Widower. Soon to be a member of the unemployed. Lost most of my money during the recession. Have a companion who keeps an eye on me and takes care of house and cooking. I like to feed the birds and putter in my lawn. Would move to Texas if home values increase and I can sell my houses for anywhere near what I paid for them. Ha! Ha! I think there are too many old people running the government. They stifle progress and miss opportunities because they resist change.

North Port, FL

Quality of life - 10/5/2010
I moved here in December 2002. This is a bedroom community town. Most people who live here are retirees or people who commute elsewhere to work. The majority of jobs are in retail, grocery and service industries. A large number of service industries closed during this recession. My first home dropped 80 percent in value in the past 2 years. Because of the large percentage of Repo's here I've been unable to sell that house. My current house was bought in Aug 2008 and has dropped 20 percent since then. Unfortunately North Port property taxes have not dropped to reflect this. The rest of the county is more responsive to the current values. This town has historically been highly resistant to industrial expansion and resisted new business. We just lost our city manager. He oversaw more growth during his short tenure than we had before. We need younger and more agressive people on the city council or North Port will become like the ghost town communitys I see on the news about parts of Arizona.
