South Florida--WORLD WIDE FRAUD CAPITAL

[libertad]

Excellent Commentary.............

The money press...the creation of more currency guarantees higher valuations in the future for fixed assets such as real estate....

What one must do is to be cognizant of what causes the ebb and flow of appraisal valuations...and to be ready to play a ten year game.....maybe a bit more ...maybe a bit less.....

But make no mistake .....the government taxes....sells debt....and prints money....

And when one can recognize a downward exuberance in prices....one must be ready to play the game....

Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

Like you, I'm a Chicagoan now living primarily in SoFla. My first read each morning is the Tribune.

Chicago is seeing a spate of weird murders in areas usually crime exempt. Florida seems to be getting safer and Chicago stranger.......

Increased crime is often a nasty side effect of gentrified areas. A lot of yuppies with more money than sense are potential marks now a days.

as a youngster in Coral Gables high school I used to have a friend that owned 4 units in grove ilse...to make a long story short..they used to hate us. We terrorized the place by throwing water balloons, going crazy during school days in the pool with all our peeps, taking keys from the valet when they werent looking and going for a ride in the cars ( they never caught on to this one)...this was when i was like 15...yeah baby..the good ole days

The rest of you pussys aren't even trying. Top seed, yeah.

The AK 47 thing killed me Like, they brought in salesman for the M16 the Belgian Rifle, the Brits, and tested everything out.

Juan, here, liked the penetrating power and rate of fire the AK 47 offered. Also, the 47 fired under all conditions. "Like, I donn wan 2 kleen it mang, I jutz wan 2 choot it."

Quote from ByLoSellHi:

Bizarre characters, from all over the world.

Everyone speaks a different language, from Russian, to Romanian, to Macedonian....

It's not just the languages. You can sit in a hotel bar and strike up the oddest conversations with some of the strangest and most colorful people who look and sound like they just stepped out of a Stanley Kubrick screenplay.

Pretty much sounds like any other large Metro area.

Quote from Copernicus:

in what way is it getting stranger?

the demographics hasnt changed.. you still have smart NYC Jews coming down and doing business out of here, plenty of success and bankruptcy stories just like in the past.

The new trend is for corporations to move to Boca.
Office depot just broke ground on new world headquarters..
IBM, Tyco, Siemens and many internet start ups are here.

Throw in FAU and its partnership with the Scripps Institute and biotech is developing as well.

I'm another NYC transplant living in Boca with a young family and I don't get the bashing either. We've been here 5 years and can't believe how much we love it. Other than the fact that I will probably be sending my kids to private school (offset by no income taxes) I think this is one of the most kid and family friendly towns i've ever seen. Think Boca is an old persons town? Keep telling yourself that. We have met more couples our own age from all over the country who have also relocated here for one reason or another. I live in a big ass house that would cost at LEAST double in any of the outlying suburbs of NYC. Beautiful parks are literally everywhere, crazy organised sports leagues for kids and adults, amazing beaches, a ridiculous mall and move theater (Muvico, check it out online if you've never heard of it), restaurants up the yin yang and a good sized college population (FAU and Lynn University). Great sports complexes, SoBe only 45 mins away, and if i want to go back home and see the Yanks, its $79 each way and a 2.5 hours flight on Jetblue. I can be in NYC in less time than it used to take me to drive to the Hamptons on a summer fri. I could go on and on. Strange? Strange that there not more people moving here maybe?
