Review of Orlando, Florida

Star Rating - 5/21/2013
Listen, Orlando isn't that bad! You probably just ran into some negative people. I've lived in Florida for almost 15 years and not once have people been mean to me! believe me, the most dangerous city in America (top 100) is East St. Louis, IL and Orlando is only #67, the traffic is a okay except for rush hour sometimes cause people need to work in Downtown, sorry but yes the worst city for pedestrians is Kissimmee, but the risks are heightened due to states’ failures to invest in safety-focused infrastructure. I’m sorry you had a bad time in Orlando but don’t hate on us because of your bad experiences.

Orlando, in fact the I-4 corridor is really a BAD AREA to live, as is much of Florida. Orlando through Tampa has HORRIBLE interstate traffic, and rush hours do not rush, you can expect the interstate to be a standstill or crawl for peak hours with LOTS of accidents. People either drive too slow or too fast and do not respect slowing down for fog or frequent rain. All areas along that corridor are high crime, high drug and highly hispanic with a mix of more rural rednecks. The HEAT is HORRIBLE due to the humidity, so for 9 months of the year its like trying to breath through a straw. There are two seasons, WAAY TOO HOT and Warm. A few cold days just to say you had a winter. Do yourself a HUGE favor and just SKIP FL, unless you are fluent in spanish, don't drive and hate being outdoors. And have a GREAT working a/c unit that is HOOKED to a generator as hurricanes LOVE crossing central FL-which leads to being with out power for 2 days to 2 weeks, depending if you are on a line that feeds a hospital or walmart. Our nighttime LOWS are 78-79, that's just unbearable with humidity so thick it feels like you are moving through and trying to breath melted pudding. NOT EMBELLISHING, this is how it is here. NEVER a breeze unless there is a storm. Lots of people from all over, tourists, NYers, nut cases. Bad mix.
