One mean, expensive city!

After about 5 months living here, I've concluded that this is one of the most expensive, least friendly and most stressful cities in the USA. The cost of housing and just about everything else--health care, insurance, food, etc.--are about double what it costs anywhere else in the USA and the people are hateful, unhelpful, rude and unpleasant. There is a serious attitude problem here and everyone seems to be on the take or a crook. Try getting anything done or anyone to provide any kind of service. They don't show up most of the time, even after they've made a specific appointment, and they charge double when they do! Finally, the Cubans living here think they own the USA. They are arrogant, unbending and so conservative they refuse to learn English or adapt to any of the USA's customs. As a result, this city is more Latino than Latin America! In all the worst ways!
