STUART USED TO BE NICE, NOW IT HAS GONE ROTTEN -
10/6/2019.... our horrendous experience owning a home in this area is not based on a "small" or "isolated" incident. Our family has been involved with SE Florida since the mid 1950's, when Stuart did not even have traffic lights. Our current house in Hobe Sound, we have had for around 20 years. The traffic control device for the main intersection in Stuart was once an empty beer keg marking the center of the intersection - literally, no joke. It worked. We have watched sadly as the real estate interests have poisoned the area - the nasty, predatory realtors; the crooked snake-like local lawyers; the hoodlum cops and vengeful contractors who back them up, and the corrupt local politicians who "tend to the cesspool". The area has been poisoned, literally poisoned by the vulture-like realtors, the crooked local lawyers, cops and contractors who back them up - and how could we forget,,,, the corrupt politicians who grease the skids for these abusers of the disabled and elderly. Once upon a time, it was a really nice area, especially for fishing - now, it has become a cesspool of realtors and lawyers preying on the elderly and disabled, backed up by the cops and local contractors. It has become a nasty, rotten place. Really rotten. If you want to enjoy some Florida sunshine - stay in a hotel in Miami or Ft. Lauderdale or Pompano Beach, stay away from the Stuart/Hobe Sound/Jensen Beach/Palm City area. One of the few areas in America where you can see the charming locals using the "hold your nose" gesture to signify they have detected a seemingly Jewish person in the room. And blacks are openly hassled in public. A rotten, ugly place.

A SERIOUS DANGER ZONE FOR THE DISABLED AND ELDERLY -
10/6/2019Think twice before you buy a vacation or winter home in this area of Florida, really, think twice. The realtors are astonishingly lawless, predatory, and truly ruthless as are the local attorneys and law enforcement if God Forbid you express any kind of concern regarding abuse and/or fraud you are subjected to. The police will treat you like a dog. The realtors, lawyers, and law enforcement engage in bullying and blacklisting behavior like in the old days of the Klan. Many of the real estate offices in the area are "all white", even the big companies. A hideous, hideous area. And if you are disabled or elderly - forget you ever heard about this area of Florida, as soon as the realtors and lawyers and their police friends perceive you as disabled or elderly, as far as they are concerned - you are just a piece of meat to be carved up. It is a nasty, nasty area of Florida - it really it. It was one of the biggest mistakes of our lives to have bought a vacation home in this area.
