Cape coral having more crime than Fort Myers?????? What?!?!?! -BacktoFLigo

LOL.
I've only lived here for 2 yrs. I would take CC over Ft Myers any day of the week, thank you. Why? CC just seems more laid back and friendlier. I just feel safer, here. I've dealt with the bridges to work in Ft Myers and it does grind on you during season, I think of it as a nice scenery coming or going over the bridges rather than just being a hassle. The trick is to adjust the time you leave in the morning to get to work and try not to leave right at 5 to come home.

NE and NW cape experiences alot of grow house activity, which is consistantly drawing arrests, so it's always being cleaned up to the best of our finest's capabilities. When that area is finally built up more and lived in, that activity should diminish somewhat, hopefully.

MOST of crime is either drug related or domestic in both Ft. Myers and in the Cape. Since there are ALOT of people who live here, per capita, the actual crime rate is not that high. If you are not involved in either, you can have a nice life here. Anywhere, USA, has bad areas so that's why you have to research and check into places like this to see where those areas might be.

Unfortunately for me, I have to move because of my new job is too far away and the gas is getting to be too much for my budget. I will be moving from CC down to Bonita. Complain? No, but I leave with a heavy heart, I really like the Cape.

Default consider estero, south fort myers

I had a coworker who moved his young wife and children from St. Louis to N. Ft. myers. He said she cries everday. It's total rednecky. People walking around with bare feet in grocery stores, no teeth, just unbearable. Lots of vandalism. Just check the NBC-2 website. I agree with the poster who said to stay south of Page Field. And you might want to check the sheriffs website to see the crime is out of control in Lehigh. Good luck. We live along Mcgregor/cypress lake area and it is very nice. And close to everything.
