city is claustrophobic -
10/25/2016I thought It was just me, I moved here in late May 2016. I’m from northeast, been in Florida since August 2015. I live 6 miles from work and it takes me 17 minutes to get to work and 20 minutes to get home.(I have driven 20 mins to work before but that was 17 miles) I moved here from Mount Dora, FL for a better position in my company and now I wish I had never left. This city is claustrophobic for me, I have never lived in a forest before. The combination of the forest like 2 lane streets and the long lights has caused me anxiety while driving. I never would have moved here had I known, I also agree with the nothing to do and more expensive than lake county. And the summer here was hot, hot, hot, and soooo humid. The utilities are crazy, the rent is more and the food is expensive. Only thing to do here is go to the movies if you are not into sports. I have driven to Panama City Beach, Jacksonville and Orlando for something to do. Also you need to drive to Jacksonville or Orlando to get a decent price for airfare, my co-worker told me the Tallahasse airport charges the airlines more money, so the tickets out of here can be hundreds of dollars more than elsewhere and some airlines are not here. I am looking for another transfer within my company back to Lake county Florida area, although there is a 18 month waiting period between transfers. I’m out of here as soon as can. This place is not why I moved to Florida.
