St. Cloud/Kissimmee have adopted the Disney Management approach to everything. Their commitment to outragous laws and regulation go so far as to offer jail time for bumper stickers deemed "vulgar" and have instituted the physical measurement approach with cash fines to home owners who let their lawn grass exceed 3 1/2 inches. They allow private home owners to install speed bumps on city roadways at random and their school board is so nuts they require armed guards for each meeting. City officials have constently been replaced, reprimanded, and fined for using city employees, on city time to refurbish their private homes and repair personal vehicles, offered up huge tax incentives for the local Super Wal-mart after it threatened to leave town if they were not allowed to break the storeage container by-laws for retail business on their little stretch of rt 192, etc. etc....After 17 years I gave up and moved out.

We have a law that allows our grass to be only so high. If it gets too high, the city mows it and charges you. This city is a medium to low income town, code enforcement is always on someone's butt to paint their homes, etc. No rvs are allowed in the driveway (I guess you have to hide them from public view). A bunch of stupid laws made to benefit a few stupid people.

St. Cloud/Kissimmee.....

I remember when Orlando was a nice town on the drive from St. Petersburg to Daytona Beach.
Now it's wall to wall strip malls and amusement parks.
