I was deadset on moving to Puerto Rico a few months ago. I am semi-retired, gay, with a external income sources.

Then I started reading about the murder rate on the island, and am having second thoughts.

I liked San Juan because it was urban (think Manhattan, Back Bay).

I looked at South Beach, but I hear it is getting quite ghetto and homophobic. I looked at Wilton Manors, but I don't drive (unless absolutely necessary) and loathe the suburban lifestyle-you'll never see me with an SUV or a lawn mower.

I don't like small towns, knowing everyone and seeing them 60 times a week, and having everybody know my business.

Give it to me: what is Tampa like? I'm heading down shortly to check it out, but my friends say it may be right for my criteria. It looks like South Florida or Barcelona.

I'm looking for Boston with palm trees. What do you think? Comments, even the negative ones, are welcome.

Tampa is not Boston but the Tampa Bay area especially St.Pete is pretty gay friendly. You may find that area more exciting than Tampa. Check it out.
