Good side of Orlando (Weston, Oakland Park: credit, gated, income)

[backtofla]

let's go mets,

i dont need to argue. i know what is going on in my own city, thank you. anyone from orlando on here? guaranteed they'll back me up on this one.

we had 2 incidents last week in the area. home invasions. one guy now getting attmepted murder charges b/c he beat the guy badly with a crow-bar (sp?). both home invasions = groups of pr's. many in gangs. come around my neighborhood... houses from 300k-400k. come see all the stickers, all that crappy raggaeton crap they blast. see who doesnt mow their yards, who has pit-bulls w/o leashes on, kids playing in the street at 5 yrs old. one man arrested for going 70 miles and hr in a zone of 25. guess what he looked like.....see who's doing this and then tell me i'm wrong.

Ya know what?
I know what's going on in your city too!
Probably more than you do.
You'd be surprised.

And I don't have to guess what he looks like. You've made your feelings clear about your views of people who are different than you are, so I already know what they looked like IN THIS SPECIFIC CASE.

You're in charge of your own happiness. If those things bother you that much, you can move.
"OH, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT, I WAS HERE FIRST!"
Yeah, but you're the one who's unhappy. Deal with it. Or whine about it on the Internet. It's up to you.

I'm not coming back to this city forum again. I'll be where I was before this got moved. See ya!

Lower income people attracted to a crap-tastic job market pushing their credit too far?

I know this isn't speaking for Orlando, but down here, the seediest people I have seen down here have generally been white drug addicts, like when you go to Oakland Park and all of the crackheads stand in front of the shopping centers trying to sell stolen goods.White trash area. Trash comes in any color.

In Orlando there is a lot of trash from Puerto Rico. If you are going to poo-poo on Orlando, call it Trashorlando rather than Puertolando. It's not even like they make a majority there. Trashy people make a majority in some areas though!

Question- Who is doing all of this?

Answer- Trashy, lower income (or formerly lower income) people attracted to a crap-tastic job market and pushing their credit too far.

In Orlando there is a lot of trash from Puerto Rico. Now that I have clarified a little bit more I think you might get what I am saying.

According to the U.S Census Orange County was 24.3% Hispanic. That isn't even a plurality, let alone a majority. Orange County, Florida - Fact Sheet - American FactFinder

Yo dawg, listen up man, Weston iz hovain around 40 percent hispanic. Cuz da ppl don't b talkin like this, u cant tell bro.

Perhaps this is what makes it seem overwhelming? Granted I probably live in the most heavily Hispanic area in Broward and almost everyone speaks some form of English. I'm not saying you don't hear Spanish spoken, but is the cultural situation really THAT bad up there now?

It got a lot more segregated in Orlando too. We don't have any Hispanic majority areas (look, Weston, low crime wealthy city is the most Hispanic and its 40%) but the population in general is heavy all over the place. In Orlando I guess you are more likely to run across an area where they make a majority now?
