The cost of life there is so expensive in all the facts, you are so far of the rest, and enother fact that some many persons of these comunity denied is the problem of the drugs. Yes drugs.

Another scary fact is that the weston hight society pay to avoid the spread of their inner problems. They want to show them like a perfect place to live and tht is no true!.

All the places have situations, all the places have problems. If you want a live in a perfect place let me tell you that doesn't exist yet.

Good look!.
New Nazism ... really ... in a city that is probably 40% Jewish ?

This has to be one of the most absurd posts I have seen on here in a while ... when we lived in Weston most of our neighbors were Jewish ether from NYC / NJ , Argentina or Venezuela ... yes there is a large South American Jewish community in Weston ... I doubt that there is much Nazism in Weston ... "Weston hight society pay to avoid the spread of their inner problems " ... WTF ???

It seems like you are simply unhappy because you cannot afford to live there . Weston , along with Western Davie , Cooper City , Coral Springs , Plantation and Parkland are the best places to live in Broward .

I thought that post about Weston was a little "hateful" myself but then again I am new here! No problem living in Weston thus far- unfortunatly people will always have negative things to say about affluent areas. However- my glass is ALWAYS half full

I've have a few Black families on my street in Weston, as well as a few Jewish, a few Spanish and a few Anglos like myself. I am guessing that this is the norm on most streets in Weston. I feel Weston is truly a melting pot and I am very happy and proud to live here. We moved from an area up north where the population at the shcools were 96% white. What a relief to move down here and know that my boys will have friends from different ethnic backgrounds. In fact we have a packed house right now full of all different colors and my boys are the only blonds in the mix!
I also think that there is a price point for almost anyone living here. There are several different nice appartment communities as well as big, grand homes.
Most people move to Weston for the safe community feel, good schools and location. I know as a parent, that is all I ask for. The rest is icing!

Agree with this 100%.

Having worked at a restaurant in Weston years ago, while the area is not a black area, there certainly are blacks in Weston who do just fine. Weston is loaded with South Americans and Jews.

And yes, Weston does try and keep poor people out, what's wrong with that? They don't want project housing and crime, what a shame!

MRB1's comments are simply class-warfare which is spurred by jealousy. Unfortunately this is a growing problem in this country especially under this administration, I would only guess that MRB1 votes democrat. Let's spread the wealth around a little!

Smile Coral Springs

I don't know if the original poster is even checking this thread or not but if anyone who is african-american or even cares is reading this then they should check out Coral Springs. Coral Springs has a lot of upper middle class african american families living there. We have friends here and do many activities in this gorgeous city and it's all English speaking, but very diverse as far as color. I really love Coral Springs.

Now you are not going to believe me on this one but since I've moved further east from out from the West part of Broward (this is my first summer) it has RAINED LESS. Yes, I know this because I'm driving West so my kids can visit their friends and I'm driving from sunny skies out East to stormy rain clouds out in Weston and Davie....everyday. This happened last year when we went to the beaches: Clear at the beach....driving home.....rain. It's been a pleasure living further east! OK, it rains....but not as much!

yes

Sometimes I miss going to the beach because it is raining in Weston. But then it turns out that it is a clear sunny day at the beach.

I now use a webcam website to check the beach weather.

Also sometimes I am at a beach with sunny skies and I look West and see huge storm clouds all over the western suburbs.
