There are just too many people here and they are nasty. They don't grow oranges or grapefruits, the schools suck, the box stores have taken over the landscape, the drinking water has to be from bottles, taxes are so low the roads and infrastructure sucks and there are potholes everywhere, marijuana is not legal or even close to being so, red tide is here 9 months of the year, green algae takes care of the other three months but you have to guess which ones, flesh eating bacteria is always an option, but other than that. It's a hell of a place to live.
Sincerely,
Chamber of Commerce
