Wow! Ya'll really put out the welcome mat: TERRIBLE cable service, TERRIBLE government, TERRIBLE vermin of every description. Mosquitoes, panthers, sharks!! Don't tell them about the roads and bridges, for God's sake!
That is a huge bummer- we have a similar situation in Ventura County- where I am from. We produce a huge portion of produce for the US and builders are aggressively buying land and putting in condos and housing tracts. The problem is that Socal is already so crowded plus where will our produce come from? In any case- I am sorry this is SoWal's situation. I am looking to move to a slower pace of life and I am optimistic that I will find that along teh Emerald Coast.You mean the road with the 15 ft deep sinkhole that almost swallowed a pickup truck? I guess people don't need to know the current infrastructure in SoWal doesn't support the growth now and if developers continue to have their way with over-development and ignoring or rewriting the land development code and comp plan, the infrastructure may never catch up.
Buyer beware...while SoWal may look like Utopia, your little piece of the promised land may have more than it's share of long range issues. Don't expect help from local government either....most of them are in the proverbial bed with developers and are NOT citizen friendly!
