As a Costa Rican I'm grateful you chose a different country, we have way too many expats here, gentrification is out of control at this point, it's impossible for a local to own property, specially close to a beach. Panama, Colombia, Nicaragua and other countries around have the same weather and are way cheaper to live in. Tourism advertisement worked a little too well for us, but we need tourists to LEAVE afterwards.

truth is.... that's false. Nicaraguans hate leaving but american embargoes have left little job options. it's unfair and dishonest to claim nicaraguans want to leave. that's a colonial american narrative to belittle and disgrace latinos. and similarly things aren't the best in CR but that doesn't make ticas not want to retain their history and heritage. they just want it to improve. but there's a reason we talk constantly about all the people trying to move from CR to Nicaragua. outside of getting a job, never heard of someone actually wanting to go the other way. it's just not reality no matter how much the US and CR try to brow beat everyone into believing.

@ my friend then why are there hundreds of thousands Nicaraguans in CR, and many more from the last 40 years? I’m Latino, that’s the reality of the region, very corrupt and terrible governments, people run away looking for better life, and NI is the top most messed up countries, while CR is in the top 3 best countries to live in Latin America, not saying there aren’t any good things in NI, but definitely not the best destination.
@ScottAlanMillerVlog4 күн бұрын
You say it is not the best, but you point to something unrelated. Nicaraguans leave Nicaragua due to US intervention creating a lack of jobs to encourage them to move abroad and flood them with propaganda to make them believe that riches exist outside their boarders. No one is saying Nicaraguans aren't tricked or forced to move abroad, that's absolutely true, but to then connect that to Nicaragua having negative things (outside a lack of jobs created by the US and its allies) going on is false and THEN to make it sound like somehow that's a negative for expats is really extreme. If anything, and this is selfish and I'd never hope for this to happen, but the people moving out makes it better for expats because it makes housing cost less, labor cost less, etc. kzbin.infoi8pidjSNhaQ Expats are always looking to come to Nicaragua from CR, not the other way around. DId you watch my immigration paradox video from last week? Everything you are stating is refuted and explained in that video already. We've addressed why it is like it is from both directions. CR is a great place, but you can say good things about it directly without having to try to make it look good enough by tearing down Nicaragua, especially using misleading facts and by making it sound like being oppressed is their own fault.

Here's my personal take on CR: the hot spot is the capital, not the beaches. All the countries in teh region have similar beaches. They are nice, and if you have to pick just one place, sure CR is a good choice. But if you are traveling through Central America, beaches start to repeat, more or less. But the big cities, they are unique. That's where so much of the culture and activities are and what makes the country special. Chepetown (San Jose) is pretty different than any other city in CA, don't skip it.

Costa Rica "could" execute all expats. It's a government, if it is going to break the law, it can do anything it wants. But it isn't going to. Nicaragua has a really strong history of property law. Saying you "can" take a house means nothing, all governments "can" do that. IT's a scare tactic that exposes how little actual there is to say bad, it's the US gov't playbook on "what to say to invoke an emotional response in people who don't understand politics, law or history." And it really only works on uneducated Americans where it IS easy to take people's houses and so it's easy to trick Americans into thinking it is easy other places. But it's disrespectful to Americans to attempt to manipulate them that way. It's offensive, and it's extra offensive to say it to me, when you know very well I know better. So who are you trying to trick with a misleading statement like this? Anyone who understands what you are doing, knows you are actually exposing a panic response.

Si tu fuente de ingreso está en los Estados y tu idea es de retiro en vejez, pues da igual donde vives. Pero ni en pedo Nicaragua va ser un lugar con seguridad jurídica para hacer negocios para alguien joven, emprendedor, inversionista y adquirir calidad de vida. Jamás, vas a tener garantía sobre tus negocios o inclusive tus bienes en ese país. Pero si lo que tienes es una parcelita con una casita humilde, pues obviamente pasarás desapercibido (eso aplica casi para cualquier país del mundo). Pero en el momento que empieces a ser medianamente exitoso, pues ahí sí no encontraras Nicaragua para nada agradable de forjar una vida. Existe una razón clara y evidente porque hay tanta migración en Costa Rica. Y no es por mera ''popularidad''. Si hablamos de regiones, pues obviamente la peor para vivir una vida tranquila sería la GAM (gran area metropolitana). Pero eso igualmente aplica para cualquier país. Así que por eso la GAM no es ni de cerca el mejor ejemplo de regiones para tener calidad de vida en ningún país. Costa Rica es uno de los países con mejor Seguridad Jurídica de todo el continente. Lo cual lo convierte en una de las primeras opciones (si no la mejor) en toda latino américa, para forjar vida para alguien joven. Para alguien retirado de laborar, pues da igual donde. Nicaragua pues es tranquilo si llevas una vida humilde siempre y cuando tengas tu bolsillo para tu vida ya asegurado. El problemas es que puede llegar a ser ''muy'' humilde la vida ahí.

As a business person in NIcaragua, I'm unclear what you are trying to say. ONe of the reasons we prefer to be here is that there is such strong legal protections. To Americans Nicaragua is a good place to do business, Costa Rica we are always warned about the corruption in the legal system and the problems of foreign investors having their businesses taken from them. I understand that people spread disinformation and am completely open to Costa Rica being a victim of false info, the same as people saying this about Nicaragua. But coming from America, I know there is pressure on Americans and COsta Ricans to have to say negative things about Nicaragua because people are scared of their governments.

You cash out in a bubble and invest where people aren't overpaying. The whole point of this video is explaining the factors of Costa Rica being overinflated and you not getting the same value for your money. This is exactly what people did to try to sell me houses in the US, saying sure they are the highest that they have ever been but there is nowhere to go but up! Of course, they crashed and people lost a fortune. I'm a career wall st. guy, my mother was a full time trader, I know that investing is about logic and math, not emotion. You never buy when the public thinks it is good, the public is not wise nor logical. You look for where the public fears to go, because they are easily manipulated and foolish. That's where the smart investors always go, and always have. Basic investing practices have never changed, and won't. I understand that it feels like places that are at the bottom of the cycle are risky, but humans are really bad with risk and tend to feel safe doing risky things and are scared to do safe things. That's why emotions in investing are so dangerous.

Nicaragua is a beautiful country, cheap and their people are very nice and welcoming. That is the end, even you know you can not freely speak about everything in your videos otherwise you will end up trouble and likely banned from entering the country ever again. So if you are willing to sacrify your freedom, freedom of speech to live a humble and cheap life, then go for it. But is no wonder why there is so little international investmen in Ni compared to CR. CR just has the strongest democracy and freedom in almost the entire continent. Any company investing in CR knows his investment is as safe as in any developed country, but that cant be said about NI. Not long ago (2018) there was an almost civil war in Ni where hundreds of civilians died (killed by the Govmt) and there has been a whole bunch of these wars in NI, well not just NI, but almost all Latinamerica, but no CR. NI has lower crime because of this, for good or bad, the Govmt controls everything and everyone. In CR you have more crime because everyone has rights, unfortunately criminals included. So definately NI is a nice place to visit and do tourism at a lower cost, but to live is a whole different story, just ask any one living there if they would rather live somewhere else and make the same question in CR, you will be surprised that is completely the oposite, no one wants to leave CR, but in NI, they want to live anywhere else

@esau82 if that were true, why is all the media talking about how Costa Rica is fine for the expats but unaffordable for Costa Ricans. And why are all the Nicaraguans scared of becoming like Costa Rica? It's easy to say that being expensive is the same as being rich. But the poorest Nicaraguans can afford healthcare that even "affluent" Americans cannot. More British are below the poverty line and face starvation than Nicaraguans. That in no way says Nicaragua is rich, the point is that countries with high income are often poorer than the poor countries in tangiable ways. The amount of income Costa Ricans bring in doesn't matter, at all. The size of the economy, just doesn't matter. What matters is the quality of life and what we hear from Nicaraguans is a fear of their qualify of life falling to be like Costa Rica and constant reports from Costa Ricans that they are angry with the state of the economy for making Ticas unable to afford living in their own country, the same problem found in Belize. Dead people are shown all the time here. Not sure what the Costa RIcan media is telling you, but we get that stuff all the time. This is a small country, like CR, someone being killed can't be hidden. When a murder happens the government announces it immediately, and people spread it on private news networks rapidly. What you're being told about the media is demonstrably false, what gives you such a skewed idea? Is that what the news in Costa RIca is feeding its people? I doubt it.
