I live in Tampa for nearly 18 years and moved out by 2001. I couldn't believe the corruption in city council and beyond, the sad destruction of pristine wilderness and spring fed rivers. These were horrible crimes. Locals did take action and stand up, waited in long lines after work to speak their minds at city council meetings. Some battles to save trees and delicate ecosystems were won, most lost. To make way for what? Cookie cutter homes that fall apart within 10 years. That's just the beginning. right on, James S.

I've hunted wild hogs in Rotunda before there were hardly any houses at all in there. My father took us to Disney World when it first opened. I've seen pretty much just about everything there is in Florida. Its my birth state I do love it for that. However, yea, there's a however in there. The FLORIDA I knew and loved is gone. The Florida of the 1970's where you could talk to a landowner and go hunting or fishing on their property is gone. There are so many golf courses that you'd swear the entire state has had to have sunk down at least 1 inch just due to the sheer weight of golf balls present on the land. The heat and humidity have started soaring to where its almost unbearable anymore. The summer is horrendous. When you talk about 90+ Degrees with a relative humidity of 88% (average) that’s makes for a MISERABLE time. Try to go somewhere on the gulf coast between New Port Richey and Naples during Tourist Season... FORGET IT. You can forget what a restaurant is during that time, you will not get into one. The problem is that the service industry doesnt pay wages so that employees can even hardly make a living - yet the owners of the establishments make millions of dollars. Not Right. There are two levels of income in Florida, POVERTY and WEALTHY and few and far between in between. Try to buy a small house, just try. Get a little 2bed, 2 bath on 80X80 lot and it will set your silly A$$ back up to 175 Thousand dollars on average depending where you get it. That is beyond imagination and beyond belief. My father moved to Venice Florida in 1969 when he worked for General Telephone and had a house built for $19,000.00 including the LOT, with a POOL! It was an oversized lot too. That house now sells for over $300,000.00 - and its not a very nice looking house (ive driven by it last time I was there). So, whats good about Florida? its a nice place to visit if you have Money and some time to waste. But dont think its a great place to live or stay for a long time. The summer is coming and so is tourist season. US41 and I75-95 will turn into Parking Lots. The Temperatures will drop you to your knees in sweat and you will feel like you have walked into a sauna with no means of escape. But, I am a Native Floridian and I always will be.. However - I live near the Mountains in South Carolina because this is truly heaven on Earth! I was born and raised in Florida, lived there my whole life.

It is also known by the local folks that the area around the whole theme park megapixel has been ruined and thousands of acres of wetlands and general habitat are gone forever. Mickey’s doings have polluted the area aquifer and has drawn down the local water table in that area to dangerously low levels. And so it is so beautiful to see that like that..
