Of course all of the Dominican jails are filled with 'low security' prisoners.
You know there've been over 200 views of this post and out of that one person has responded seriously.
I'm not saying that my proposal was THE answer but at least I made serious suggestion which is much more than I can say about most of the posts I read here.
What I really don't understand is why the trash issue hasn't been dealt with in the past. Clean streets, clean beaches = higher return tourist traffic = higher real estate values = more prosperity for everyone.
This really says something about the ex-pat community on this board. I'm reading that you love living here, you're scared sh*tless of the natives, you're happy you're not paying taxes in your home country and anything to do with real improvement here is soley the responsibility of the Dominican government.
