The road is old and overutilized.

Kind of like the vaginal orifice on an old whore, eh?

Kind of like all of Florida, eh?

Everything in Naples is new...but it is overutilized.

That's odd. You sure try hard to push Naples as the best
place in

the



world. Well, you are wrong, as usual:
On the way to Naples' historic Pier is Palm Cottage, built
in
1895

and



reputedly Naples' oldest house, where guided tours are
offered in
season. Other historic buildings include the Naples
Commissary

Building



in Olde Naples, dating back to 1903, and the renovated
Naples
Depot
(1927), once the Naples Train Station and now displaying a
caboose

and



other railroad memorabilia. History buffs will also find
much
of
interest at the Collier County Museum, which houses a
permanent
collection from Prehistoric times through to the present
day.
You

will



learn about the early Indian settlements here and may wish
to
go on

to



visit an Indian Village in the area, where genuine Indian,

hand-crafted



artifacts are sold.

Why not just post the web site from which you plagiarized
your
information?

Good day, and Happy New Year!

Why do so? NOYB won't believe it anyway! He only believes
what
he wants
to believe. I've been to Naples. Many times. I know people
who's
families have lived in Naples for generations. It's just
like
the time
that NOYB was trying to tell everyone here that Naples
doesn't
have
swampbillies.



Naples doesn't have swampbillies. Perhaps you're referring
to
Golden
Gate Estates? Yes, it has a Naples mailing address...but
it's
not the
same Naples that a couple hundred thousand snowbirds come
down
to visit
every year.

The median home price in Naples is just a hair under
$400,000.
Swampbillies don't buy $400,000 homes.

You obviously haven't been to Naples in a long
time...probably
not since
you worked parking lot security when the Wal-Mart was being
built.




I thought a swampbilly was a homeless person who lived in your
part of
the country...


If being homeless is the definition of a "swampbilly", then
Naples
has no
"swampbillies". I have never seen a homeless person in Naples.

Then you are a blind man.


There are no homeless people in the sense that there are folks
sleeping on
the street. There are homeless people in shelters down here, no
doubt.


Coming back from a cruise to the Bahamas

last week, I was astounded at the number of homeless folks in
the
neighborhood around Capt. Harry's tackle in Miami...which is
just
a
couple of blocks from the American Airlines (or whatever they
call
it
now) Arena and the waterfront.

It's also on the cusp of an area that has undergone a lot of
change, and
there is a homeless mission not far from the store...or there
was.


It's still there. Right across the street from Capt. Harry's.


Methinks you're just one of those good Christian Americans who
have
no
idea about the poverty in their communities. The poverty rate in
Naples
city rose 50% between 1990 and 1996, and is now about the same
as
the rest
of Florida, excluding Miami, which has a higher rate because of
factors
unique to it. Your poverty rate is about 10%.


Where are you getting your data? When you say "now", are you
referring to
2000 census data? Things have changed quite a bit in 5 years.
Is
the data
specific to Naples? Or is it for all of Collier County, which
includes
several poor communities like Immokalee, Everglades City, and
Chokoloskee?

Regardless, living blow the level of poverty isn't the the same
thing as
being homeless. All homeless folks are below the poverty level,
but not
everyone who is below the poverty level is homeless.



Sheesh.

You live there and you're in the healing arts and you don't know
there
are homeless in your town?

I had no problem getting hits on "Naples" "Homeless," and these
were
both in the city and in the county.

Both are your area.

He's grasping at straws, trying to uphold his beloved Naples. Look
at
the previous post, first, he said there are no homeless, then,
well,
there IS, but they're in shelters. Truth is, there ARE homeless
there,
but they don't frequent HIS idea of Naples. You see, he also
changed
the geographical limits of Naples in his mind, so it appears as
nothing
short of Nirvana.

It is Nirvana. And the high demand for real estate proves it.

Maybe is is Nirvana, in YOUR eyes. I've been fortunate enough to have
traveled all over FL for years, staying 8 months to a year in each
place, sometimes less. There are many, many beautiful places in FL. I
can't stand swampy places like Naples. I'm not keen on anyplace, either
coast, or inland, that is below S.R. 70. Too swampy, flat, and wet.
I've also been fortunate enough to have lived in several areas of the
U.S., and again, Naples, FL would rate very low in that catagory, too.
Real estate? Yes, the retirees that you fleece daily DO have money.
