Star Rating - 3/31/2007
Let me say that i believe every post has some truth to it and i agree with most of them.first let me say that life is what you make it so do your homework first! fl overall is overrated what you see on tv are areas that are for tourist but u need to see the big picture here!! fun decent nite life, low wages(due to immigration), so-so traffic(could be worse),low skill jobs,poor public schools (literacy rate is very low) and transp.(like everywhere), nice, friendly people, housing(own or rent)prices for nice clean,safe place is too expensive. people from ny/nj are even looking to leave due to high cost of living and the low wages (even w/degree!!!) dont brush off the neg. post b/c i did and i am disappointed but experience is the best teacher i'm goin back north/midwest and never again complain. Fl is a great place to visit but not to live!!!!
