That survey pretty much sums up 3 of the main reasons I want to leave, and a lot of people I know here...

Its been like this for awhile now. Most of my coworkers and friends want to get out as well as me. Things are just getting too expensive and like I said many times before the jobs here suck. Most of the people who support Orlando don't even live in Orange County so they have no clue how truly bad it is.

Uncontrolled growth is the main reason I don't like Florida/Orlando area. The area is growing faster with more people than the roads can support. Some of these streets get jammed with traffic because the streets are essentially paved-over rural roads. Building subdivisions everywhere with limited access has also contributed to these traffic jams. In some parts of the area doing a right-turn-only "block" (the easiest way to turn) will add lots of miles onto your trip. They build strip malls on top of these rural roads and likewise it leads to traffic tie-ups as people have to contend with yet-more left-turners comming out of the malls.

It`s funny because you look at other state forums like Georgia and north Carolina and they are now starting to complain about all the people moving up from Florida and the northeast.
The natives of those states are moving out because of that, so give Florida enough time and it will be nice here again because alot of the people will be outta here.
