In most of these so called ISOLATED COMMUNITIES.... you as a couple will stick out like a sore thumb. That means others will judge , etc. You may not care but be sure some of your neighbors will become nosy and might influence her. They might even attempt to school her and cockblock you. To survive she will assimilate. Immigrant community= SLOW assimilation.

Sounds like a personal CRACK lol. Although Brooklyn is the 2nd most expensive US county after Manhattan (3 out of the 10 most expensive counties is in Nyc), immigrant communities are imho actually the best since they don't get home sick and nothing unique about your situation because of the diversity. In Montana less opportunity but other issues.

Solution might be to live on Mexican border in Mexican jurisdiction. Than you can visit SD whenever.
I wouldn't want to do that to someone.
3rd country (Mexico, DR) means homesickness but NO Alphas that can overthrow your rule.
IKE mentioned living in Italy, there are Filipinos there as there are in most other places. There used to be a big congregation of them hanging out in a park in front of Roma Termini on Sunday afternoons, nowadays I bet you can find a lot of community news on the internet.
