I strongly recommend the Sarasota area. It's beautiful and conservative. Kind of like Ann Coulter. We go to Long Boat Key a couple of times every year. It's absolute paradise. I believe the Sarasota economy is quite strong. Of course housing on the Gulf or Harbor is quite expensive, I believe it's somewhat reasonable in the city of Sarasota.
Good Luck with your search and subsequent move.
lol.
cameras on the stoplights, though? I guess some people think that's conservative.
I wouldn't think Sarasota's economy is exactly hot -- except as it serves the old money there. Old money can be a good boost to an economy.
Several other folks have recommended the Sarasota area. Looks like I'll be checking it out. Thanks for your help.
