That's the main reason people don't want people moving to Florida........
Too many people.

Then there are the Snow Birds...............

You can tell when it's Fall in Florida,
The license plates change colors.

I grew up in the Philadelphia area. After serving in the USAF, I moved to Florida in 1969. In 1970, bought a house in Altamonte Springs off Balmy Beach Drive. That was before the Altamonte Mall was built, and before Disney opened. By the time you moved there the town had already more than tripled from 1970 mainly thanks to Disney. Disney totally changed central Florida. In 1980 I moved to the Bear Lake area to get away from the crowds in Altamonte. That area also built up.

Not only did the street traffic keep growing, so did the river and lake boat traffic. The St Johns River got so crowded I'd tow my boat to Deland and head north instead of launching at the boat ramp by the I-4 bridge.

In 1992 I moved to the Pacific NW in the foothills of Mt Rainier, best move I ever made. I shouldn't have said that, we don't need any more people moving here either.

I still visit family and friends in Florida every year, but only in the winter months. We stay in Astoria where it's still peaceful. We rent a pontoon boat to revisit Silver Glen Springs, my favorite place to go every chance I had when I lived there.

I lived south of 436 off Hattaway Drive for 27 years from 1979. A job took me there.

I NEVER took the boat out on a holiday weekend!
Been to Silver Glenn Springs many times, by boat!
Put in at Sanford and Deland.
I really liked having the Resident's Pass for Disney! I do miss that.
But I finally got tired of sweating 10 months out of the year.
Moved back to PA after the kids got <quasi> stable.

I love it when some people say negative things about people who say negative things.

Someone has to....just doing my part.

Except I'm doing it behind their backs....no sense being rude.

The paradise we had in the 1940's & 1950's has gone, it no longer exists here.

Put them on your “ignore” list. Problem solved!

Sorry. Right. But it does block their posts. Helps a tad

If you put someone on Ignore, they are blocked from sending you a private message.

If you browse UHH via the "newest topics" link at top of this page, their new topics will not be included. But, if you don't use "newest topics," as you browse you'll see their new topics with a flag beside their name: "Ignored" ...in case you forget you were trying to ignore them

LOL.

UHH was my first online forum of any kind. I signed up with a user name I had created for a now-defunct email address, having no idea it would be what everyone sees every time I post to UHH.

I had already lived in Yakima a decade when I joined UHH
