    Many are gang related or at least the majority are known to police.
    From the names of those killed, it appears many are Chinese, Russian, Vietnamese and Indian. They have had problems like this before and it seems to have to run it’s course. For every shooting there is a retaliation until they run out of angry young bodies.
    There was a long run of East Indian shootings several years ago by two young drug pushing gangs, but they eventually killed off the bravest and the war stopped.

    Part of the problem seems to be no one in that community wants to talk so it is difficult to prosecute anyone.

    I personally know several Ticos who have moved back to Costa Rica after living in the US for several years. I can’t think of any Americans I’ve met who have moved back to America after living in Costa Rica for a few years.

    I have one that I can’t get my gardener to use. Bought it last year from Abonos Agro but my gardener prefers to use a line trimmer for the whole yard? Old dogs and new tricks I guess.

    My understanding is she would be able to start up a private school and operate it but not to work in it or take a wage from it. She could be paid dividends from it though.

    The difference with a condo is you can fix up the interior the way you like it. With a fractional, you have to have the agreement of your partners to even change the paint color.

    One difference I can see is building repairs and maintenance. With a time share that is all included, but with a fractional, who decides what needs doing and at what cost.
    If one owner says something needs repairing but the others don’t want to spend the money, do you vote on letting it fall apart?
    What if you really don’t get along with your partner/owners?

    It might work for some, but having been in partnerships, I would like to choose who I invest with.
