Presumably the government is getting paid in US dollars too, which is a nice fx source

Can Haitians generally roam free on private property?

What now? Do we call all foreign private ownership "giving away"? Poor article from The Economist telling us nothing other than rich travelers to Haiti don't want to deal with the downsides of it, which is a story as old as time.
- 0xfaded 7y agoMost western countries don't allow beach ownership, and technically the US doesn't either but has its loop holes. Some European countries even have the "right to pass" over private land if required to access to public land. I suppose the question worth asking is the average Haitian better off from the economic activity generated from the private parcel.
