Following your point on 'rose coloured glasses' john, aren't WE the ones who are regularly accused of painting a 'rosier' picture so as to protect our investments?? Aren't WE the ones who play down the facts so as to make the DR more attractive to other 'wannabee' Ex-Pat?? If that is the case, then obviously the crime rate problem is BIGGER than what we are saying/posting about here??
I take your point about 'The Experts' who glean their information from "Reliable Government Data" (now there's an oxymoron) whilst they sit in a far off place checking out wikipedia each day & have to note this:-
A few weeks ago prices of oil had been coming down for a couple of consecutive weeks - therefore PRICES OF OIL WERE REDUCING. We ALL knew this was a true fact likely to last until the end of the year didn't we??
Yeah, ......... RIGHT!!!
(Sorry Chris. Don't understand your comment to Nals - are you saying that we that live here are making comments that the crime rate is REDUCING??? I don't agree with that & I don't think that YOU do either. YES, we are hopeful that Santa Claus will come with a strong & efficient police force this Navidad but being realistic ..................................... ~ Grahame.
