Fascinating place, Point Roberts. I've read a number of people from surrounding localities go there for cheap goods (Canada has 12% VAT, US does not). Also, I heard, popular with witness protection since you have to cross the border control to drive in there (which could be a problem for somebody who is a felon).

Surprisingly, not always.
American hockey players (or coaches) playing for Vancouver often choose to live at Point Robers to avoid paying Canadian taxes.
