at Migracion. I become a citizen to avoid those cretins.
Then we get to the very poor drivers with the worst education and accident rates in the region.
Then we get the people think it is OK to play there sound systems at 135 dB whenever they want to, motorcycles with the exhaust baffles removed and cars
with sound systems that cost more than the car.
The corrupt and deficient power company is tops on my list of bad things here. Followed closely by the water company.
Then we get to builders making promises they cannot keep, It looks like Casa Linda at Encuentro will be at least 2 years late in delivering to clients
that bought there. TWO YEARS LATE!
Then we get to the very corrupt legal system, the rampant influence of the drug running, and the expats themselves coming here
to hide from their crimes elsewhere.
And that list above is just off the top of my head. The DR is not for those will to adapt to all that and more. People can be isolated from this living in gated communities, but it is still best to rent before buy. And don't buy anything you cannot pay for in the morning and move into in the afternoon.
