As a vacation destination PR is up there with Hawaii beautiful beaches, rainforest good fishing proximity to Virgin Islands (also DR and Haiti bad with the good ya know)

But in reality it is all but a state now...PR gets a lot of tax dollars ....Dems will be for it cuz itd be two more democrats in the senate a few more in the house.

As a tourist destination it would likely make it more expensive to go

from a military standpoint its an advantageous position but in the world of long range warfare prolly not much plus we already have bases and FBI there among other stuff.

It will be money sink, itll never be a profitable move for the USA as a whole but as I said dems will buy some positioning for sure. Soon as a hurricane demolishes San Juan USA will be on the hook for even more...Its just a majot Hurricane away from being a Haiti but the idea that it is currently a slum is wholly incorrect.

Its kinda like that beach house that you like to rent and visit but its just too pricey to own
