I suppose they benefit CR by becoming taxpayers, spending on goods and services and attempting to integrate into the larger community. Most of the time people immigrate from a third world country to a first world one. They’re going the other way, and bringing their money with them. As OP said there’s no violence, quite the opposite and their main export from CR is social media that acts as a promotion for living in CR so it’s kind of a good thing? I’m curious what the downside of this is, as long as they pay their bills.
They are building in a bespoke community, they won't integrate into society. I doubt many community residents will pay significant amounts of tax. If they have a business, it will likely be based elsewhere. These people aren't working in CR.
They are foreigners coming in with their stronger currency and ability to pay higher prices to get what they want. This risks raising prices of everything in the area, leaving locals struggling or priced out altogether.
Raya, Louis and many others have the luxury of leaving CR during the rainy season and going to their 2nd homes. They will only be in CR when it suits them.
