We surfers tend to see the country side not the cities.
Away from San Juan PR it is third world.
Look at income, infrastructure, crime, education, healthcare.
Recent events showed just how third world PR is.
Fact;
Economic depression PR
Between 2007 and 2017 Puerto Rico’s gross national product (GNP) declined by 14 percent, and in 2015, 46 percent of the population lived below the federal poverty line, compared to the U.S. national average of 15 percent. [19] |
NATO aligned =s 1st World
Soviet Bloc aligned =‘s 2nd World
Unaligned =‘s 3rd World
Median income ~$1,000 =‘s 3rd
Puerto Rico median income ~$23,000
Plus, you know it’s part of the US right?
To call it 3rd world would be like saying Arkansas and Mississippi are 3rd world which might be a valid argument.
NOTE: I am not disparaging Arkansas or Mississippi. Just the first two states that popped into my head.
