Mike 🇬🇧 🇪🇺Maybe the saddest place we visited was Grand Cayman.
It's a tax exile land where there are no direct taxes.
Infrastructure seems to be paid for from a levy on new businesses as far as I could gather.
The local government imposes length of stay restrictions on non-residents, even so - I asked a tour guide why people ever left such a paradise?
She said that the locals are treated as a minority by the (white) temporary residents and the predominant financial industry means that there are few jobs and that the cost of living is phenomenal.
It seems that tax avoidance has a cost to everyone - who would have guessed?
