Hey Vero Beach Fellow, you can't lump all of us in the same boat. That's like saying all Jewish people are poor, which is 100% not true. And if we're all such dumb backwoods people, why does Forbes magazine rank Florida as the #1 state with the most millionaires? Jealousy shows up in different ways, that said, VB, maybe you need to get a grip on your own perspective of your local community. Perhaps looking within yourself and making a difference in your own community might help relieve you of your distorted viewpoint.

You didn't read my last sentence... "This isn't true of all Floridians but a lot of posters fall into this description."

See what I mean? Your post says a lot about the Florida school system when you can't read properly.

I hope you are not speaking about native Floridians as being rude and crude. You must be refering to newer residents of the state.

What I don't understand is why...when the thread is about Florida Assets, the usual gloom and doomer's have to hi-jack it and make it into a negative thread.

Seriously with all the negative threads that seem to thrive on the Florida boards, why can't there be a few positive ones?

^^^Perhaps it starts when Northern transplants move down here and say these things (above)...

When this person says, "Floridians" I assume he/she is talking about natives. But hopefully I am wrong.

[TANaples]

I am not a Floridian. Those are natives born in this state. I am an unwilling transplant.

[Pooring Footers]

LOL, I know TANaples.

National real estate experts consider Florida the most promsing future of any state in the US... California was the best, but they have all sorts of problems now.

Now Miami is whole other story!

My 2 cents.

Florida the most promising real estate future? Are you investing in property there than?

A fantasy?
