Giiiirl that's LA! Their minimum wage is $12/hr. Guam's is <$9. And other things in comparison to LA are more expensive here (gas, fresh food, etc.). The military and colonization in general have priced locals out of their land and housing.
Well the thing is, if you decolonize, then you get to decide who gets access to things like land ownership. I would assume that having the person have residency on Guam for a certain number of years would include settlers like the ones who grew up on Guam and have Guam roots.

Guam is more Westernized in that sense. To me the problem with free ownership or no residency requirement means people with money get to decide who owns the land and it drives prices up and allows Mark Zuckerburgs to swoop in and snatch swaths of land up, develop it & charge more

As a settler here, would you feel screwed if you couldn't own land and more natives owned land? Genuinely curious.
