Ft Myers...anyone like it?

[hiknapster]

Yeah. I think the day a trailer commanded $1 MIL was the day the housing market jumped the shark.

Yes. I have lived in many mobile home parks and beautiful homes, too. Some parks can be very, very nice, but Suncoast Estates has way too many problems. When we lived in the area it was constantly in the news and was the punchline of a lot of jokes. It has nothing to do with trailers.

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.

People walking around publix with no teeth or shoes?.....you sure it wasn't Piggly Wiggly they were shoppin' at? Or Walgreens?

Lived in Naples 18 years, and went to Fort Myers as little as possible. Husband worked there. Do not like that city at all.

I blame store management for that, not necessarily the area. I'm staying in Vero Beach, a wealthy beach town, and I saw someone walk into a Publix without any shoes the other night. It's very hot here, but it only takes a few seconds to put on a T-shirt and a pair of sandals. Even flip-flops are fine, but nobody should go into a store barefoot. The toothless thing is irrelevant.

When I lived in Bonita Springs, I never quite understood why women walk into restaurants and stores hanging out of their bathing suits. It's low class, no matter how much money you have or where you live.

This is a very common attitude among Naples residents, and I do agree Naples is a lot nicer** but there are many pretty areas in Fort Myers.

**depending on what part of Naples
