What happened to reasonable costs in South Fl?

We moved here from New York City in 1995. We had it made with cheap home prices, low cost of living and not to crowded either. When we moved we said we needed to buy 10 years to raise our son , and thats just about what we got. Crime is through the roof now, costs for services, fuel and utilities are among the highest in the country and IF i was ever able to sell, I couldn't afford to buy my own house back! I recently saw a in depth study that said Miami was more expensive that Honolulu! Maybe we should head there....Bottom line.. if you have a TON of money, Palm Beach County is beautiful . If not, look elsewhere.
