  1. They wish to bring in the "slow life" everywhere so as not to offend the new settlers. See below: "Slow living is a lifestyle which encourages a slower approach to aspects of everyday life, involving completing tasks at a leisurely pace. The origins of this lifestyle are linked to the Italian slow food movement, which emphasised traditional food production techniques in response to the emerging popularity of fast food during the 1980s and 1990s. Slow living encompasses a wide variety of sub-categories such as slow money and slow cities, which are proposed as solutions to the negative environmental consequences of capitalism and consumerism in alignment with the aims of the green movement. "The slow living movement also focuses on the idea that a fast-paced way of living is chaotic, whereas a slower pace encourages enjoyment of life, a deeper appreciation of sensory experiences, and the ability to 'live in the present moment'. However, slow living does not prevent the adoption of certain technologies such as mobile phones, the Internet, and access to goods and services."__Wiki on slow living

  2.  @smooth_pursuit  This became a big thing "south of the border" in the US, especially with those that stay in the many resorts where Buddhist doctrine is incorporated for the elite class (meditation and self-help classes). In the Caribbean, the slow life is a huge thing, and it's spoken of by and to the tourists. In reality, it's a lazy way of life, and it's wake when you want, and do what you want at whatever pace is agreeable to you, but don't forget to have your siestas through the day. This is what's behind working from home, and the ULEZ cities (C40).
