Tampa ranked as one of America's Snobbiest Cities (Miami, Orlando: how much, house)

[DUNNDFRNT]

I think it's funny how there is pretty much a consensus in Tampa that South Tampa is snobby, I have read it here too many times to count, I have argued against it but if someone on the outside puts it on a list then it's absurd, because the article talks about South Tampa exclusively.

Boston, NY, Providence, Connecticut, D.C, West Palm Beach, Miami, Coranado, etc... all have seemed worse to me.

You live in Land O Lakes! LOL Move to South Tampa and then return to the thread and report.


On a side note: can someone explain two things:
1. Why are we snobs in the first place? are we born like this? or is this some disorder?
2. Why would someone write an article like this? what do they hope to accomplish? (aside from making us all look like crap in front of the world, which we already do!)

^This. The article was not refering about Luts, Land O Lake or some other middle of nowhere suburb but South Tampa.

And you live in Lutz. You don't live in Tampa, but I am sure you get around enough to make a valid point.

Because I am in a suburb does that mean I don't get around the city? They didn't say my neighbor is a snob.

Some people on here continue to amaze me with the lack of understanding. The article was probably written because when someone visited, they ran into negative people like you.

I just thought it was kind of funny for little ole Tampa to be so high on that list with all those other very major cities - it's kind of cool, even if it is ridiculous. Yes, it's only on there because of "south Tampa," and a very SMALL section of south Tampa at that. (Soho was mentioned) Anyway, like they say, any publicity is good publicity and I like that Tampa is showing up more and more these days on these ridiculous lists! LOL

I don't really see how being labeled "snobby" is good publicity, but it is better than some of the past labels.

Maybe northeners and potential emigrants, immigrants, and future transplants will read the article and stay the hell out.

Is that SNOBBISH enough for ya'll?

Sounds bigoted, not snobbish.
