Agree statehood is the only fix, with a close second being NGO and similar efforts to get folks off the island to the mainland for better opportunities and quality of life. Anything else is a slow train wreck of despair over decades.

I live in Puerto Rico. Moving from here to the mainland is not a step up in quality of life, I can assure you.

That has not been the experience communicated to me by several Puerto Rican’s who relocated to central Florida. No work, crumbling infrastructure, and incompetent government was what I was told why they left.

To each their own (really; I wish you well if you have a good life there), but the emigration pattern is clear [1] [2].
