A free cuba--Will real estate in Key West benefit or lose?

Quote from Longhorns:

What do you think would happen if over 1,000,000 mostly poor immigrants suddenly flooded into south florida?

The Mariel boatlifts were only estimated to be 120,000 people. You could easily see 10 times that many.

that would be enough to make me go back....


crime would skyrocket....there is a reason why things are this way...peace

Quote from ElCubano:

i disagree...not about the real estate prices. the amount of cubans waiting on the sidelines is rumored to be 1.2 million...i doubt that a fraction of that crosses over to cuba...Not one older person, and those are the ones who are more probable of going back to their mother land, have told me they would return. they have 50 years of life here more than they had in cuba why would they just pack up and leave their loved ones....on the contrary they would tell their people to come here where they are better off for now...peace

We spent a month in Cuba last year and we were told that there will be a massive outflow once restrictions are eased.
Floridan Cubanos will return to commence paperwork re properties etc but there is nothing else to return to on a permanent basis.
