: Note to all thinking of moving to St. John. DON'T. You overtax the natural resources, create more roads, sewage, pollution. It is mostly a Nat'l Park now, but soon it will resemble its ugly neighbor, St. Thomas.
I just love it when people who are aready there say something like that. As if they aren't part of the problem. I would say dont go because the people there are not to friendly. They just want to hustle you around get your money and get you out as fast as they can. Bring on the cruise ships.
