Not surprisingly, expulsion and emptying are also associated to a spike in the settlement of American whites, particularly entrepreneurs, property owners, and other “men with capital,” a development that previously occurred on a smaller scale in Vieques after the Navy left and is playing out in Barbuda, another island hard hit by a 2017 hurricane and out migration (Barbados Today 2017), where capital is exerting pressure to privatize communally held land (Falola 2018). As of 2012, about 500 millionaires had reportedly moved to Puerto Rico, after the local legislature passed substantial incentive packages that included no capital gains or dividends taxes and only a 4% tax on businesses (BBC News 2015). Even the hurricane’s aftermath has not dampened this enthusiasm: On January 13, 2018, the New York Times reported that young cryptocurrency millionaires are increasingly “moving to Puerto Rico to get around paying taxes” (Bowles 2018).
