Costa Rica's American Replacement Rate Problem 🇨🇷

With so many Americans giving up on a life in Costa Rica in less than two years there, you might think that the expat population, or at least the American portion of it, in Costa Rica might be dropping. It's a reasonable hope. But the reality is different. The rate of Americans leaving Costa Rica has probably not changed much over recent years, this is likely a rather steady state rate that we are witnessing. So the demographic challenges that Costa Rica is facing today is probably the result of this, rather than being solved by this.

Talking to tourists coming out of CR I hear the same thing
1 to expensive
2 crime
Costa Rica is number 3 on the list of robberies internationally.
Great info as always!
Thanks!
“When World’s Collide”, I saw that film. CR is the Zyra planet.
This is one of the most important videos I have watched on this, thanks!!
wow, thanks!
You are fantastic
The difference here is the availibility of data - The 180 day visit limitation without residency (and the hash penalties in violation of that rule) takes all starried eyed "I want live here" people have to initiate residency process. Then you have data to make such claims.
With Nicaragua's liberal tourist policies you can not draw that data - You can interprit tourist data (days spent, land or air arrival etc etc) but it is subject to pretty big error.
BUT Nicaraguan numbers would be almost the same. I draw that conclusion from 20 yrs of (prior to 2015) Forum activity (Nica Living and The Real Nicaragua) and post 2015 (SJDS groups and Granada) FB groups that a good 2 or 3 out of 10 are still arround in 5 yrs. Many return for health reasons (Instant healthcare in Nicaragua is good, long term care not so much) or the honey moon phase wains and they "Got that run away thing" out of their system and return to their belief of "home"
My casual observation bares that out. I think the problem is people don't assimilate. They choose to hide out and not get acquainted with their surroundings.
I was in Nicaragua and Costa about two weeks ago and I heard out of the two Costa Rica is the most dangerous right now due to a higher murder rate. After El Salvador, Nicaragua is the safest in Central America right now but Nicaragua gets such a bad rep due to political instability. And forget the prices in CR. It's so much more expensive than Nicaragua.
It doesn't get a bad rap from political instability, that implies that there IS political instability. It's the most stable country in the region, definitely more than the US or Canada, but more than all of Central America, too. The bad rap is from fake news and propaganda from the US where things have become horribly unstable.
But also, political instability can't lead to a "bad rap" to an expat or traveler. That's not a factor that matters to anyone but a citizen. As a tourist, a change in government policy doesn't matter at all, you'd never be able to know other than watching political news.
Imagine someone saying "I can't go to Disney World this year, the Republicans might take over the majority in congress." You'd literally think that they were insane for being worried about political stability while considering a vacation or retirement destination as it doesn't impact you as a non-voter / non-tax-payer.
That people even mention political instability to you flags that they are intentionally trying to create fear where there have nothing to work with. If anything, that someone suggests political instability 1) exists where it's actually outrageously stable or 2) that political instability is something to worry about as a traveler or expat tells you something really important: that the person warning you themselves must believe the country in question to be super safe so they are resorting to something so ridiculous to try to drum up concerns. It suggests that they've got nothing to work with and are desperate to scare you.
I just recorded a short-ish video digging into what it means when the US State Department calls a country political unstable.
Your videos are too long, get to the point already.
Complaining against the algorithm makes no sense. if i make them shorter fewer people watch. so i can't just make them shorter just to make people unhappy.
@@ScottAlanMillerVlog I'm not complaining about algorithm's, I'm saying you are wasting everybody's time by not getting to the point.
@JR-cf3wh you are. you are telling me to do what the algorithm, which just tells us what people like, should be ignored. but people vote with views and longer does better than short on this format. so literally you are complaining about what the audience prefers
@@ScottAlanMillerVlog Boring, getting to the point doesn't take 20+ minutes
