Yeah. On that side it's the towns, not the developments.

Both states have some similarities, but many differences as well.

I noticed the Spanish influence in southern Cal is very very apparent. Everything has a Spanish name, well almost everything. All the streets are in Spanish "El Camino Real" "Las Flores" "Encinitas" "Monte Vista" "La Brea" "La Cienega"....Spanish street names there are very ubiquitous. .

Given Florida's Spanish history, I wonder why there aren't more Spanish names to things. Like Spanish street names, Spanish names of towns and cities. I mean there's "Santa Rosa" county in the panhandle, but what else?

I like them and feel Florida should re-discover their Spanish history and have more things named in Spanish.
At one time, a large majority of America was under Spain's control, you should be asking yourself why Wyoming has a lack of Spanish influence...
