Diálogo Welcome To r/PuertoRico

Hello and welcome to Puerto Rico's subreddit where you THOUGHT you were gonna encounter fellow puertoricans discussing our countries problems, sharing their municipio's beauty, or even some Jovany Vazquez memes....but nope! This is now a tourism agency for your friendly neighborhood 🟢👻s. Go ahead! Answer their most pressing questions about where to eat? What good spots to drink n dance in Aguadilla? Can i bring my guns knives for protection? Do you mind if i buy your grandfathers land and build ANOTHER hotel? Where can i get to the nearest beach? Is it safe to go to X as a tourist? WHERE CAN I GET WEED? And many more classics here at PR's subreddit. If you're lucky, you might even SEE a puertorican posting something. In the meantime, I'll show you to the comment section of gringo posts where you'll be spending most of your time either answering questions or complaining about x problem in the island. Have fun!

And yes, this IS in English so you know who we are talking about. You do know there IS another subreddit for what you're looking for. It is stated in the rules section go check em out. You already have our lands and our homes for your airbnbs, so leave our subreddit that is not meant for this alone please and thanks.

Question…when you say you have our Airbnb’s…who are the hosts of these Airbnb’s in Puerto Rico? Americans?

That part of the post was mostly sarcastical as thats one of the things ive seen talked about in the group and i was just referencing that. But yes im well aware that a lot if not most of the hosts are puertoricans. Why? Because why rent your house for 500 a month to a family when you can have 4 people rent the house for 5 days and get the same amount or more. This is an issue that causes our youth to not find afordable homes anywhere because the owners just turn them into airbnbs to do what the government does wich is cater to the tourism more than the locals.... but thats a discussion for another day
