CR, where the affluent meet the effluent.

Chinchilla heralded a new era that was a bridge too far for this gringo.

That´s not to say though that I don´t dearly miss those decades in CR.

The Argentine default of 01 quickly brought a tripling of the $ exchange, and presently it´s 15/1 black market.

Should that type of change come to CR, I´ll be back in Rohrmoser.

disgusted you probably saved your life by that smart move away from your Quinta and into a much safer condo. So many Quinta dwellers are being picked off and killed by these savages. It’s almost like the Indians did to the settlers of the old west . Is scalping next?
Fight back and they will put you in prison with trumped up laws designed to get rid of the Gringo and to steal his property.
Returning to the USA is a really good option. There are sooo many beautiful areas in the USA. Beautiful clean rivers in the mountains of the Carolinas and that part of America. The Rockies, WOW! And it’s SAFE man. Safe. You won’t get attacked and have your property stolen by trumped up laws. I mean living in Hillbilly Holler is better than Tico shitville. At least the laws are in place. And they mean something.
Blue Ridge Mountains ,West Virginia,…Shenandoah River. Rocky Mountain High,… Colorado.

You are smart. You sold before it got extremely hard to sell. Oh selling is not too hard if you want to give your hard earned property away for a song.
Now there are so many properties out there for sale at low prices. I mean really beautiful properties, CHEAP! After all this country is absolutely beautiful, it’s the people that mess it up. Look, most readers here are of European descent. Educated and accustomed to living in much different , advanced societies. Societies where the rule of law means something and where there are consequences for bad behavior, thievery, noise pollution. River and land pollution. I see Ticos pour used oil directly into these once pristine rivers. Running toilet tubes directly into the rivers.
Do you realize the water under one of the 1st bridges you cross as you enter Jaco comes from the sewage of Central Valley? It is an actual sewer full of shit running directly into the ocean next to that big name Hotel there on the N. end beach. The beach goers of Jaco are swimming in raw sewage . Anyway I could go on and on. These people are hundreds of years behind European people and actually will NEVER amount to a hill of beans. They have the good fortune to have been born into this incredible country and now that “Gringos” are bailing out they will go downhill FAST!!! To Hell in a handbasket as it were. Good riddance.

I just hope they don’t find out that I am actually a disgruntled employee of the Fat Dutchman. ( I’d hate to lose my job over this)

Side note, for your own safety – such comments can land you in extreme legal trouble in Costa Rica, including prison. You should be thankful we deleted them, to be honest.

Thank you for your reply and understanding. These are issues that we have to take very seriously, which I think you now understand. Your comment was the first we have had to delete in many, many months. We are all for complete free speech, but we will not and cannot (even from a legal standpoint) allow any comments to stand on our site that even imply violence, in any form. We appreciate your understanding. It had nothing to do with “censorship,” I think you can tell by our comments section that we are extremely tolerant in allowing people to express their views. Please just keep this in mind for the future. Best, Tim

Ok Timothy, I am sorry to be thought of as inciting violence. It was entirely uncalled for to actually incite violence even though it was not a serious attempt to incite violence I absolutely see how it could be thought of as such. I didn’t realize the extent of my comments. Of course it was a joke because I didn’t imagine for even a minute that any assassins would pay any attention to my comments as they surely have their own agenda which wouldn’t be swayed by someone they didn’t know or have any dealings with. However I can see how my comments could be misconstrued as serious. So I hereby denounce any attempts either real or imagined as to inviting or inciting any violence against or aimed at anyone either real or imagined now and in the future.
