Nothing really that special... - 7/1/2009
Paired to Coral Springs FL this place is kinda of old and dumpy. I dont really like the bay area as much as south FL but it does have nicer people. Clearwater is full of shops and places to go but what citi in FL

Please dont move here !! - 11/21/2008
This by far has to be the worst city to live in . It is dirty and the beaches are all going private . Insurance is horrible for homes and homes are not affordable anymore with sky high property taxes . Schools are crappy . I am so glad to be leaving here and moving back north snow and all . There are no jobs here and folks are losing their jobs here left and right . There are 500 ppl here for every one job opening and they will give it to the person who will work for 5.00 an hr and speaks a foreign language if you get my drift . It has to be by far the worst place I have ever lived . I cannot wait to get out of this city and state !!! It is okay if you want to work for 5.00 an hour and do 30 ppls positions

Living on the Florida Gulf Coast - 7/21/2007
The Florida lifestyle is great but it is getting harder and harder to achieve for many. The cost of housing itself is affordable as long as you don't want insurance or can avoid paying your taxes. It is possible that if the state legislature does nothing about this the only people left living in Florida will be the rich and well to

Clearwater Is Not A Good Place.... - 7/12/2007
To live. The cost of living is ridculously high. The insurance for housing is insane because of the hurricanes. The crime is bad. There are a lot of mexicans and prostitutes running around the city. The city is totally overrated! Scientologist have taken over most of Clearwater. Nice place to vacation...not a good place to

Lived in Charlotte, NC. Jacksonville, FL, and Spar - 3/16/2007
I lived in Jacksonville, FL for 20 years. It is very dirty, crime ridden, and no beaches to enjoy anymore since the condos have arrived. The plus is that the healthcare systems here are adequate especially if you are in between jobs or have a low paying job which is the case in Jacksonville. Spartanburg, SC is a gentle southern town that has a great healthcare system with good schools and relatively low crime, but little chance of making a living unless you're in the manufacturing business. You have to drive to Greenville on the Autobon Express (fast lanes only).
Charlotte, NC has such a wopping tax rate that one only takes home around 60% of their salary with typical big city layoffs, expensive housing, crime, little affordable nightlife for singles unless again you work 2nd or 3rd shift in manufacturing to make the money. Healthcare here is horrendous with a minimum of 4 month waits to be seen by doctors if you're without insurance or in between jobs. In Jacksonville,

Dome Homes - 1/31/2007
I don't understand why people in Florida aren't building hurricane-proof dome homes or concrete homes. I just checked out a web-site and you can have a hurricane proof dome home built for around $70,000. It is a 3 BR/2 Bath home. Granted, it is only 960 square feet, but I would give up the footage for a hurricane proof

Nice Place To Live - 9/29/2006
I've lived all over Florida for the past 5 years and Clearwater has to be the best place I've lived so far. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, beaches are close by and shopping centers all over the place. It can get pretty muggy in the summer months as it is all over Florida but that's what the beach and swimming pools are for!!! Housing is pretty pricey if you're buying but the rentals are reasonable and affordable. I commute to work 30 miles round trip 5 nights a week. This is a long commute for me, but its worth it to come home and live in this
