yeah florida sucks... i live on the east coast... 4 miles from the beach, and havent been there in 3 years, to many paople, FLORIDA SUCKS!!!!!
i thought your car was a show car saleen
Hey....I live in Florida. Thought I was the only one on here that live in the land of snow birds... Thats cool.
98Cobra where on the east coast do you live?
Jacksonville, FL here - and this is one of the cheapest nice towns to live in here in FL. None of the south Florida wise guys and no snowbirds. Beach, river, no tourists - just a major business/port/shipping/financial town. Cheap property taxes with MUCH LESS poverty, crime, and economic/social disparity than in PR. Everything is cheap in Puerto Rico, especially life - check out the national crime rates/murder stats.
Damn.....you just convinced me to pack up and move to PR with your last post there
Eh, i kinda like New England. I'd miss the snow and the foilage
I based my statements on several figures - such as economics indicators that can be found on BLS.gov. If the dispersion of wealth in Florida was as drastic as it is in PR (ie: huge unemployment numbers, weak economic / avg wage data, and high metropolitan crime rates) then a blanket statement about the state of Florida would be well deserved. Situations like PR is currently in - especially given the higher than avg increases in prices coupled with decreases in tourism/ US importation - I would be very scared to live on an island with lots of poor, hungry people if I, myself, were doing well and had enough extra loot to drive around the city with my lambo doors up. Being as far away from San Juan as possibly is definitely a good way to circumvent that problem. However, the fact remains that regardless of how beautiful the island life is - it's isolated and the largest city/port/exit route in case of emergency is highly volatile and unsafe.

Where I was every house had bars on the window, every cab driver had some sort of weapon.
The cab driver I talked to said that some parts are nice but a lot of PR is crime infested and heavy into drug smuggling.
I would never own a nice car there.
The biggest problem I would have with living in PR is there are too many peurto ricans there.
Dealing with my wife and here family is about all I want to put up with. My father in law was born and raised in PR and he says it sucks and crime is terrible.
He and his family moved out of there as soon as they could
Oh he hates the vertical doors too.
