I have been to Dade City often enough over the years to know how much that it needs jobs, especially blue collar jobs making things. Although the seat of booming coastal Pasco County, Dade City is east of I-75 and has had little prosperity until the last decade as development moved inland and its lower housing costs proved attractive to commuters.

The resulting spurt of gentrification in Dade City though has not brought much in the way of employment for blue collar workers. In twenty minutes one can drive from booming new suburbs and shopping centers to rural areas on the interior east side of the county that are stricken by unemployment and poverty.
