St Petersburg Beautiful?

Are you kidding me? This place is a nightmare from hell. The services here suck. I have never encountered crappier cable and phone service. The electric rates are astronomical. Progress Energy even admitted they charged Florida customers 23% higher than they do their Carolina customers BEFORE they jacked our rates up another 17%. People that inhabit this place are shiftless, lazy, rude crooks, thieves, amongst others. The mindset seems to be focused on when is my next lay, drunk, meth or crack fix. The beaches in this area are NOTHING to write home about unless you are from uglier hell holes like the east coast. The better beaches are in Sarasota. This place lacks culture, entertainment or any decent quality of life. I see why St Petersburg, FL was named SECOND ANGRIEST city in the United States. It certainly comes as NO SURPRISE. And gee, people tried to make me think it was just "me." Well according to studies reported in Men's Health, I beg to differ. The taxes and homeowners insurance rates have sky rocketed. To anyone thinking of moving here, DON'T! If seeking a warmer climate, check out Arizona (cheaper home prices) or San Diego, CA. There are no decent jobs to speak of here and the wages suck! Oh and recently, unemployment rate of 10.4%!!!!!
