Review of Bradenton, Florida


Disappointed with the City of Bradenton (January 2
Star Rating - 1/9/2007
My husband and I relocated here approximately 16 monhts ago and it was the worse mistake in my life! Unfortunately due to job transfers of my husband and I (both at the same time) we took a risk, although had visited Sarasota County a few times for vacationing. Well, there is a major difference in Bradenton and Sarasota, and to live "comfortably" in Sarasota, a family needs to be financially comfortable, since taxes, hurricane insurance, flood insurance and these annual increases are rediculous! Not worth it to us, from moving where we did, where we were in an upper middle class area, gated community, had low taxes and no hurriacanes or tornadoe warnings to worry about!
This city needs to be CLEANED UP, the ZONING is MESSED UP (no consistency), you can have a shack on top of a half a million dollar home!
Now, what to do, to get out of this MESS!!!! Trying to figure it out, one thing at a time!!!

It seems to me that you might want to consider joining the community in fixing what seems wrong to you, you know: offer a solution or something...run for city council...county commissioner...most anything has a solution if you decide to approach it with your head instead of your emotions. Tedd
