	RE: Economics and Tourism By rewired, 12 hours ago	General/Relocating
	I thought the difference in survey styles was interesting. Economic development and tourism wants you to 'spell it out' and required written answers to all but one of the questions. It does look like ...
	RE: Economics and Tourism By stjohnjulie, 15 hours ago	General/Relocating
	I didn’t find it surprising the the economic development was tied to tourism survey. It’s pretty clear that we need to diversify our economy so we don’t so heavily rely on tourism. Which will be har...

	They tried a scooter rental place near Havensight on STT at one point and it was a DISASTER. The scooters couldn't make it up the hills, got stuck, or crashed.

	Posted by: @dougtamjj There are many wonderful single 20 and 30 year old people in the USVI. I think the replies you are getting are excluding the majority of the population which is mostly West Indi...

	Hard to find any positives to their questions.
	RE: Economics and Tourism By stjohnjulie, 2 days ago	General/Relocating
	Thanks for posting. I took the first survey already but just took the second one. I like that they are putting these out. I hope they can do a bigger outreach and get people to take the surveys and ...
	RE: Questions regarding Relocating to St. Thomas By stjohnjulie, 2 days ago	General/Relocating
	It’s that I don’t Recommend them for here. Our roads are not so great and they are hilly and with frequent brief rain showers they seem to come out of nowhere it makes road conditions even less favor...

	If residents do find that economic/Tourism survey worthwhile you might also consider responding to the current VIPD survey on Community Engagement SURVEY
	RE: Questions regarding Relocating to St. Thomas By jaldeborgh, 2 days ago	General/Relocating
	I’m not typical in that I own 4 Vespa scooters up in MA, ranging from 50cc to 300cc, we use them as a family around town where parking and traffic are problematic. They're fun and capable in the hand...
	RE: St. Thomas Update? By jaldeborgh, 2 days ago	General/Relocating
	Best of luck, I’m just getting started on STX so we’ll see what happens. I’m looking forward to no more New England winters.
	RE: Economics and Tourism By jaldeborgh, 2 days ago	General/Relocating
	Thanks, I completed the survey.
	Economics and Tourism By Exit Zero, 2 days ago	General/Relocating
	I am not sure if this forum is the 'best' place to post this BUT I do feel that many residents frequent and respond here -- so it may get removed but also may get REPOSTED by people who do know a bett...
	RE: St. Thomas Update? By vicanuck, 2 days ago	General/Relocating
	As someone who has lived and owned a business in the VI for 16 years, I'm actually looking forward to moving back to the mid-west where we own another home. We've considered Florida and other warm sou...
	RE: Questions regarding Relocating to St. Thomas By stjohnjulie, 3 days ago	General/Relocating
	I wouldn’t recommend a scooter. But they do have driving schools on St Thomas that could also teach you. My son uses a driving school on St Thomas and he took a classroom class and after a couple o...
	RE: Questions regarding Relocating to St. Thomas By jaldeborgh, 3 days ago	General/Relocating
	Not sure if you have spent much time in Asia but scooters are used everywhere and depending on the country in numbers it's hard to imagine, in all types of weather and on roads that are often more tre...

	Thank you all for your kind suggestions. @Alana33 I will be working at UVI, I think the safari buses start from there, if I am correct? I am thinking of finding a place at Charlotte Amalie, hopefully ...
	RE: Questions regarding Relocating to St. Thomas By Exit Zero, 3 days ago	General/Relocating
	No ONE who has ever lived on STT would recommend a 'scooter' to a new arrival, an inexperienced driver or really, -- anyone else -- the topography is not scooter friendly - they are notoriously under...
	RE: Questions regarding Relocating to St. Thomas By jaldeborgh, 3 days ago	General/Relocating
	Posted by: @baopham1194 I still do not know what could be expected when I arrive at STT. The best way to get an understanding of STT is to visit the island before making a decision to move. It's st...
	RE: Questions regarding Relocating to St. Thomas By Alana33, 3 days ago	General/Relocating
	Buses and $2 Safari taxis follow specific routes and times. You either walk to bus stop or stand on side of the road to flag down a safari. They do not traverse all areas of STT. There is no bus or sa...
	RE: St. Thomas Update? By jaldeborgh, 3 days ago	General/Relocating
	I just checked and discovered that as of 2017 16% of the population in the US were 65 or over, this is predicted to reach 22% by 2050, so the retired segment of the overall population is significant a...

	Good day everyone, I have just migrated to the U.S. mainland for a few months and found a job available for me at STT, which requires me to settle on the island. While I am pretty much used to the new...
