I have more than ten years living in DR. 1) Live in a building with a generator solves the electricity issue. 2) Trash can be primarily seen in poor areas. I never lived in a neighborhood where trash was a constant eye sore. 3) Home internet service was very available and quite good depending what service one chooses to pay for. 4 and 5) I have to give it to you. The driving and the loud music is rude. However, keep in mind the only reason we don't drive the same way in America is because we pay the police quite well to enforce a conformist driving society. If you start raising the salaries of the police in the Dominican Republic it will offset the economy for sure. Driving in DR will never change if reform and paying the police a better salary doesn't change, also factor the corruption issue. Uber is a blessing in DR, and I know people that live in the city that have retired from driving and they use Uber all the time. Uber in DR is dirt cheap.

The amount of trash on the ground is a good indicator of whether a place is on the path to becoming a wealthy country or not. Singapore and Malaysia learned this lesson early and enforced measures to make people not trash the country. This changed the way people thought about the world, less self-centered. That in turn made them better more productive workers, wealth increased. People with more wealth want to live in better run countries which brings in more wealth to the country, they can improve more, etc... In countries like DR, Brazil, Philippines they have the world's best beaches. They could be fill of tourists spending money which could be used to build infrastructure, make lives better. But the beaches are trashed. People with money go to beaches where they aren't swimming in a landfill. Trash has absolutely nothing to do with being poor. The opposite is true. Many don't have jobs and sit at home pretty much all day. Poor people have the time to deal with their trash AND they don't have that much trash in the first place because they can't afford to buy endless crap. I hear this "oh, it's because they're poor". Complete BS. Rude drivers...same issue. Extreme self-centeredness. We love love love to make endless excuses for poor people. The reality is some people are just plain self-centered in the extreme. That makes them horrible employees which limits business investment. In the Philippines a person might only earn $6USD for a full days work, but you have to hire 5 to get the same amount of work done as a worker in a developed country. Nothing to do with race or wealth. It has to do with training and expectations. In the west we see how our parents work, businesses expect a high level of productivity and invest in equipment and training. In Philippines construction it is common to dump the materials on the ground and mix by hand getting dirt and leave into the mix making it weaker. Then shovel into buckets and pass the buckets down a long line of workers to where the concrete is needed. Extremely slow and you need a lot of workers. When a mixer is provided they prefer the old slow way...they get more hourly pay that way. If forced to use the mixer they do the mixing and then dump the concrete onto the ground and do the bucket thing. The mixers has wheels...it can be moved to where the concrete is needed. Or what is common in the US is to dump into a wheelbarrow to move it to where needed. My guess is climate has something to do with this. Living in a cold climate you have to earn money to have a good house and to buy fuel to stay warm in winter. If you don't you could likely die. A person really doesn't have a choice. In a warm climate you're good if you can find a little food. Overhead in warm climates is much lower. There is less reason to worry about earning money. And you'll hear it all the time "they're poor but happy". Well yeah, they live in paradise climate wise. Lots of food in the sea and growing wild. They're only poor if judged by developed country standards. Which is a better way to live? Living in paradise with little money or working 60 hours a week to make mortgage payments for a house you only sleep in? I don't know.

You are right on the money on these observations. Out of all the things you mentioned the one that irritate me the most is the lack of consciousness about throwing trash everywhere, the streets, the rivers, the beaches, everywhere, this is something preventable with a little bit of education and consciouness about the environment and one's own health. It's not rocket science to understand that trowing garbage on the streets and the rest of places I mentioned will harm everyone in the long run because the trash will contaminate the air, the drinking water sources, food supply etc and no one can control, for example, the air ones breath. So, by trowing trash everywhere you are harming yourself. The other 4 things you mentioned I can more or less tolorated, the electricity going out I can control with a secondary source of power, whcih I have, the Internet is really bad but hey, the music is not as bad if you can live in an area a bit away from the "barrios" a bit more upper level, the driving, good lord have mercy, the traffic rules is that there are no rules. Before one gets on the road a few hail mary should be recited and be on the look out for anything and everything you might think shouldn't be done while driving, they would do it there. If they had a traffic violation system where they could ticket drivers who break the traffic laws, I think the country would be able to pay its national debt just from the income generated from traffic tickets violations🤦🏻♂️.

DR is a developing country Most people get generators. The reason there are power outages is because the country has outgrown their current electric infrastructure. Government is in the process of changing current infrastructure and setting up to have better Power for the entire island with China. They are Getting 5G technology in 2022. Poverty is not an excuse to be a piggy! People throw trash because they are ignorant and not conscientious about the environment. Unfortunately most people that lived in very poor neighborhoods are ignorant and just don’t care, The government is currently launching a campaign to educate and increase awareness to maintain the environment clean . They are going to issue fines if they catch you littering .If you live in the Dominican barrió it’s like living in the hood here in the states , have you visited Harlem? . If you live in a poor neighborhood just like the states you’ll find the poor areas are usually filthy with trash and people play loud music and behave unruly , but n high class neighborhoods you are not going to get the noise and power outages. There’s a lot of classism in DR and locals will easily label you based on what area or part of the city you live in ! You should watch Dominican news to stay inform about the upcoming changes Noticias RD canal 4!

The electricity problem has been like that for more than 100 years. I don’t understand why the country produce enough solar power to provide electricity to the whole island. The garbage got worse over the years. I think people need to be educated and fine for throwing trash in every where.

I experienced noisy power generators as well as really quiet ones and cars pulling up playing crazy loud music at all hours versus really nice quiet streets at all times. So the issues you mention are valid but all can be avoided if you have the money to live in an area that’s suits what’s important to you. I LOVE Santo Domingo and will probably move there

So, after ben living herr for 10 years, I’ve learned a lot. 1. The electricity goes out because there isn’t enough power for everyone all the time. The amount of people living on this island has increased rapidly, and also take into consideration that this is a very corrupt country. So even though the government owned power company monthly receives billions of dollars in revenue, instead of upgrading and maintaining the power grid, for decades a lot of that money has gone into the pockets of a few government officials. So those two things together with the fact that more people consume more and more electricity, makes it very unreliable. 2. Trash, yes sadly the mentality is not to think about the environment or what happens with the trash if you throw it onto the street, that’s someone else’s issue, so why bother? And it’s also dependent where you live, in many tourists areas and privately owned area, they have it better controlled. 3. That is also dependent upon where you live. Where I live, I have fibre 100 mbit connection with possibility to have even better connection, so it all depends the area where you live, 4. Yes that is a very annoying thing, that they don’t respect other people’s lives with their over the top loud music. I’ve had neighbours in areas where I’ve lived that has had it so loud that the walls of my house is literally moving because of how loud it is. And ALL day and ALL the night. Especially during this time of year, Christmas and New Years, I’ve had neighbours that has had their loud ass music on for 3-4 days straight without turning it off for even 1 second. So imagine not being able to sleep for 3-4 days. And sadly many who act like that, and show little to no regards of other people’s health, if you try to go talk to them in a nice way, either you get threaten or you can even get beaten up. And although now it’s actually against the law since a couple of years ago to play very loud music, it all depends on how diligent or interested the local police is to those things, but you can always try to call them and see if they will take care of it. Or you could just simply move, I’ve done so 3 times already, and it seems that maybe I’ll have to do it again as it seems that they’ve built a bar just outside my bedroom window, so I guess if that’s the case, no sleep for me….. and finally 5. Yeah it’s totally crazy, but like someone else commented, why bother following traffic rules if not even the traffic police bothers enforcing it? I’ve got an example of the stupidity of one Dominican that also kind of show the lack of respect for their own and other’s life some show on the road. A man I was acquainted with had an very bad moto accident and had another friend on the back who unfortunately died, and he himself got severely injured, none of them had helmet on. So I asked him what he thought if they both had had a helmet on, if it wouldn’t have made a difference. And he answered that yeah his friend would probably still be alive. So I asked him if he was gonna wear a helmet when riding a bike. He just stared at me and asked, “No,Why?”. And one of the things that bothers me the most, is not how they drive, but rather, if they have an accident, they can’t accept the blame, but as a foreigner it’s always you who are in the wrong. I know to many who’ve been in accidents where themselves have been totally innocent, where mostly someone on a moto have crashed into them, and then they’ve had to pay the motorist’s hospital bill, a new moto, insurance etc. So although I’ve thankfully never had an accident, the day that happens, I’ll either just stop drive altogether or just leave the country as I’m not going to be taken advantage of just because someone who doesn’t care about their life decides to drive recklessly and crash into me and then I’ll be the one who has to take the blame and pay for everything. So that’s my two cents of those 5 issues you mentioned with living in the DR.

That was the answer from the airport security. The DR won’t see us again. Went out to buy some needed clothes. Pick out some clothes and told the lady I will get my wallet , come back and she renege on the quoted price and called me a liar 🤥. I say don’t go there.

From an outsider's perspective: Electricity has improved immensely. Probably better than Florida. Trash: from what I understand, beyond Santo Domingo and other cities, there isn't a systematic trash disposal system. It's even difficult to dump trash at a landfill. In other words, no one is picking up or accepting trash. That leaves two options - burning or dumping. This issue, from my observations, has improved over the years. Cell phones and Internet: definitely great in relation to population. As a resident of the US, I don't expect exceptional coverage once I'm in rural areas. Comparing population, I'd say D.R. has it better. Music and Driving - I'll group these together. It wouldn't be D.R. without these. However, I'll say with regards to driving, it's more of a consideration of who cares more about damage to their vehicle. Always give way to buses and mini-buses. They don't GAF. Let them in. And finally, how is the WATER not mentioned here? It's something to consider within your home, but also in a restaurant. If a restaurant washed something in tap water then it can really make the next day miserable for you if your immune system isn't accustomed to it. Thanks for your videos about D. R. I'm so glad you're able to enjoy this fantastic place.

I have spent 1 month there (San Isidro right next to the military airbase then Mirador sur) and I did not see trashes on the street. Maybe in some poor areas but the places I have been to, did not see (Villa carmen, bocca chica, Juan bosh, Downtown and san Isidro). And as for the internet, strange, when I was in the appartment in San isidro, the phone internet was just plain bad, but as soon as I stepped outside, it was perfect

Probably you should be living in a more expensive area. Where they are working people who respect silence in the evenings
