You speak to SE Florida with that post. The rest of the state is pretty decent!
Unfortunately, it is true Central FL is going downhill. And there is alot of gang related crime coming in—most of the perpetrators and victims seem to have Hispanic surnames and questionable citizenship status!
Actually, I thought that most of the Hispanics coming into Central Florida were from Puerto Rico (ie US citizens). Nevertheless, there are much better places to live, places where the largest employer is not a six foot tall rat.
