You do know you are blaming the wrong people for your hated problems. It's Florida land owners who are selling out for $$$$$ and Florida developers selling developed land for $$$$$. With out those two FLORIDA residents cashing out, your state would still be run by alligators and big mouth bass.
Just this past Sunday I seen adds in the paper up here where realtors are running tour busses to Florida to hopeful buyers. I'm guessing it's aiming at mostly seniors up here who have extra money and are sick of snow and cold weather.
I might have to consider this next year.
Affording the property wouldn't be a issue for us but I would never move to that Summer Hell Hole.......my god the heat.....LOL
Nice place to visit for a month or two but I would never consider living there year round. I have no idea how you natives endure it for 6+ months a year.
As far as fishing, everything I hear it's pretty good if you are a bass chaser but our fishing is much better here and a lot more well rounded for my likings.
Same thing happening here in North Alabama. Cotton farms and hunting lands are turning into single family subdivisions and apartments. Last year US News and World Report ranked Huntsville AL as the No. 1 metro area in their Best Places to Live in the U.S. Lot of migration from other states due to the job market and the cost of living though that is probably going to change for the worse. Traffic is getting more congested and the infrastructure isnt keeping up. It is what it is!

Hey I grew up there this has been going on for 60 years .I'm in Carolina now and lake Murray parking lot is now full all the time nothing but million dollar home which was pretty decent since I owned a small cabin on it for 40 years and made a killing at retirement. Florida has always been very local territoral and I always hear one in here hating on everyone but I remember the day when if his truck and trailer was from just another county's he'd of had a brick threw his window or glue all the door locks shut so to the real hard core he's not welcome just out of own County and I dont know but I think that's why the County isn't on the tags anymore vandalism .I can guarantee you those country boys in south Florida don't want to see any Yankee from Jacksonville cause he's considered a Yankee to them.lol
WRONG WRONG WRONG. Not long ago 7-10 years ago it was nothing but orange groves for as far as you could see going down 27. Bright green trees in rows that ran into the sunset. Now, just 10 years later home dept, walmart and mr retired yankee. Adam Sandler said it best in Happy Gilmore...GO HOME, GO HOME!!!!
Well, lets see here. I'm 52 and have been fishing for fun and tx's all up and down the state since i was oh say around 10. Never experienced this. And i know a pile of locals. Yea they feel the same way i do. Just for your info... Jax up to recently was considered anything but yank. Went to college in Boca and when i said yea im from jax, they were like man thats all redneck. South Fl sucked, even then i hated dealing with all those northiners. First week i got there for school, I remember walking into a dunkin donuts owned by this new yorker. Im going through all the different donuts and he says hurry up or i wont serve ya. I told him to f$!#k off. Thats how half the population was in west palm. Rudest people i ever met. Ive hated them ever since.

My dad was a truck driver in the 70's and early 80's. The exit on 27 Haines City had almost nothing there. I went back to Plant City a couple weeks ago, and Orlando seems to stretch almost to 27. I remember in the late 70's Disney was way out of Orlando. It is a rat race down there now!!

Awe... Did someone get thier panties hurt??? You know you can always fly home. Snowbirds dont have to stay!!!
By the way... Went to college down there for a year and it sucked. Nothing but concrete structures, strip malls, yankees and housing developments. Traffic... Good god, keep it there. Good luck finding a 100 year oak tree. Also... The surf sucked. Flat 3/4 of the year. Spent a year in the palm beach area hogzilla. Just to go to the beach, I had to get a pass or pay a fee to park. Funnelled into limited beach access like sardines or sheep. F$!#k that. West Palm, whew aint nothing but a detached portion of NY. This was 25 years ago. It only has gotten worse. Wife and i saw a band called "The Cure" down there a few years back and you couldnt even park your car cause all the skyscrapers. It was like being an ant in a colony having to stay in line. Take that shit and shove it in your sewer... South Florida is trash. Overcrowded and its far and few between when you actually meet someone born there. Give me neighbourhoods made from brick not stucko. Houses that trees overhanging roofs!

Haha!! Lived in PB County for over 60 years and my Great Grandfather was born here in the 1880s so I probably know a little more about it than you. For one thing Boca is basically Fort Lauderdale nothing like the north end of the county. I grew up in Lake Worth and it was all surfing and fishing growing up. And if you weren't a local you weren't surfing the good spots. Yes it's changed, lots of transplants but I'll take it any day over that shithole Jacksonville. We still have farms. ranches and woods we can go to, so being a tourist from up there you didn't get to see any of that being in Boca and hanging in town.

Palm Beach is little New York. And it ain't a nice place to live because it is either very high dollar or very run down. But it is close the good fishing.
