Looking for the perspective of anyone that has lived anywhere in the USA and moved to Puerto Rico. What's it like, what's different, what's nicer, what was unexpected, and would you recommend the move?

The US is a shit hole and PR has no support from the mainland while also having to be an island in hurricane Alley. It's not worth it.
