Good point I am often amazed that people invest here. I am invested and have been living here for over 1 1/2 years and have likewise heard ,seen and been part of endless day to day corruption and crime. The police do not exist unless you pay them or unless they make you pay them. Tourists constantly get forced to pay enormous amounts of money when they themselves are the victims, the lawlessness, the lack of stability and electricity and the list goes on. And yet Eropean and american invetors continue pouring millions into Cabarete. Perhaps the lawlessness saves them millions in normal costs and payoffs and the problems with infrastructure and gov't are reasons they do invest knowing that htese wil be things of the past in 10 or 15 years and then their returns will be out of this world
