I would recommend Weston to anyone with a family as their are tons of activities for the kids and it is a beautiful and safe community ... that said Savanna is probably the one community that I would not buy in ... yes they have a terrific community clubhouse , and the place is clean and well kept up ... there are simply to many people and houses in the community it is simply too congested as well as the highest number of homes in foreclosure in all of Weston mainly due to upscale Hispanics from Colombia and Venezuela who purchased $ 750 K homes with almost no money down and variable loans !!!
My former landlord is Cuban "highly educated" and can't wait to move out of Weston to Vero to his house up here. I never asked why since I don't really care. But believe me, it gets really tiresome seeing all this "White American" bashing on the Florida forums.

It also gets really tiring when people refuse to admit that when an entire town or city INSISTS on SPANISH ONLY in AMERICA it's rude, annoying and will end up being a one horse town. And I'm fairly sure that's why my landlord can't wait to move to beautiful Vero Beach where all that crap is non existant (as of now).

Miami quote: "ha ha if you don't speak Spanish here, we consider you a tourist"....my answer: guess what if you don't speak English out in public to us we consider you ignorant.

Who the heck even uses the expression White Americans now, is this another new thing???? <eye roll>

I am a wife of an immigrant and just for once I would have loved to see him get ONE BIT of all this preferential deference that y'all show down here. What a joke, really.

Only in Florida are Americans forced to accept being insulted to their faces, they're supposed to like it, too. A la Obama.

"uncomfortable" a couple of times in Dade , due to not speaking Spanish , but nothing that would get me to post the gibberish that you just posted and yes Vero Beach is nice and more power to your former Cuban landlord for moving to Vero Beach ... hope you dont trip with them scissors

Where did you get this information? It doesn't seem like there are really that high a percentage of homes in my section (The Marshes I) that are in foreclosure. There is one uninhabited home on my block right now.

When I go to Real Estate, Homes for Sale - Zillow and look at foreclosures in zip codes 33326/33327 I don't see that many in Savanna.

This development has had foreclosures like any other but I don't think the foreclosures are worse here than in any other development. I am curious about whether you are just repeating something someone told you, or if you have some inside knowledge?

runwithscissors has shown on several threads that he/she is an extreme right-wing republican who feels they need to interject politics into everything. He/she is anti-immigration, anti-Hispanic, anti-South FL, anti-education, anti-Democrat/liberal, anti-Obama, and feels that anybody who is not a non-Hispanic white person is destroying this country. So I stopped responding to his/her threads because its unproductive. This is not a political message board. Stop attacking liberals, democrats, immigrants, hispanics, college students, etc. If you hate FL so much then move to Alabama.

I was going to say the same, after reading some of his posts.
BTW how can you even judge a place if you never lived in it???
