Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The prices elsewhere is irrelevant. If there is 1 thing that is not movable it's precisely a house. One doesn't buy a building but rather a location. The price of real estate is about the infrastructure available.

Anyway, even if it wasn't about location, location, location (the 1 rule in real estate) here the point is about citizenship, not actual houses. FWIW St Lucia is a beautiful place but... step out of a luxury hotel and see what happens. GDP per capita is low ($15K) and Gini coefficient is high.
