Only the Wealthy can Survive Here

Palm Beach County, in general has become a place for only the very wealthy to live. The average cost of a home in West Palm Beach is 430K. I never imagined this area getting so expensive, but it has. I'm one of those people who remember when Palm Beach County WAS affordable. People are leaving because of the high taxes and insurance, crime, poor schools and housing costs. Broward & Dade Counties continue to move Northward, invading Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie Counties. It's like a cancer. There are an estimate 1,000 Gangs in West Palm Beach. So much negativity here. The biggest problem in Palm Beach County is that there are NO jobs and NO major corporations. And employers do not want to pay good salaries. Our local Government and Governor ARE a JOKE. High cost of living here, but the jobs do not pay. Unless you are extremely wealthy, I don't recommend living here. It's not worth it. People are leaving this area and moving to either North Florida, or out of the State.
