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.

What a coincidence. I grew up in Drexel Hill PA and lived on Genevieve Drive off Hattaway. I never did well in Florida's relentless heat. I used to camp in my boat at the Glen to beat the heat. Also went to Wekiva Marina often, rented a canoe and paddled to the spring head for a swim. Also camped in our RV at Rock Springs. Back in the early 70s I took my boat up Blue Springs to the spring head. Those were the good old days.

I totally agree.... Lived in Pinellas county from 1960 till 2008. Worked and retired from Pinellas county utilities. Even decades ago salt water intrusion was a big concern... Certain wells off Keystone road in well fields were being shut down even back then. On another note sinkholes are a big problem with the voids created... How do I know, my ex son in law is a sinkhole attorney. Managing gray water during off growing seasons was a nightmare with golf course ponds containing and holding excess. My daughter says traffic is almost unbearable in north county now. As you stated though, Folks want to migrate to where the living is better, but overcrowding etc... always sneaks up on you. If everyone hates DeSantis and his policies WHY are they flocking to FL ? STAY up in NY or out in California. No one will miss you. I myself have a little cabin on 2 acres up on a mountain... traffic has not increased in 16 years on my little road... NO property taxes, Great neighbors and a relaxed lifestyle. Just like cameras, we all make some compromises.

Small world!
I passed Genevieve Drive a bazillion times!
I lived on Arvern.

In my 50 year marriage, and while I worked for the federal government for 22 years, we moved around to nine different addresses in six different states. There were pros and cons about each and every state, town and address. Our three sons each had a number of varied opinions regarding those moves, also. We all survived, and ended up in different states with our families. When necessary look for the positives and do what you can to change the negatives to acceptable points or maybe positives. Plus, we had the opportunity to travel through several areas of our country and see areas we may have never visited.

Perhaps they have a valid reason, such as West Texans do. We don't want more people - not because we're unfriendly or clannish (OK, we might be a little clannish) but because we do not have the one resource that is crucial for all life - water.

Congestion is necessary for life, or water is necessary for congestion?

Interesting concept.
The town I lived in starting in 1979 had 1/10th the congestion than when I left in 2006.
We did fantastic without the added congestion.
Our lives were better without the congestion.
So I can't see where congestion is necessary for life.
Water is necessary for the populace.
Populace causes congestion.
Two different, but related, scenarios.

Yup! Moved to Texas from Illinois 12 years ago and I always have the draught and yet when it rains it flooded.

No good spots for reservoirs? East of you we've got them all over.

I was asking what you were saying, not pushing congestion, which I abhor.
