Review of Fort Lauderdale, Florida


Leaving for Arizona
Star Rating - 7/31/2006
Please don't move here.
Fort Lauderdale used to be a great place, but after leaving for a while and moving back, I can honestly say that this is one of the rudest areas I have lived in (NYC included). Not only are the drivers bad but they are rude to boot. In additon, the housing market has gotten out of hand- prices have tripled over the past several years, as have property taxes and homeowner's insurance. It has become increasingly expensive to live her, especially when you factor in that the kids have to go to private school because the public system stinks.
I am moving to Arizona next year. I hope I have been able to deter at least one person from making the mistake of moving to South Florida. Trust me- the weather just isn't worth it!
