I get down to Key Largo every 2 months for a long weekend. I go kayaking, watch bands, eat, chill out, meet new folks, go snorkling, read. I like it.

That is too slow of a drop. In 2008, the average asking price for a single family home in the keys dropped 25% from the year before. The average sale price was even less. Most really nice ocean front or canal front communities saw a much smaller drop in value, as these communities are truly "one of a kind". Examples of this anomoly would be Port Largo in Key Largo, Venetian Estates in Islamorada, and Key Colony Beach and the Sombrero area in Marathon.

After 5 years in Miami, I'll take "redneck" over an ignorant, defiant, no-speakie English, immigrant sub-culture any time!    How "redneck could thet keys really be? I mean, the median home value there is still in the upper $400's last time I checked. Most "dream properties" anywhere in the keys are $800k-$5 mil. C'mon!

Why spend $800k in the Keys for a decent home when $200K buys you a new 3/3 15th floor condo on the Beach in Brazil......?
And for single guys the ratio of men per women is 7/1. 7 women for every 1 man, and did I mention they ( women ) hit the Gym every day and stay in top shape? I wish I could say that about my American sisters.

You're entirely right.
Who would want to live in the "First World" unless you work there?

I wouldn't want my investment to be at the whims of a racist-leftist Chavez praiser with the first name like Lula, Chapa, Lata, Loto, Tolo, Bolo, etc.
Lula da Silva said the reason there are hungry people in the world today is because of "blond haired, blue eyed people". That means my girlfriend is responsible for 3rd world dysfunction.
I would rather spend the extra $600k for a home in Key Largo and not have the first name of my President read Lula aka Loca.

It is funny how you make fun of the portuguese/Brazilian names with your Miami Cubano Herald attitude. The worst names in the world are the Cuban ones. Most of them are invented...and are not even related to Spaniard names or any european name...
Marielys
Yonaidys
Dayami
Magalys
Chamayra
Vionaika
Yaineris
Belgis
Fidel
Osjami
Damason
Anier
Reydel
Osneidy
I had this cuban classmate in MDC (kendall) and her named was "onedollar"... she was named after the $ bill....
ohh lord... that`s what communism isolation made to a country. Even the names started to evolve..haha
Not just your names... The Cuban Spanish is one of the worst Spanish in the world...
Que Bola Asere`
Mikimbin
Asere..que bola..que ola...``
Viralo... vira pa lla``
El puelco (El Puerco)
La puelta (La puerta)
Cubans do not use the R sound....
Do yourself a favor and stop reading that Miami Cubano Herald.
In my opinion the name Lula da Silva is a lot better than Obama.

He must have been talking about his wife..... 
Boy oh boy....I'm sure he knows who the boss is....at home! 
In a best-case-scenario...Marisa had him eating nothing but polenta  for a week. (The wife's blonde-blue-eyed...northern Italian...by origin)
Btw...regardless of his dubious alliegances and "friendships"....and inspite of his lousy Portuguese grammar, hillbilly roots....and inadequate education (eg Harvard-Yale )...Lula is 100 times a better president than any "Bushman" will ever be!
You're just too biased....'cause of Lula's "lefty" buddies.....
You know...we have an expression in my language: "It's not the hay on his farm that defines a hick....it's when the man has hay in his head".
Lula....definitely doesn't have hay in his head....  and Brazil is doing...just fine....
