Why BI beats BZ (Big Island vrs Belize)

[durian]

I was asked by another forum member about Belize and thought I ought to answer in a new topic. Perhaps there are others contemplating making the move one way or the other.

I left BZ after encountering the 4th well camoflagued deadly fer de lance snake on my farm in Cayo in a less than 2 month period.

Durian, just wondering what part of Belize you are from ? I spent time in Placencia. " Turtle Inn" was one of my projects. I too chose B.I. over Belize for many reasons.

They have guns in Belize of course, but the common weapon is the machete.

I have often thought about the costs of Hawaii and the costs of Belize.
My first instinct when I think of a couple of masked guys stopping me on the road in Belize, pointing a gun at me and taking the 20 dollars I have is, "Man, I have got to move to Hawaii. This just doesn't happen in Puna."
The only problem is that I will have to pay 100 000 dollars more for the same quality land in Hawaii, equivalent to being robbed on the road 5000 times. In all likelihood in Belize, I would be robbed on the road less than 10 times in my life.
But a bad snake can end your life in 20 hrs in BZ and such snakes don't live in HI.
