Florida has nice beaches and great fishing. I remember sky-high car and
property insurance rates, grocery prices in Publix higher than they were
in Giant, fundamentalist churches seemingly on every corner, too many
houses with T1-11 siding and no basements, water shortages, congested
and underdeveloped state roads, lousy schools, a lack of drastically
needed social services. Of course, things might have changed in the last
20 years.
Florida has changed. Many of the undesirables moved out.
Oh, really? I can think of a handful of rec.boats posters living in
Florida who are "undesirables."
We were in Florida earlier this year and noticed that the grocery store
prices were still higher there than here. As we were in SE Florida, I
didn't notice as many fundie churches. The main roads were very
congested and not in great repair. An environmental engineer I know in
Florida says the state's fresh water shortages are serious and are not
discussed enough.
Florida does have great beaches for swimming and terrific salt and fresh
water fishing, though. Maybe the best in the country. It's always a
pleasure to visit SE Florida, especially in February and March, and
especially if you can fly in and out of Ft. Lauderdale and avoid the
Miami airport.

I don't see any huge bargains there compared to Publix and the steak
they are bragging about is $2 a pound more than what Publix puts it on
sale for.
SE Florida is what they use for the example of what they don't want to
happen here when they build. I have no opinion about it but to say I
passed on a transfer there a year before this became available.,
There are 3 places in Florida I would never consider moving to. Miami/
Ft Lauderdale/WPB corridor, Orlando or Jacksonville and they seem to
be your favorites. No wonder you have such a low opinion of Florida.
You chose the worst **** holes then bitch about your choices.
I don't know if you've seen pictures of the neighborhood Harry lived in
in Jacksonville. Talk about a ********.
