The author mentions Bradenton as a good place to live in FL. I’ve lived here for almost three years now and when my lease is up I’m getting out of Bradenton. Why? There’s nothing to do without driving to St. Pete/Tampa. I mean nothing! If someone knows something I’ve missed, then please write me and fill me in.

Better think twice before moving to Austin. Yes, its a great place, but there are no jobs. There is a huge pool of cheap labor with the number of universities in the area. I always see articles that say Austin has a hot job market and is a hot place for real estate. If you can make it on $8 an hour as a cashier at Target or $9.37 at Dell taking inbound phone calls from the rudest people in America, come on out. There are plenty of foreclosures and cheap apartments to choose from, and plenty of traffic to sit in while the democrats who still drive around with anti-Bush stickers on their cars would rather fight something they have no control of (like troops in Iraq) than do something practical, like getting the stop lights properly timed so traffic will flow. And for those thinking of moving to Orange County, CA because of the TV shows, don’t. Irvine is smack in the middle of OC. Very expensive and very crowded. Disneyland costs something like $70 per person now.

I definitely agree about the 3 Florida cities. I currently live in Coral Springs (for 2 years now) and lived in Sunrise for the 8 years prior. Nothing in these areas is particularly attractive anymore, although you certainly won’t be bored with all of the entertainment options in the immediate vicinities (and especially with Ft. Lauderdale only 15 minutes away).
