    Loíza gets its name from a Taino female chief, Yuiza, who chose the name “Luisa” after being baptized by the Spaniards. It began as a place to harbor escaped slaves from Puerto Rico and all over the Caribbean. But, despite its rich culture, Loíza is one of the most impoverished parts of Puerto Rico.Apr 18, 2018.

    It appears that Loiza is being targeted for possible gentrification. The disaster relief declaration that was issued on 9/21/2022 in response to Hurricane Fiona, excluded Loiza, while all their surrounding municipalities were included. How are the local artisans, small businesses, and people supposed to recover, and rebuild after the flooding? I love visiting Loiza and this episode on Loiza is magnificent!! My family and I always go straight to Piñones from the airport for food, drinks, and a quick swim.

  • @latrekistaboricuablogger7421

    As a Boricua who grew up in NYC and finally returned to Borikén last November, it's heartwarming to see the magic of Loíza on display here. Also very important to note that there's a growing population of Boricuas (here as well as outside of the archipelago) keenly aware of the gentrification and continued colonization of our land.
    Please come and remember that when you visit, you're on sacred land. Be mindful what AirBnB you choose, get out of VSJ (Viejo San Juan), visit mesmerizing Loíza and as many of the other beautiful 77 pueblos. Support LOCAL. Then take all of the memorable moments BACK with you (to your home). Please refrain from encouraging folks to move here and set up shop, taking advantage of tax benefits. As an Afro-Boricua, I proudly celebrate our rich roots, but it's NOT cool that people wanna move here, especially to Loíza, simply because they see Puerto Ricans and other Boricuas who "look like them." (note: there is a big difference between a Boricua & a Puerto Rican).
    Borikén is a beautiful land, filled with kind & loving people.

    • @krikit96
      @krikit96 Před 11 měsíci

      I would like to ask you, just for the sake of dialog and understanding, why is it not okay (in your opinion) for people of African decent to move to Loiza? If there is an appreciation and respect for the area and a desire to immerse oneself in the culture and community, what is bad about that? Not for tax breaks, not to change anything, but the desire to live there and move is just like If someone moves from one city to the other, or one state to another state... why is it not cool to move to Loiza?

    • @ilimari
      @ilimari Před 9 měsíci +1

      ⁠@@krikit96I think he was clear in his statement: because of GENTRIFICATION. If you don’t know what is, is when wealthier people move to a poor area and start improving the housing and community attracting more outsiders to live there and make new businesses, and then the locals has to close their stores and move from there because they can’t anymore afford living there… That’s already happening in other areas like Rincón and now apparently is happening in Loiza too.

    • @krikit96
      @krikit96 Před 9 měsíci +1

      @@ilimari I am well aware of what GENTRIFICATION is. What I'm asking is why can't a normal person who isn't there to gentrify anything come to live there? If I, say for instance, was trying to get out of Washington DC, and I just wanted to relocate to there... and I'm not improving housing or the area at all, just another normal person moving to the area and working and living every day... why is that not okay...?If I shop at the local stores and spend my money in the community, and I'm not getting any tax breaks... is that also problem?

    • @ilimari
      @ilimari Před 9 měsíci

      @@krikit96 no, that wouldn’t be a problem. That’s ok. The issue here is with people from the mainland moving to PR because of the tax incentives, and don’t aport really anything to the community aside from more airbnb that only benefits them. Lots of them only go there to buy houses to make them into airBNB and then they lie to the government saying they are living in the island when they are actually there for just a few months to get the tax benefits and then they go back to the States, ruining the local communities in the meantime because of gentrification. People in the island keep complaining about houses becoming unaffordable to them. They can’t even go to some beaches now because people from the States who bought houses in front of the beach made those beaches private when that used to be ilegal in the island. Beaches used to be public! There are lots of videos about this in CZcams. They call this problem “the Hawaiian effect”.
