    Why didn't you address the crime here on your list of cons?

    • @JacksonvilleFloridaLiving
      @JacksonvilleFloridaLiving  Год назад +7

      That's a great question and one I have answered on a previous comment here on this thread:
      This is from an article by the REALTOR association: "Neighborhood Crime Rates: Specifically, if you ask a real estate agent about neighborhood crime rates or even whether or not a particular neighborhood is a “good place to live,” they won’t be able to give you an answer. This is because information about crime rates or the opinions on the safety of a neighborhood can be interpreted as references to race or ethnicity, both of which are protected under the Fair Housing Act. Instead of providing you with direct information on a community’s crime rates, a real estate agent should refer you to the proper resources to find out these statistics for yourself."
      In a nutshell, by federal law I cannot give an opinion on crime rates in any given market as a real estate market professional as it would violate the Fair Housing Act. But I can offer you a resource on looking at some crime stats:
      www.niche.com/places-to-live/jacksonville-duval-fl/crime-safety/
      But it's also important to keep in mind that looking at aggregate crime rates in a particular city doesn't always paint the right picture for home buyers. Because crime is often regionalized and highly depends on which areas of a city you are looking at. For example, if someone is looking at buying in Atlantic Beach, they should really be concerned with crime rates in that area in particular rather than Jacksonville as a whole. So let's say that buyer is an out of town buyer looking to purchase in Atlantic Beach and they just look at the crime stats of Duval county and end up deciding not to buy as a result. If the crime occurring was disproportionately from other more distant areas in Duval County then that buyer may be making a decision based off stats that do not directly affect them and their purchase. All major cities have crime and that is most certainly an important consideration with buying a home but what's even MORE important is the crime stats of the actual neighborhoods/areas you as a homebuyer plan to live in and shop and participate in as a consumer. We all know that every city has what we would call "good" and "bad" parts of town. I often get this question alot and at the end of the day I cannot provide a subjective opinion on it in particular due to law but the question I really would like people to ask is: "What are the crime stats of x or y neighborhood or surrounding neighborhoods?" This question would much more wholly paint a better picture for people. The crime rate for the North side is not the same as the crime rate for Springfield. The crime rate for the Westside is not the same as the crime rate for Ponte Vedra Beach etc.

    Pros: cheap COL for a major city. Close access to other major cities in the South. Awesome BBQ, Seafood & Southern Food. Cons: Lack of seasons, no mountains, Rednecky/Hood vibes outside of Riverside/Beaches until you get to the Burbs. AND THE BUGS!!!!

    Moved away from Jacksonville/Orange Park 14 years ago after living there my entire life and never really looked back. I live in a suburb of Philly now. It also has it's pros and cons:
    Pros:
    Always a sporting event going on.
    Top musical acts almost always stop here or Atlantic City.
    Historical sites like Independence Hall
    4 distinct seasons (but it gets just as hot and humid here as in Jax)
    Snow, but most years not too much (we got like 8 inches the whole winter last year IIRC)
    Excellent mass transit system including subways/elevated lines, light rail, busses, trolleys, trackless trollies, etc.
    Better paying jobs
    Fresh Jersey tomatoes and corn
    2 hours north to mountains for skiing/snow activities and/or New York
    1.5 hours east to beaches/Atlantic City.
    Good, high paying jobs in roles that just don't exist in Jacksonville (at least when I lived there)
    Wawa came from here. :)
    Super busy Hub International Airport (it's ugly, but whatever).
    Authentic cheesesteaks
    Cons:
    Taxes. City wage tax if you live or work in Philadelphia. State taxes too (3%)
    High property taxes in the suburbs
    Crime is stupid high in the city now because of (next item)
    Progressive city leadership pretty much driving the city into the ground
    Liquor stores have limited selection and controlled by state
    No Sonny's, Bonos, or Woodys
    No fresh mayport shrimp
    New Jersey drivers (if you know, you know)
    Traffic sucks but I guess it's about the same down there now.
