You wouldn't believe what a paradise SE Fla was like before the massive influx of "New Yawkas" for the last 30 or 40 years. They came, they made it into every bit of the shithole they left in NY & some of them moved up to Ga. or the Carolinas so they could hate 'em too.
As a Native of Fla. I resent them doing all this to us - just like the caravan people are trying to do to the US by storming our southern border. Every one of them is gimme, gimme gimme cause you owe me, I'm an asshole & I'm poor...
Sorry - Rant /off. It just burns my ass that the assholes who came here & ruined it for everyone else have placed a black mark on Real Floridians... which they ain't.
Not all of us New Yorker's are bad. Even back home, New York CITY is kinda hated by the rest of the state. Where I came from it very rural, WNY and most of central NY are farmlands, a couple cities, but very RED and conservative. No accents, far less douche-baggery. NYS and NYC are completely different places.
For the record, I give everyone here a pass on the New York thing. I have kids who live in Westchester & a granddaughter who lives in NYC & works for (ugh) Twitter. President Trump is from NY & I give him a pass too.
I was really lamenting on the influx of retirees back in the 1970's & later which drove developers to hastily put up cheap condos & sell them by the thousands. A lot of these developments would have "Shopping Days" where they would bus their people to grocery stores etc. Sounds nice but these folks would all show up in one store at the same time, load up their carts to the brim & then all hit the checkout at the same time. "Give all 200 of us a 20% discount or we leave all our shopping carts right here" This was happening on a regular basis & finally the stores banned entry of anyone affiliated with certain retirement "villages".
I was working as a telephone installer at the time & if I installed one jack, they wanted 2. If I installed 2 or three, they wanted an extra one in each bathroom. (This was before cell phones or even cordless). The all wanted more, more, more & gave nothing in return but a hard time. There are plenty more examples I could tell but that's the core of why I feel the way I do about NY.
Upstate is absolutely as beautiful as you say but the city just sux unless you really, really have to have Chinese food at 3 AM.
Sorry for the rant.
