Review of Port Richey, Florida


You will melt
Star Rating - 12/21/2015
It's Florida, so yeah, it's hot. Way too hot. Why is this place populated? Keep an extra pair of clothes in your car because by the time you get there from your front door you'll be sweaty and need to change.

I'm from New Hampshire and used to be tan. Since moving to Florida I've never been whiter. I suspect my chance of contracting melanoma is virtually non-existant here. I only do yard work in December/January at night during cold fronts. So the exterior of my home is becoming a bit unruly. I'm writing this in December and my AC is currently on. Cooling my house to 75. What?!

Water is ridiculously priced. I guess that's unrelated to Climate, but thought I'd mention it. People here must have a broken internal thermometer in their brain or something. They get cold below 70 degrees. My AC unit crapped out (running constantly for three years will do that I suppose) and the repair man said I should keep my house at 80. LOL gg.

As I said, I'm from NH and love the cold. So keep that in mind when considering my opinion. But it seems this place is good for people that:
- don't own a fridge because it's too cold and don't want to catch pneumonia.
- are so anemic they own a battery operated mobile heating blanket.
- don't know what AC stands for.
- are anti social and want a good excuse to stay inside all day. Every day.
- appreciate slow and monotonous service.
- find beauty in abandoned shopping centers and other buildings.
- love sand. Sand everywhere. And sand spurs. They're a treat.

TL;DR: There are about 12 days of nice weather between December and January.
