But, is Cap-Haitian prepared to receive them? Is it better for an historical town where our country's story seems soo close to us to have modern quality housing?🤔 I don't think!
The historical part is only downtown. I’m not talking about that area & wouldn’t even expect to find a house in that area & definitely didn’t search in that area. Okap is larger than downtown. There are new homes being built each day & they are in the standard style (for the most part).
As always, great informative video Rutty. The other day I had a good debate with some friends and I was telling them whoever has property needs to be extremely patient with our crisis because properties in Haiti will be booming once we are stable. I say this with 1000% confidence because one of my great uncles has our family home in Pestel, Jeremie. Since the crisis of PAP got worst, between last January and now, he has had over 100 people asking if he wants to sell because the house was well-constructed, has beautiful garden and amazing yards. For the people also interested in architecture, urbanism, those will make good profits because either we want to admit it or not, many people from the Diaspora are making a return back home or planning it as they are tired of America.
I remember in OKap the electricity at the hotel was pretty much out between the hours of 11 and 2 inconsistently. This was a beautiful ocean view hotel. We didn't mind since we were out exploring during the day. I really enjoy Haiti. Shame what's going on in Port au Prince.
When i visited Haiti, I had the pleasure of riding with my hosts from PAP to OKap. The drive took maybe 8 hours along the west coast, then weaving through the mountains. It was a very memorable experience 😂
We drove through a small village where we were immediately stopped by a handful of residents who tried to charge us a toll. Lol. My driver maneuvered off the road and drove around the small gang. Hilarious 😂
The trash is not throughout the entire country, the countryside is clean and even some part of port au prince is clean. Google Tara's Haiti, MORNE cabrit, belle ville, petion ville, kenskoff, Montagne noir, etc. and towns in the countryside like cavallion, port salut, port Margot, fort liberte', camp perrin, grand anse, and more
@@josephLindor-ki7op every pocket in Haiti 🇭🇹 has a trash issue some worst than others we need waste management facilities to combat this issue in every suburb or burrow , Haitians typically throw trash 🚮 on the streets not good !
You are correct, baryè boutèy in Okap is disgusting....the trash is greater in populated areas ..Haiti needs several waste management systems. Haïtians love to play the issue down.
You know why 1 bedroom costs $ 1800 in Port-Au-Prince?Because we do not have government and everything is without control.People do whatever they want.
Spot on analysis. Besides Lea Market there is very few options for supermarkets. The roads are also in much poorer condition in Okap and the hundreds of three wheel taxis are a complete chaos on the roads. Okap could be so much more but the trash and lack of infrastructure make it very disappointing. That said it’s one of the best cities to live in Haiti, hands down. PAP is unlivable, a true nightmare in every sense of the word.
There are a lot of modern houses in okay but they are not for rent , most of the owners are living abroad and just have a groundskeeper looking over the home
Well all I can say Rutty you have to remember Au-Cap is a tourist place, even if you see a fewer modern housing a lot of tourist still come and go that's why its so expensive, plus like you said it's mostly safer than the south.
@@ruttybthe reason why okap is so trashy is because the city was built only for about eighty thousand people, and now a lot of people from the other side of Haiti moved there unprepared. and I also heard okap has a lots of squatters.
Thank you for sharing these information for us, I've learned a lot. My question is did you born in Haiti or the US? or Born in Haiti, raised and the US?
@@ruttyb I left when I was young as well. Your videos have taught me a lot about Haiti. How do you pay for healthcare? Forgive me if you have answered this question. I'm new to the channel. Love your vlog.
Peace, for the Prices of Apartments to be so high is it because they're catering to foreign businesses ? And if the next video could be on sites to visit in Cape Haiti. Glad you and your family are safe and thank you for the new video.
Several realtors told me the prices skyrocketed after the 2010 earthquake. There were lots on organizations working in Haiti & they were willing to pay high prices, especially since there was limited housing in PauP after the earthquake. The prices have remained high ever since.
In Port-au-Prince, I searched through all the Haiti real estate related hashtags on instagram. That’s how I found realtors. Some have websites. The link is usually on their instagram. For Okap we used referrals from friends & searched for realtors on Facebook.
I see au cap is a broken place I can believe they au cap haitien crumble au cap looks bad as far for upper potion ville is better than the rest of the country where you feel pretty much in the state.
They still charge annually. That’s what I was used to hearing growing up. Then I moved to Port-au-Prince & the modern houses were charging per month in USD. All the places we lived in the West we paid each month. But now we pay annually & it’s a good price.
Hi ruttey. Your like my biggest hope for moving back to Haiti. How are things looking from your point of view at this time. And will you continue to encourage and teach people about living in Haiti. Like what should be take from what is happening at the moment
Before the security issues I barely did anything in PV. Even the stores I went to were in other towns cause they’re more spacious & have more inventory than their PV location. For nightlife in Okap, everything is pretty much on the boulevard. I don’t go out much so it’s unlikely to see that in my vlogs. But I’ll be sure to show some of it.
Can you describe the system you have in place to generate electricity at your home? Are you using solar, generators? I'd be interested in a video describing and showing the private electricity and water you generate for your property.
In Okap, we use 2 48-volt lithium batteries, inverter, solar panels, & a generator. In Port-au-Prince, we had 8 lead acid batteries. We had to upgrade our system cause we don’t get EDH at all. For water, the house already had a well & pump installed. When we’re close to running out of water, we turn on the generator & the pump sends water to the water tank.
So far it hasn’t. Main issues are in the West Department & some parts of Artibonite. A few months ago there were some issues in Centre too. So 3 out of 10 departments.
Remember okap was the heart of the colonial error, so the houses are colonial french, just like New Orleans in the french quarter, but indeed okap needs modern built housing. Also, okap is very small and most modern places are outside of okap.
lack modern quality housing but overpriced, Huh? I wonder if they do that on purpose to keep other people from moving there for safety purposes which is smart but also problematic considering the lack of amenities
The people causing safety issues aren’t renting those kind of houses lol. They do it cause they simply can since there aren’t a lot of options. It’s just like the hotels in Okap that charge $160 a night, but the place looks rundown smh.
@@ruttyb I am trying to relocate my brother to Okap due to the insecurity in Haiti, i simply can't let him live there because I am worried all the time what are some sites I can look for a 1 bedroom if you don't mind sharing
In Okap, you have you find a house the traditional way. There aren’t realestate websites like Port-au-Prince. At times you’ll see some properties in Okap featured on those websites, but it’s rare. I recently saw one on haitibargain. I recommend looking on Facebook for realtors in Okap. They post pictures on there & usually have their phone number listed for more info.
The comparison doesn't match between Cap-Haitian and port-au-prince all the money we make in Cap-Haitian transfers or stolen by the mafia government of Port-au-Prince that's the reason why Port-au-Prince has market, hotels, and apartments than Cap-Haitian we love our city Cap-Haitian cheri
It’s okay to love Okap, but we can’t be delusional. The things you listed aren’t government owned. The markets, apartments, hotels, & etc in Port-au-Prince weren’t built by the government.
You right 💯. After the death of Henri Christophe, the mafia government purposely starved the North. Bc they fear that they would regain independence via finance
I didn't know Okap lacked modern quality housing. Sounds like a business opportunity to me....🤔
But, is Cap-Haitian prepared to receive them? Is it better for an historical town where our country's story seems soo close to us to have modern quality housing?🤔

Hi Rutty,
I like your hair.. . Thank you for sharing your experience in Okap with us.
To solve a problem you have to admit you have one
You know why 1 bedroom costs $ 1800 in Port-Au-Prince?Because we do not have government and everything is without control.People do whatever they want.
Well, we in the diaspora need to invest and try to met these demands.
"I won't know what I need until I go down all the aisles" 😂🤣...I can so relate...tfs...
5k to live in the middle of calamity? what is really wrong with them? lol

My aunts home in Fairmathe (if I'm spelling it correctly) is modern and the view is gorgeous! I just cant wait for things to improve to go back
It's Fermathe 😅
@gaellecorineelzapicard2311 Thank you sis 😅😊
@@nvital9671 my pleasure dear
They never show the nice area of Haiti in USA. All we see is crime and poverty.
The waste management problem is because of the many people that moved there. Okap was not ready for it and the resources are not available
There are a lot of modern houses in okay but they are not for rent , most of the owners are living abroad and just have a groundskeeper looking over the home
Always look forward to seeing a video from you, hope to travel to Ocap soon ❤
I wish the government would get it together and prioritize its people
Jovenel Moises was fighting to electrify the country as a result, he was assassinated.
Thank you so much for this insight
Thanks for the info, I went Okap last month, everything you’re saying is true … but it was a good trip overall thank God 🇭🇹🌴🎊🙏🏿
Looking extremely beautiful, Rutty! ❤
Thank you!!💗

Greed. Why the country is going to shit

Why isn't electricity on 24/7 in Haiti?? That's crazy!
30 years ago my mother's town had electricity 24/7. but now because of corruptions electricity is rare. and I'm talking about the countryside.

Could you do a video on how you budget living in haiti pls
How are you doing over there? I read that Americans have been evacuated to Miami. Apparently the gangs are attacking wealthy suburbs now
I wouldn’t say that’s anything new. When I lived in Laboule 10, there were gangs in Laboule 12 & up the mountain.

Nothing is a coincidence! A lot of it was planned by the people “leading” this country. I’ll talk more about it in my next vlog.
yes I noticed that today with the new developments I here. thank you for keeping us informed @@ruttyb
@@ruttybhey rutty. I'm suppose to cone to okap in mid March. How's the security. Hearing civil war talks of course more in Port au orince
Your flight is probably cancelled.
I have a lot to say! I keep my thoughts and keep watching your cute videos. Antouka Ayisyen mechan!
What don’t you want to comment on?👀👀👀👀👀
Girl so much too say!
Makes no sense why Haiti so expensive. When DR is right next door and cost of living is not as expensive.
I just filmed a video talking about the challenges I face living in Haiti & this is one of the topics!
I wasn't going to watch but the cover picture is my old school:Fanelie François. Wasn't with that ugly paint color before though 😅.
Hi Rutty. Lovely vlog. May I ask a question: What system do u have to get electricity? Do you use a solar system or a generator? Im just curious.
We use 2 48-volt lithium batteries, inverter, solar panels, & a generator (mainly to refill our water tank).
Are you ok?? Is it that bad there?
Yes I’m fine. It’s fine where I am. Everything on the news is happening in the West Department. I’m in the North.
Didn't realize there was much to offer outside of Petionville proper. Could you showcase some nightlife options for tourist and locals In OKAP?
Before the security issues I barely did anything in PV. Even the stores I went to were in other towns cause they’re more spacious & have more inventory than their PV location. For nightlife in Okap, everything is pretty much on the boulevard. I don’t go out much so it’s unlikely to see that in my vlogs. But I’ll be sure to show some of it.

Hi! Rutti thx for the infos, how much can someone rent a house in pleasance areas?
Idk about the prices but it’s a really small town. Not sure you’d find a house to rent there.
Yete $1800 for a 1 bedroom apartment in port au prince ayisyen pa gen tan sou moun. Ki kalite tenten sa?
How much does the stuff in port au prince spill over into the south ?
So far it hasn’t. Main issues are in the West Department & some parts of Artibonite. A few months ago there were some issues in Centre too. So 3 out of 10 departments.
