What is being discussed is the steps necessary to put them back to where they were...that is what we'd do for any state or city hit by a disaster. PR has a tougher road to hoe because it is an island. People can't just obtain resources by driving to a nearby city that is not as badly damaged. At the very least the corps of engineers should be on site helping restore electricity and water.
Look at the effort put forward to help the Japanese when they were hit by the earthquake and Tsunami. The US military put enormous manpower into helping them.

What real worth in trying to put them back to a half assed 1970's standard? Their infrastructure and electrical grid being in such piss poor condition is a major contributing factor in the abject ruin they find themselves in now.

Which would explain the difference in rebuilding times as well to anyone interested in anything than whimpering about Trump being a racist.
People can't just obtain resources by driving them there from other places like they can in Texas and Florida. Being an island it has to be accessed by sea or air. But guess what is directly impacted by a hurricane hitting an island, bugeye?
Wanna phone a friend? Poll the audience or something?
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!
Yep......Sea and air ports.
Rebuilding them in order to get supplies in to rebuild everything is gonna take longer. Anyone who has ever actually worked would know this, so being it is you, not knowing this is forgivable.
