I live in SWFL and see a large influx of people coming in, it is straining resources. Sarasota is growing UP with a lot of tall buildings so even more people are moving into that space going up and out. It’s always a good idea to check the local resources, quality of water and pros and cons before committing. I’ve been in Florida since 1988 and it’s not slow and easy anymore. So many more people adds cars, traffic, more animal casualties and more pollution. Less wide open spaces to roam.
I live in Florida and it is still slow and easy if you move into the right smaller cities and rural
areas. There are some great small towns close by to larger areas. Prices are lower, traffic is
not a problem and local governments work for the residents.
Consider small cities as Mulberry, Bartow, Fort Meade, Dade City, Lake City, Plant City,
Cedar Key, Wauchula, Sebring, Lake Placid, and many others. Many of these small towns
have a good quality of living. Florida living does not necessarily meaning the “household
name” communities.
