I agree with you 100%. I lived there for 1 year and left for the same reasons.
AB-SO-LOOT-LEEEE correct.
I live smack dab in the middle of it (Broward county), and I find NO fault with your statement. I moved here permanently in 1964 and it was a wonderful place. My parents had moved here in 1948 and it was even better.
Now? I am searching for a civilized place to live.
Pity.
Amen, tho’ Dade County (or Miami-Dade as they style them selves now) is, if anything even more corrupt and hostile to we “non-Hispanic whites” or “Anglos”. Some of the western/Panhandle, Good Ole Boy run counties are no slouches at traditional corruption either.
Broward County is the destination of choice for Latin Americans looking to prepare a bolt hole against bad times at home, plant an anchor baby or shelter some capital from the Socialists running the shi*holes they come from.
We’re the destinantion of choice for the English speaking carribbean too (Oh Joy!). Imagine the fun of not being able to understand the cab driver or dispatcher even when they speak (allegedly) the same language you do! Forget getting a native born cabbie, they ran them out off years ago. Construction jobs? Univerally taken by the latins.
Absolutely cannot wait to retire and move back to America.
