Comments to Steve Sailer:
* It’s as if the writer thinks that PR’s economic stagnation and high crime are like bad weather—just unfortunate local conditions that people should move away from—rather than characteristics of the people themselves.
* Yes, it is the same with housing vouchers (Section 8, etc) on the mainland. Bad neighborhoods are like bad weather, don’t you know? If taxpayers simply pay (lots) to relocate the residents of bad neighborhoods into good neighborhoods, the next thing you know, those people will be well-behaved, highly-educated, gainfully-employed, and listen to classical music instead of hip-hop.
