I really love florida, even with its little problems.
I have seen the beaches in most Eastern shore towns have to be bulked up.
Cape May,NJ........Topsail, NC........Point Pleasant, NJ...Atlantic City......All up and down the coast. Thats the way it is.........
I don't mind bridges that have to rise up for the beautiful boats.......
And lines for power are everywhere, and anywhere.
Flordia to me is Fun in the Sun........so much to do and so little time.
All of those beautiful ocean and gulf shores.........
I just love it........Now, to go find some pictures and try to paste......
I'm just so bad at that

Yeah, I did in by Delray Beach..........and those who chose to go in........
were a bit itchy for some time.
I just didn't go in.......but, that was not fun at all.
I was wishing I was back in Daytona where that never had happened when I was around anyhow.

This doesn't shock anyone who lives in any major metro area. And the appearance doesn't shock me, because liberty city, overtown, etc looked like this when I was a child in the 60s. Well, actually, it looked a lot better before the highway was built and the community was disregarded and destroyed in the 60s, leaving it more vulnerable to crime and decay than before.

What is the BIG negative here is that it STILL looks like this.

I would NOT be surprised if they start building these in Orlando, except they would stack up three of these trailers as "condos".

Too funny.... but watch that become reality as people need alternatives to $1,100 - $1,500/month rent in Orlando!

Go North and get the hell out of there. Miami is just a small part of Florida. There are many nice places in Central and Northern Florida!
