Tampa is the Pits

Tampa used to be a much better place to live. It is now a "toilet" It is crime ridden, dirty and deteriorating rapidly. The roads can barely handle the constant influx of new "Floridians", and the wages are grossly inadequate with respect to the rapidly growing cost of living. Real estate speculation and "investors" have made it virtually impossible to buy a home here in Tampa. Unless of course, you want to buy an highly overpriced "fixer upper" in a less than desirable area. As for the weather, winter is mild, summer is oppressively hot and humid. Beach areas are slowly being gobbled up by developers and a day at the beach can be quite a costly endeavor.( parking,traffic etc...) I am biding my time until I can escape.
