I can't wait to move to JAX. Just need to find work! I am 100% sure there will the good, the bad, and the ugly in Jacksonville; just as there is good, bad, and ugly in New York.

But you've got the weather and the beach!

Now that explains the need for all the red light cameras in Palm Coast. I was wondering what the heck happened to Palm Coast.

Yup, its true. All Floridians are excellent drivers that never break traffic laws. It's all those stinkin' northerners that are to blame.

^Thats sarcasm by the way.

How come they werent needed until recently? You dont think it's due to the large influx of NY'ers that have moved there?

Again, as a born and raised NY'r, I can say that even though NY'rs have a tendency to be aggressive on the road, it is more about getting to the light first to wait at the red than to drive through a red light.

I believe it was more that they were installed due to an incorrectly assumed reputation. Yeah, red light's are "eaten" daily, but I would say that it goes across the board in every city.

In Philly, I have noticed that a stop sign means going down to 25 mph to pass it instead of stopping. At least in NYC, most people bring it down to about 5 mph.

As much as I can't stand NYC attitude, some of the things I have read about NYC folks is added on top of the undeniably bad things.

And I'm from the Bronx.
