Coconut Creek, FL
The Real Estate Agents Won't Tell You This -
3/26/2006 Native Floridians are very nice people, but you won't find many of them in Coconut Creek. What you will find are many pushy aggressive people that have moved to Coconut Creek from Brooklyn, N.Y., and Columbia. As it turns out, since south Florida is a melting pot for countless South American, and Carribean Island cultures, that the different Hispanic groups do not get along with each other polically. It seems that Columbians and Brazilians get along, but dislike other Spanish speaking people, so they have converged and bought up the area townhouses to build up their culture. That is well and good, but the area becomes less English speaking/culture every year. What makes it bad is the people from Brooklyn. You try to get off an elevator, and they physically push you into the back of the elevator. They are loud, aggressive, opinionated, and largely talk in street slang. Coconut Creek is a nice place, but the clash of cultures there makes it a strage place to live. It was ok before the property values shot up 250% in three years. I took the profit and left Florida. When I return it will be to q quieter town in Florida, where native Floridians live, less frenetic, less manic, less crowded. I guess that means I will not be returning to southeast Florida, but somewhere else in the state where the culture is old fashioned, where you can be proud of the United States without hearing people constantly slam the U.S. and say that their countries were much better to live in, if only there were jobs there...
