I can see it without signing in... looks like the very worst living
conditions, like high rise penitentary barracks. I can't imagine that
anyone would freely choose to live that way, in C-ment cubicles... the
inmates must've all been convicted of some horrid crime so are being
punished.
When I visited my inlaws home in Belize everything was wide open, a
block from the sea and better weather than Aloha land. The house was
built up on pilings so no worry about hurricanes, the sea rolled in
underneath. We used a bedroom in the attic,

I owned that lot on the sea for a while but eventually sold it for a
pretty profit. I seriously considered retiring in Belize but it would
have been a big culture shock. Also there are no modern medical
facilities, and local foods were very strange to me, imported foods
cost a heap o' money. My wife could have lifed there without culture
shock but no one she grew up with was still there and she had become
very used to facilities in the US... she'd hate going to a Belize
dentist. Her grandfather was a dentist there and she hated going to
him. Today Belizeans that have the money fly to the US for medical
care etc. However Belize is a third world county so is lacking a lot.
But the people are happy there and there is little crime, no Belizeans
were in those caravans. A lot of Rostas live there but they bother no
one, they live on seafood and tropical fruits/veggies which are free
for the taking, and pot grows naturally so they are always high. Most
rostas live in tree houses on the beaches and in the bush. For money
many do crafts that they sell, we have several of their wood carvings,
very nice in rare tropical woods.
You do not ever want to go out into the Belize bush without an
experienced guide... same with going out onto the reef. The very best
was Chocolate, no one knew those waters better.
