Review of Fort Myers, Florida


worst place ive lived so far
Star Rating - 1/1/2013
Im 20 yrs old and ive lived in Fort Myers for 4 years now and I'm Itching to get out. the only thing that's keeping me here is finishing the degree that I started in the 1 college they have here. there really isn't much to do except to go to the movie theater bowling ice skating a pet store and maybe the beach if you're willing to drive out to the outer beaches sanibel And bonita springs because Fort Myers Beach is 1 of the ugliest beaches I've ever seen the water is dark greenish blue and the sand is dirty. there arent a lot of jobs that you can find here either unless you've gone to school for years and years. I feel like most of the people that live in fort Myers their families have been living in fort Myers for years and its a cycle that everyone is trying to break but not a lot of people can a lot of people that I talk to always talk about how They want to leave and get out of Fort Myers but only so many actually do mostly because how hard it is to progress in the city the housing is pretty decent a lot of the people that I've met that moved here moved here mostly because the houses were so cheap. as far as the nightlife goes there isn't much going on in the clubs they never really stay in business for too long so everyone is always hopping around from 1 place to the other a lot of people I know go to Miami Tampa or Orlando to party since there really isn't much in fort Myers. 1 of the biggest issues that Fort Myers has to deal with is how horrible the cops are in fort/cape coral area. they are just corrupted on another level and think they can terrorize people just because they have a stupid badge. the judges have no common sense whatsoever theyll sentence a minor for 15 years minimum for something so minor. the trials are dragged on for as long as they can people don't even have a fighting chance because they barely give it any thought when they sentence people and ruin their lives. I feel like it's become routine to them. personally I can't wait to finish my degree graduate and get out of here

Dear Worst.... you are the same age as my daughter. I'm trying to get her to move to that area with me. All you say concerns me. I read it to my daughter and she said "sounds just like here". We live in NJ. Many of her friends have had the lives screwed with by the revenue building system. Lots of people still want to move here. Your review made me most apprehsive about our eventual move.
