I don't recommend living here

I've lived in West Palm Beach for 9 years and it's only because my fiance didn't want to move until now. The crime is horrible, everyone I know has had either their house broken into or their car broken into. The traffic is horrendous, there are so many drivers that don't have a license and have no clue what to do with a vehicle. There's neverending road construction and traffic jams. My homeowner's insurance went from $2500 up to $4000 in one year. The schools are a joke. My son's kindergarten class has 22 children and 1 teacher, and 4 kids don't speak any English at all. The schools are so overcrowded that they have to bring in "portables" for classrooms, which are little one room trailers. It's so hot and humid it's like torture stepping out your front door from May until October. If you can find one kind and friendly person in your day you think you've won the lottery. The only people that like it here are the ones that move from a third world country because they don't know any better. Stay away is my only advice.
