Reason 1027 FL is a shithole? Serious question.

I will lay this out there again, because for some reason it falls on deaf ears

Such strong language Farmer. I am not going to defend florida because I am not from
here, moved for a job but where I live in florida has some advantages. ie I can pump my own gas, no vehicle inspection, no smog laws. That means I can drive a dragster with wheelie bars and a parachute down the road as long and it has headlights and tail lights. And yes I agree, the people that thru trash in my car have a pretty straight family tree.

Strong language?

Yep, and of all of those things, I get pleasure of cruising around with the top down and no one chucking garbage in my car.

You presented it, and questioned it.

Seems like a lovely place to live, I apologize. You enjoy.

I live in Palm Beach county and work in Broward county. This place is a shell of it's former self. The countdown is on, 10 yrs and bye bye birdie.

Florida has more people moving there than any other state. I grew up just over the state line in Alabama. Other than their football team Florida is a pretty cool state.

It's a shame, they're building everywhere. Grass is becoming scarce.

Driving skills went downhill after the pandemic. Badly.

I wouldn't say that, I'd say that everyone is just disconnected. No regard for the other guy.

You are right about disregard. Its sad to see people get angry when they dont know how to drive. A U turn is a prime example. People making a right hand turn while others are making a uturn think they have the right of way and honk their horn. THEY HAVE A RED LIGHT and are are suppose to yield. The people who have the U-turn get a GREEN light and have the right of way. Kills me.

Good point Johnfin. Also, let's not forget that Florida is a state where your road test is given in a parking lot. I think that says a lot right there.

THats not true. My son just took his, was on the real streets. Some places may have that but the DMV I took him to let him hit the streets.

Good to know, I thought it was a statewide thing.
