And who's parking at the front, along the right facing the rest of the cars?

Who knows what the target was. A poster above said there was no detonator. He may have been transporting ir somewhere else to use

The street sort of counts too. Licensing requires them to stop for accidents, etc

We're also not talking about taxes just for residency. The federal government doesn't collect property taxes. I'm just trying to say there is some effort to not burden them unduly with taxes. Do I think they should become a state: yes; barring that do I think they should they be excluded from entitlements: no. The issue of statehood is complicated. Historically referendums in Puerto Rico have failed. At least some are happy with the status quo

There is an attempt to conform to the taxation/representation issue, but it's never going to be 100%. Non-citizens and foreign entities are going to be subject to certain taxes within the US as well. At a simple level, there's no way avoid sales taxes. People have to pay sales tax in states they can't vote in either

That's not true. There are technically different classifications. For example, fees are specifically not taxes.

It also feels like it's something different because they aren't supposed to go into the general fund, but advance payment for specific benefits

Because they don't tax them. Puerto Rico doesn't pay federal taxes
