An absolute living HELL

5/17/2007
I've lived in 7 cities and traveled all over the United States and this place is by far the worst place in America. I only live here because I am divorced and my ex-wife who is an idiot (she fits in) moved here with my son.
Climate--Worst in the country--95 degrees and humid 225 days a year. If the newspaper says the high is 88 it is actually 95. I think Disney bribes someone to lie about the weather to attract more tourists. The crime is horrible. Since Puerto Ricans love theme parks they have all moved here. Unfortunately Puerto Rico has one of the highest murder rates in the world; now Orlando does too. There is no culture because the average IQ of the average local is about 50. Who else would move to the only city in Florida without a beach except for the "theme park mentality." The food is the worst I have ever tasted. It is 100% chain restaurants or dogfood which is price gauged because everyone assumes anyone who eats here will not be back. This place is a cultural abyss and the people are as provincal as any on earth. Somehow they got a professional sports team but the average fan doesn't even know the rules of basketball and is more concerned with a free t-shirt than any knowledge of the game. The city has more tolls than any city in the state and the worst traffic because of the worst designed roads in America. I feel like I have a prison sentence stuck here. I've lived in seven places and this is the first place I've ever lived that doesn't have a single redeaming quality. If it wasn't for Disney World nobody would live here and the people that came here for Disney, you wouldn't want to live with. The only thing I can compare Orlando to is Atlantic City a mile west of the coast. Here is the keeper, housing costs are off the charts. Not only is this place a dump, you pay though the nose to live here. If you are thinking about moving here, don't, you will ruin your life. Orlando is truly hell on earth.
