Seriously? Pablo Escobar has been dead over twenty years. Using your logic are you still scared of traveling to Oklahoma City because of the Timothy McVeigh?

In another decade or two, I'll bet that Havana would top this list. Proximity to the US, low cost of living, tropical weather (and you can get out for hurricane season), and a surprisingly robust healthcare system that stands to greatly improve once there's access to greater investment.
