I appreciate your words. In reality, the island where I live is governed by the same laws as the entire archipelago, it is not like the China-Hong Kong relationship, which is a country with two systems.
The hydraulic infrastructure is regular with irregular water supply via aqueducts in populated areas, water wells in rural areas and a cistern and elevated tank system in adapted rural communities, which used to be internal educational centers and then were adapted to housing, something crazy but it is like that.
The electrical system is independent of the National Electric System (SEN), so when there are problems with the SEN, we do not have problems.
The internet has, to a certain degree, better features and connectivity than on the big island. So much so that I have been able to install and use, after the logical synchronization, the node wallets: Blixt, Breez and Zeus.
Due to the number of inhabitants and the grouped population settlements, we think that the development of a circular economy is more likely here than in the rest of the country.
We hope to have good news on this matter.
in adapted rural communities, which used to be internal educational centers and then were adapted to housing, something crazy but it is like that.
Are you saying the reason people live there is because of the prior presence of internal educational centers?
Were these free colleges?

I'll tell you the short story. Students from Africa and Asia were concentrated here, supposedly to educate them, but in reality it was a very lucrative business for the government here. In addition, there were Cuban students living there in a supposed work-study program, but in reality they maintained the agriculture in exchange for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as if they were slaves. I experienced this when I was 12 years old. They gave me a machete that was my size to cut the grass and I carried 100-pound sacks of potatoes when I weighed only 60 to 80 pounds.
Over time, this system was dismantled and these buildings were abandoned. They began to be used to solve the housing problem and also to force the people who live there to work in agriculture for precarious wages.
That is the true story of these adapted communities.

That was my suspicion.
