10 Worst Cities To Move To In Florida For 2022

[@foreignofficeclub5815]

The big difference between an inner city ghetto and a rural ghetto is that you can walk a few blocks to be out the inner city ghetto and it is part of a wider City with different areas within its boundaries. In a rural setting, you are stuck there and have to go miles and miles to have a break.

[@reallydarlings-se2xf]

Lake City is a hole in the earth with a seemingly endless selection of dollar stores, gas stations, filthy and run-down strip-malls, vape shops and cannabis sellers. Bizarre architectural hodge-podge in every neighborhood. Where's the planning commission? Crawling with homeless who seem to have zero support from local leadership. I've lived in 3rd world countries and this is comparable. Abysmal. Thank God I've only had to have occasional drive-thrus.

Lived in Titusville in 1990 and I worked a paper route in an area nobody would deliver in. I carried a weapon but once they got used to me going in and why, no problem. We were broken in on, dude tried to break in my boys' room. Moved, daughter was born, came back from the hospital, got up and car was gone. The car was one month old and was taken to Mims and wrecked. Cops wouldn't prosecute because they said he was only 15, like that's an excuse.

I think you are a little off about Jacksonville. Housing prices have almost doubled in the last year. Not really something that would happen if the place is as "undesirable" as you say it is. Jacksonville DOES have some bad neighborhoods, but you have to understand that Jacksonville is the largest geographical city in the country. It's like 20 cities in one. The bulk of Jax is amazing. Just because a small portion of the city on the west side or north side is sketchy, doesn't make the whole city bad.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

The appreciation comes from how cheap it was. The reason it was cheap is that people have been leaving the area. We made a video about moving to Jacksonville recently check that out

You have listed areas from all across the state. You are right about some smaller places not being very welcoming to new comers because the new comers are the ones bringing in all the problems. My wife and I are old now and both grew up in Tampa. It was a nice place in the 60s through the mid 80s. We now live75 miles north of Tampa in a rural area and love it. If you think you going to move here from up north and make Florida like the place you're running from you are going to find that people here won't like you. I've been all over the country and everywhere has problems so if you think Florida doesn't you are sadly mistaken. So spare us and stay where you are.

I lived/grew up in Florida (Tampa) for decades and due to work, I became extremely familiar with all of the state. I traveled all over Florida - from Pensacola to Key West. For those not familiar with the state, a substantial and significant part of the state is rural living. Unless you have money and/or you earn a lot of it, you can expect a lot of what you see in this video. I know all of these towns and cities. South Florida is the part of Florida that I have never been fond of and never had any desire to live there: from Lake Okeechobee and especially the Southeastern part of the state (From FT Pierce to especially the greater Miami area, Homestead and most of the Keys). In addition, north of Tampa, no thanks either.

[@AMomentInTimeProductions]

Yeah that tells you this was once a great place until the losers moved into it.. As i always say, don't want your community to turn into a shithole just make it impossible to live there unless you have a good job and steady income.. No Low cost housing No government assistance, also all the land lords who would rent make it so that you can't rent here if you have a felony.. i use to live in a place called Danvers In Massachusetts, best and safest place you can live, why? there is no rental property available there if you want to live there you have to buy a house there or condo. and the average cost to live there was very high, right now i think if you want to live in Danvers,Ma you need to make about $85,000.00 a year or more and $85,000.00 would be on the low end. The cheapest house you could get there is probably in the range or $500,000.00 to $600,000.00 and up, and as i said that is on the low end so if you want to live there you have to have a good job or be pretty wealthy to do it.. And The Police and the court systems don't play there, i remember one guy came from lynn,ma a shithole and decided to rob some ones house in Danvers and broke in and the people next door call the police and he got caught.. He was arrested and then found guilty of the crime and sentence to 18 years in prison it was armed burglary. The Defendant was shocked of what he got for a Sentence as if that was crazy, probably done it before in his community and got maybe 60 days lol. Not In Danvers, you do that there your screwed.. As a matter of fact all the Politicians and Police and Judges and mayors and all them Live In Danvers, Even celebrities from around there that is where they live... So think about it A Judge who lives there gets a criminal in front of him at his bench charged with Robbing a fellow Danvers residence that got robbed what do you think that judge is going to do? He is going to think i don't want shit like that happening to me or my friends i'm going to throw the book at this clown.... I remember this entire ordeal like it was yesterday, i was friendly with the police there use to go to the convenience store that they all go do got friendly with all they nice people and telling me the entire ordeal about it.. Judges there will slam any outsiders who come into Danvers to cause trouble, i remember once who got busted for road rage and got out of his car hit some ones car with a bat, making threats just because he wanted to illegally pass this guy driving like the asshole, and almost got into an accident so he decided to make it the other guys fault and start with the road rage bullshit. The cops arrived, arrested this guy and once again in front of the judge, and got 5 years in prison for doing that in In Danvers. Think about that 5 years for Assault, property damage to a car, armed assault, the Judged slammed this idiot, If he knew anything about that area and what they do to criminals he should have just moved on or not even pass though that town.. As i say they don't play games with criminals in Danvers, if you don't live there and you decided to be an ass and do something stupid expect to get heavy jail time, i never seen an outsider commit a crime in Danvers and not get stiff Jail time ,There is no such thing as probation or community service suspended sentence's punishments for outsiders there NOPE!!!

Ugh....Arcadia. Such a desolate, forlorn, rundown old dump. Located in the middle of nowhere, it's an eerie place with more than a few gutted, empty (read: haunted) mansions standing on the verge of collapse.

I’m from Philadelphia and relocated to Florida with my mother. She was ready for retirement and I’d recently been laid off, and decided to try somewhere new. Her friend told her how wonderful Inverness was, and it’s booming economy, and small town charm. She completely lied. 😂 There weren’t any jobs and whether it was Citrus County, Marion County, or Sumter County, it was all the same. Poverty with low wage jobs, tons of dilapidated trailers, and drugs everywhere. We tried Tampa, and while not as bad, it wasn’t much better. Pennsylvania isn’t perfect but, in my opinion, it’s better than Florida by tenfold. We’re so grateful to be back.

BRING YOUR OWN JOB: Tech, computer, ebay sellers, unless you want to work in a call center. There has never been a proliferation of office jobs or well-paid jobs. Popularized AFTER 1950s air-conditioning availability (schools were nit even a/c until 1970s), retirees/many Canadians, headed here for 6mo. residency often in trailers. No longer affordable, even the smallest no maintenance block houses, 2 bdrm w. carport, rent or own... IS WAY TOO EXPENSIVE SINCE 2021-2, as the $800-1k rent or house payment folks ...has officially left the building.

The remarks about people being in denial allowing gangs to have the run of the city are very accurate. They certainly describe Jacksonville...But...that leaves the police department as a sort of security force outside the areas ceded to the gangs. Property crimes are very very low here. Our young people kill each other for fun. The communities where they run things are very very dangerous when they are present...like alligators. But its not something you will see every day as a working person with a regular schedule and a mortgage.

I live in Union County, pretty close to both old Town and even closer to Lake city. I won't argue too much at all about your assessment of old Town. A ton of poverty and all the trappings that come with it. Definitely some pros but a lot more cons . On the other hand I think youre giving lake city a bad wrap that's pretty much undeserved. I dont live there so I don't believe I'm being biased or taking your assessment personally. Lake city does have a few hood Hotspots that's undeniable. White hood areas around the five points area and legit on the other side of the tracks off of 90 is the typical hood that almost every city has. Once you're out of those areas it's pretty much a ton of positives. You do get a smaller town traffic feel which is nice because it isn't as populated as gainesville or ocala . You are 30 to 40 minutes or closer by ambulance from some of the best health care in the south east. You are an hour or so from beaches to the east you are a little over an hour from amazing fishing and kayaking on the gulf to the west. You are surrounded by more springs stateparks and rivers than its even worth listing here. You're day trip distance from Valdosta, Tallahassee, Jacksonville , and within 2 to 3 hours from Orlando or Tampa. The taxes are low the real-estate is reasonable and it's slower pace if that's what you're into. Plenty of dining, shops and a halfway okay theater. Plenty of jobs as well. Also jacksonville is 875 square miles the state of Rhode Island is like 1200. Every side of jax is like a different city. Some of them suck really bad, some of them suck less and some are pretty decent.

The only place with opportunities is Tampa. Fort Walton beach is nice but just keep in mind that its a small place with limited everything there are no larger cities anywhere near the panhandle. Pensacola (banjos playing) is practically like living In Alabama SOLID PASS on that. The real question is small beach town or bigger city whats best for you. Tampa you better be talking a good area.. traffic sucks and the city is ghetto for sure. If you don’t mind a smaller area the beach town is great. Tampa end up in Lakewood Ranch or Wesley Chapel and expect a commute. Dunedin is nice too just north of clearwater. South tampa is great but expect a price tag

Titusville lost thousands of high paying jobs after the space shuttle program was closed down. Like 5000 direct jobs, 15,000 support jobs and businesses, GONE!

Some of those rural isolated areas could be quite beautiful if it wasn’t for the crime and junk left outside the houses. What causes it, drugs, poverty or just backwards attitudes?

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

that and more. the people ruin a beautiful place

Idk but he didn’t show fort Mcoy which he said was the worth city. He showed the ghost town of island grove Florida

I live in a Southside neighborhood in Jacksonville. I have quiet neighbors that keep to theirselves. Lived there for 4 years now, and never any problems. I have a buddy that lives in a different neighborhood across town, and same thing. Never any issues. It depends on where you are.

I would like to see the havana fl Reston area out before quincy.....also the monticello area...what are these 2 areas like?

[@nenasegree1557]

monticello is very rural with lots of open pastures and beautiful old homes. like any old place in Florida there are pockets of run down buildings but for the most part Monticello is beautiful. Has one of the oldest opera houses still in operation and a small downtown area that is...quaint. haven’t been to havana in a long time so no comment there.

[@carriearthur3906]

I have a question. So I ended up in the Tampa area (Port Richey). TBH we moved to where we could find a place to rent. A lot of the locals complain about this area and say it’s terrible. I don’t think it’s that bad. I came from Spokane Washington and it’s bad there. My question is, am I blind? Is it really that bad? So far I haven’t felt unsafe. In fact the only place I have felt un safe was downtown Daytona. In a year our lease is up and we will search for a place to buy. Hubby is in love with Spring Hill but it’s not exactly what I want. I want more of a city vibe.

[@luisLopez-lg5wk]

Spring Hill sucks

[@mariamercy7317]

Port Richey and New Port Richey aren't as bad as people say. In both I have friends and family who have lived there for many years and have never had any problem. Spring Hill is nice, but I say like you, "It isn't for me" because it's more on the slow side. Lol

[@mariamercy7317]

I know a wonderful Realtor in Spring Hill, (not necessarily for you to buy a house there) since it isn't for you nor me. Lol... One thing I know is that most everything is less expensive in Spring Hill than Tampa.

[@paichmeredith8626]

I lived in Tampa then Pinellas County. I never felt unsafe. I feel more threatened being in Harrisburg, PA. I wish I could go back to FL.

[@ronin4073]

Try moving to Brandon, or Riverview. Nice areas to live in, and they're both just getting better every year! If u do have the opportunity to move outa Florida, take it

[@user-ms4ef8xz9t]

This was one of the most entertaining video about FLA. It counters Nick's pretty well. The unique rural problems part was hilarious. Having grown up in NC, I am all too familiar with that type of problem. Going out into the country can be a very ugly trip back in time. That's such a shame. I have lived in the country a couple of times. There are a lot of honest hard working people there. Too bad some of them are still fighting the Civil War.

[@douglasthompson8927]

entertaining ?

[@carrollrhodes4050]

@@douglasthompson8927 His mind set is capitalist transition. At least there is opportunity for improvement. However go to Cuba, WHERE HE IS FROM, and if you are fortunate enough to improve your environment, you have to bring your neighbors along with you. If not you are a capitalist and subject to prosecution which could include the loss of your capitalist assets all the way up to the possibility of execution, depending on how much you have offended the communist state. Give me a shack in Ft. McCoy any day!

[@ITIsFunnyDamnIT]

None of those places are real rural areas and no surprise at all. Except Moon Lake which is a place I never heard of and I've lived in Florida my whole life. The small rural town I live in is fairly safe for the most part. Most of the places you mentioned in this video are urban areas within the city limits of bigger cities. No surprises here

[@Ruralfloridatours]

Perry is 40 min from any city and is the forestry capitol of the south. Fort Mcoy is 30 min from any place. Lake city is a farm town and so is Pahokee . Old town is in the country but basically a huge trailer park. He didn’t actually show fort Mcoy he showed a ghost town in Alachua county called island grove .

Moon lake is east of Port Richie in Pasco county out in the sticks

Try Google reviews on any apartments that you're interested in. Or get a 6 month lease so you're not committed in case you have to move.

That’s very vague. What city or town are you moving to?

[@pattib1914]

@@jakano80 well I am on the Northeast coast so I wouldn’t be able to help much. But I can tell you that the area has been it about 4 times in the past 20 years. And what I mean by that is probably about 100 miles North and South of Tampa. I am about 50 miles NNE if Gainesville and our worst storms hit was coming from the Gulf. Of course we don’t get a direct hit, but are usually add a power for at least 10 to 12-14 days. This time it stayed way to South to due damage here. Only had about 2 inches of rain and some small tree branches down. I feel so bad for those that got hit hard.

Can't believe they're so many small towns that are so ghetto like these days, back in my hitchhiking days in the 80's and 90's I don't remember seeing small town America with so many shitty, crime ridden small communities and Arcadia is not even near a large city!!
