    I was born and raised here in St.Petersburg, Fl for 65 years. I dont care how you dress it up, build beautiful buildings and talk it up, it is still a high crime and homeless area.
    Based on FBI crime data, St. Petersburg is not one of the safest communities in America. Relative to Florida, St. Petersburg has a crime rate that is higher than 83% of the state's cities and towns of all sizes.

    You missed the park system. You brushed over it, but it’s one of the big things to note, if not the biggest. Our waterfront park system is the 3rd largest in North America. As a whole, St Pete has over 150 parks. That’s what kept us thriving through the pandemic

      Totally agree! I’m going to include it in my downtown deep dive.

    I grew up in San Diego CA but lived in St.Pete for 20 plus years and San Diego weather is much better including summer

      I don’t think anyone would argue that San Diego weather is better. Great weather, beautiful mountains, and ocean views. But, I’ll keep my hurricanes and humidity in exchange of they terrible taxes, fires, crime, etc.

    Years ago I visited Naples, Florida and commented it seemed there were very few young people. A realtor explained that when people retire they go to Naples adding that when their parents retire they go to St. Petersburg. He seemed to have been on to something. I retired in Naples while my father retired in St. Pete. Both are great places to live.

    Another plus is its proximity to everything 20-30 from the beach and if you want to go to a concert or sport game 20-30min to Tempa want to go to Great theme parks 2 hrs drive away from orlando, wanna have a blast with night life 4hr away from Miami, not that St Pete and Tempa don’t already have their own good night life.

      Please explode I miss the earth and air I remember in st Pete when I lived there 25 years. It is so full of transplants now I can’t bear it. There used to be yards and the nature of Florida was apparent everywhere and now they are putting multi family homes in with only a few feet of grass around them. The impeding development on mangroves are not going to protect the land for long either.

    1492 sq ft avg home in a very nice suburban are of St. Pete 1998 $98.00. With a few updates through the years $450.00 2022. High property taxes, high home and auto insurance. Terrible traffic and driver attitudes. Don't compare St. Pete to New York, L.A. Chicago or other areas that are more than triple the size. Try other cities of similar size where the weather is pretty good all year round. Weather pretty good at times other than Summer. Restaurants pretty good overall. Lots of good stuff but not the best. As you stated. Very difficult to find a place to live that's affordable. Most people that move in that can afford the area are those that retired from the Northeast that made a ton of money from a house that they lived in for many years or those with very deep pockets. The average family would have a very difficult time finding a place to live.

    You need to go to Hyde Park or the SoHo districts in Tampa. Tons of great restaurants there. I think Tampa is a great area for really good restaurants.

    I don’t understood you said cost of living is 98 percent of national average but you then said that rent is high ?

    • @trulivingtampa
      @trulivingtampa  2 года назад

      Hey there. Yes, on a National scale we’re still very affordable, especially vs. other costal areas. But appartment rentals have really started to climb over the last few months. It’s something to watch for sure.
      Thanks for your questions.
