Default Florida and overpopulation in 20 years

Some predict Florida will seem a lot like southern California in 1-2
decades as far as population, expense, and pollution. I hope they are
wrong, but something tells me they aren't when I see the traffic here
keep getting worse and worse.

Heck, its like that now. As Jimmy Buffett said in 1974...
Now most of the people who retire in Florida
are wrinkled and they lean on a crutch.
And mobile homes are smotherin' my Keys;
Well I hate those *******s so much.
I wish a summer squall would blow them
all the way up to fantasy land.
They're ugly and square, they don't belong here.
They look a lot better as beer cans.

Brevard County still OK, but growing quickly. Where are you?

I notice that much of the land on the Intracoastal Waterway (Halifax
River) in Volusia County is being bought up by developers for condos. Much
of the land on the ocean already has condos in place.

North Central Florida (Gainesville), where there's still a bit
of the original Florida left to see. =R=

Just leave it to the sharks to fix things. I hear that they are biting
more than usual this Summer. ;-)

Nature may be doing its best to discourage it.
