Yes, it's inconvenient to wait for a table at a restaurant. And yes, there is more traffic. And yes, you have to wait in a longer line at Publix. And no, you can't park in the front row anymore at shopping centers. But....you choose to live in SW Florida. It has always been this way here, and always will be. It's only for a few months out of the year.
Some people are complete morons and don't realize if it wasn't for the snowbirds, Sarasota would have a fraction of the amenities it currently has. And when I say amenities, I include the hospital systems.

One day someone might actually get pulled over and cited for it.

Default Looks like my offer was accecpted in Hot Springs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I mad an offer on some acreage in Hot Springs. 3.25 acres on a ridge with a good view. 4300 an acre. I know I should have asked this before I bought but I think its a good buy. Is that a fair price for good land with a good view in a solid sub that has nice homes? Its about 5 miles from down town HS in between the village and HS. I lived near there before and it was great. I am told that property is making a come back. Any info would help.

Laws are meaningless if not enforced, which most good ones are not.
