The limited housing, due to overvaluation and prioritization of tourism companies, has made it difficult for Puerto Ricans to purchase homes, resulting in the forced displacement of Puerto Ricans to the U.S. to the extent that there are now more of us Puerto Ricans here than on the mainland. The privatized roads, beaches and other assets should instead be zones protected as natural resources. There are increases in essentials such as water and tolls and the outright sale of the national university, Universidad de Puerto Rico (UPR).

    My third day with no power! Luckily I live in San Juan where local business are open with generators (even more lucky that I can afford this). But replacing the electric grid is stupid, it will always come down again. We need solar (for everyone).
