Not worth the cost of living
-
9/12/2019
I live in Boynton and every year it gets worse down here... The heat has been unbearable for months and the city is overcrowded! A simple errand can take much longer than it should, and a lot of drivers are rude and aggressive. Expect to sit through 3 lights when turning into any Publix, and bad traffic USED to be more seasonal but now it's just Bad and Worse. The cost of living is far too high for what the average resident can afford and even when one can afford to be Middle Class, it's just not worth the extra money. Prices are high for everything, especially housing, but even simple entertainment and services are out of reach for many of us. There are many public spots where addicts and homeless reside, this area was and is flooded by sober living houses, many run by fraudulent owners. The beach was a nice thing but that was when the water was mostly safe and free from flesh eating bacteria and Red Tide. But the worst thing lately is the endless heat. It doesn't stop, it's worse every year and I'm a Native. I'd leave South Florida if I could, but my elderly parents live here.
