Expenses in Cape Coral bleed you dry

My daughter lives in the Cape, I lived nine miles away in Fort Myers. Her taxes on her $190,000 house were over $2,500; mine, on the same price house were only $550. You do the math! All of Lee County is expensive, and the Cape is talking about becoming their own County, a matter which will come up for vote this next year. Goods and services are readily available, but much higher than one would normally expect. Another thing - learning to speak Spanish won't hurt either. The Cape's Spanish speaking population has grown a lot since Andrew in 1992. When the folks leaving Miami came to the Cape, they have now had their families and friends follow. Expensive, heavy traffic, crowded everything, high crime rate. Nope! Don't like the Cape any longer. Which is why I moved and my daughter has her house for sale.
