is any of this spilling onto the islands?
It started on the cape when people started buying summer homes as year round residences. The price of real estate was pretty cheap, so low income families started flocking to the cape and getting out of the cities. Then they realized that it was pretty good living with the generous social programs down there and invited all their friends and families to move down from the city. The cape has become much more of a year round area recently, and as you build more and increase the population, crime increases as well. Having loads of illegal aliens living down there taking up jobs doesn't help either.
