Poinciana/Kissimmee should I move here (Miami, Tampa: for sale, credit, house)

[volkyguy1987]

in my earlier reply i stated how kissimmee and central florida has become a stagnant area for growth. except for the building of cookie-cutter houses. what i hope for the future is that people living in that area become more active in it instead of complaining about it. voting and becoming more educated in the things that are going on to help bring the community from the brink of miami part 2.im going to college in tampa and i see that downtown tampa is thriving with jobs and benefits all because of activeness in the community. but places like the hillsborough county area remain oblivious to the fact that they are moving nowhere and the place looks like crap. what they do there is just complain to offices that they are not funded. but then when it shows what county voted the most the downtown area blows them out of the water. hopefully that little example would show that activeness in the community is key to making it become successful. once im through with college i do plan to move back and hopefully be part of something positive and drive out the problems that give a growing community such a bad rep.

Do NOT move to Poinciana or Kissimmee, unless you:

1. Can speak FLUENT SPANISH. "Espanol de Gringo" will not work here.

2. Enjoy loud Spanish music at 3am every night.

3. Has work authorization to work in the "Republica de Poinciana" since your American Social Security card is not valid in the area. Americans are the "illegal aliens" in this area.

4. Enjoy robberies and murders on the street corners on a daily basis.

Otherwise, do NOT move to that area!!

I'd say Nirvana Guy summed it up pretty well.

Lord it is nothing like that...First of all most of the Spanish speaking People are AMERICANS from Peurto Rico.. they just happen not to like to speak English to often...
Second where do you get your "murder on every street Corner" information...?
I will admit that it irks me to go the store and people are rude and speak spanish while there are waiting on your ( WALMART) but i don;'t shop there i go to the one in winter haven....
Poincianas Grew way to big way to fast and now the people that have been here for a long time are feeling the effects of their once quiet hamlet become a buslting city virtually over night.. there is alot of adjustments that need to be made....
One has already started with the Police in full force .. much better then they are in shall we say BVL! they just plain old stay out of there!....
and as for the Target its GOING up behind Walgreens Near Solvita
