Ah, CVP, haven't you realized yet that NOTHING you've said or can say will keep us Yanks away? As I said before, we're used to way more overcrowding, traffic, high taxes, etc. than you can threaten us with, so that doesn't scare us! But, oh, that sunshine, and those beaches, and the year-round warm weather... you can't argue against that! And with so many of us encroaching on your territory, we really don't have to worry about you not welcoming us with open arms. We have each other! I do what's right for *me*, not *you*. Now, if you don't like it, then as Joshan said, maybe it's time for you to start looking at one of those other wonderful States you've been pushing on everyone else -- Georgia, the Carolinas, Alabama... I'm sure you could find an acre or two that you can have all to yourself so you wouldn't have to be bothered by the likes of us northerners, and, um, likewise!

You're really disturbed. I'm not cvp. I'm simply sharing knowledge about Florida ! you don't live here and know what I know obviously, and don't want to hear the truth about what's actually taking place here. In short, you're ignorant to the facts on the ground and clearly hellbent on ignoring them. Again, I LIVE here and I'm not from where you're from, battling like hell to leave hellholes like NY/NYC and that awful place called Chicago. I'm simply offering up REALITY, not pipedreams, and sugarplums.

Let's be clear: I already live here, and YOU don't. So who knows more?

Arrogance is not a good look which you shall discover on your own. Talk to more locals and natives. They are not going to mislead you if they mean well. Developers and real estate sales people certainly will. Talk to a few police agencies, firefighters and school administrators for yourself. Get an education. Some people will also tell you that we don't have an insect/roach/bug/noseeum/redtide problem, then they move here and discover that too is not the truth. People I guess WANT to be lied to in order to validate their bad choices or willful disregard for key truths and facts.

Why do you assume people are moving their blindly? Who does that?

Millions of others live there also, and not one of them has shared your outlook to me (except your sock account). I will trust them, as you know "they live there and I don't".

What arrogance is that? Attacking people based on where they live, what they drive and what their perceived political affiliations are? Oh wait that was you, my bad.

Done tons of that and none of them agree with you.

Done that for years now, not doing anything spur of the moment, thanks for your concern.

Some people will also try to paint it as a terrible place to keep others away. /shrug

Believe it or not, you're not the only person who lives there. I have 2 cousins, 5 close friends, and 2 retired co-workers who live down there and not only love it, but encourage me to join them. They say living there is like being on vacation every day. So, give me one good reason why I should listen to a C-D stranger's opinion over those of my loved ones?

I assure you that they too are not from here. "Like living on vacation every day" ? only very much idiots who have been here in FL for less than 10 years i.e. since <2010 would ascribe to such nonsense....vacation??? FLORIDA is not Disney World in toto...geezus...SWFL is not "vacationLand" or tourist central! that's a myth esp Sarasota/Manatee



My opinion is based on a lifetime in FL. I don't care if you believe me, trust me, like me or anything else, are you nuts?


You are free, free to move, free to think and free to be mistaken. You have NO a priori experience about Florida thus you know nothing...zilch...nada. You only have vicarious knowledge and experience, so we are not equal. Get some experience in FL, then you can pop off. That would be truly intelligent. It's ignorant and offensive to pop off about what you don't know.


I wish everyone well, except the arrogant, ignorant know-nothings that damage our environment, our resources, our culture, our politics, and our economic stability. Again, YOU don't live here. I don't live in NY, NJ, Chicago or Canada. No one in FL is begging to move next door to you. Get it?

I never said this i.e. is a terrible place. It's BECOMING a terrible place viz resources, prices, expansion, congestion, over-building etc because of an increased invasion of all kinds of people thinking they NEED to move and LIVE in Florida, most of whom have no real reason to move here taking up space and resources.


As a Floridian, I have the right to stipulate that this invasion is not sustainable, but many of you don't care

about this truth, and many of you think you are entitled just as a matter of fact. Many of you have a blatant disregard for resources....just look at the finances of Illinois, New York State, California and others.


You don't have to stand on the railroad tracks to KNOW the train is coming, but many of the wannabe transplants leave areas you already helped to drive in the ground! now you want to move to MY state?


Forgive me for speaking UP for FLORIDA. WE ain't movin' to Chi-town, WE ain't moving to NY, so who's in the driver's seat about "facts of life" in FL?


No, I put the welfare of the citizens of Florida FIRST, NOT you! If you think that's unreasonable to put the interests of the citizens of Florida first then you might be just another arrogant idiot.


We OWE the citizens of Florida. We do not owe the citizens of any other state, or another country.

Who cares if they're from there or not? They live there now, and they LOVE it. And they have been there for more than 10 years.

I'll get my "experience in FL" when I move down there with the rest of my kin and a bunch of friends. So move over, CVPFord, and make some room!

Oh, and as for no one in Florida begging to move next door to me in NY, who cares! Get it?

Who is this "we" you're talking about? You and your C-D aliases? Why don't you just stop already. Even you have to see that no one cares what you have to say.
