Thank you for doing these videos!
I just moved from Orlando and you were a great source while researching the area. I love your honesty (not just in this video but in all of them) and your love of the area and knowledge shines through.
Now as I’m exploring, I’m finding that I share your opinions about St Augustine (love!), Flagler, etc. You’re spot on with so many things! Thanks for sharing!
Aww thanks Julie! Any other info you are looking for?
Are you looking to buy in our aream
Highly inaccurate statements shared in this video. Please see my follow up comment.
@@10schimmelg where's your comment? What's inaccurate.
Thanks so much for a candid discussion about some negatives in the area. Don't hear that too often from realtors. That being said, all in all, not enough negative stuff to discourage me from investing. Just good to hear the good and the bad in order to make an informed decision.
In my greedy realtor opinion (haha) the pros far outweigh the cons! No place is perfect. Thank you for recognizing that!
Saint augustine is an awesome place to live I can't wait to move back there again. I use to live in the outskirts of town and I feel that is the best way to do it.
@@chopperguy4711 I agree. It's similar to every major city. You don't go downtown all the time. Though when you do you want it to be convenient
I lived in St Augustine Beach in the early 90s. I was born in Jacksonville, but moved up to Maryland for 8 years. I came back to Florida in 92. We lived on Willow drive which had to be one of the most beautiful neighborhood's on the beach. It was a double property. My father bought the house for the backyard because of its beauty. It was a three-bedroom ranchers built in 1961. It was solid concrete. My father bought that house in 1991 for $150,000 for the double property. We extended the living room into the back porch. I had a blast living in St Johns county in the 90s! I had a pretty good job and made very good money, and I actually got to live in Davis shores. It was quite a formidable then. Not anymore. I never thought I could ever live anywhere but on the island. But I did live on the mainland. I finally had to move to Jacksonville because it was just too expensive. I didn't want to live so far west of the city that I was in the middle of nowhere. St Augustine of the nineties is gone. It's officially slowly turning into Daytona Beach. Sad 😭
I moved here in 98 when I was a kid. Its changed so much. Though I always ask myself, what hasnt?
Those are some cool memories for sure and I am glad you shared
When's the last time you were here?
@@travism9339 are you asking me or dorothy?
Great info. Thank you !!

@@lovenature2251 lol sure. Once you move to fl
@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE 👍😅got it. Thanks
Nice.Thank you so much. I haven't lived here since 2006 and have no plans on coming back although I do miss my people..
What made you move away?
Thanks for the information. I am moving to St Augustine in June. Look forward to the continued madness. I'm coming from NY as well. I'll take stock in sunscreen please.
Hey Debbie. Reach out and I would love to help!
Local here, Tourism should be a blessing for any town. Managing the tourism should be done by the local government to ensure proper building placement to disperse the tourism growth. These numbers of tourists needs to increase to ensure our local government has the correct funds in place to build onto the current city structure.
"People not walking fast enough." is a statement that really does not hold a lot of value to the conversation. Very weak argument. Grandma and Grandpa walk slow could be one the multitudes of causes for this. In regards to Harrys, an hour wait is common, and should be expected. Although there are many days in the year where there is zero wait. Speed limit should remain a constant 45 mph outside of the city and 25 mph inside.
On average, people bike a lot here as it is a faster commute. Scooters should be a recommended form of transport. Nothing wrong with this. If you are looking to drive in a car all the time then you may want to live in a suburb area.
You are complaining about UV rays? Okay so this issue is not only for this part of the state but anywhere in the country. Very odd to try and make an argument for one particular part of the state. They make some really lovely sunscreen these days for this issue.
Supply and demand are affecting rentals here in this city. There are six new houses being built in an older neighborhood that has been here for decades, there are multiple communities being built within and outside of the city of St.Augustine. All of these houses are well built and are being reserved for our teachers, local firemen, and one house has been completely renovated by a business owner to server as a residence for the local restaurant workers. Company owners have a lot of ownership for their people and put their own money on the line to solve these issues. No one asks them to do this but in the end they can do this because the demand is so high. Local community is very strong because of this.
There are not people striking for jobs and cheaper housing! This is such an outrageous clip and you appear to be tailing your media to the Fox news audience but you should be more ashamed for this media than any other portion.
The bridge does not go up every 30 minutes! Another odd statement that even close to being correct. How long does the Bridge of Lions stay up?
The draw bridge operates on a set schedule during the weekdays.
The bridge is open for boat traffic, Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 6 PM, on the hour and half-hour; with no openings at 8 AM, 12 PM, and 5 PM.
On Saturday, Sunday and Federal holidays, the bridge opens 7 AM to 6 PM, on the hour and half-hour, including 8 AM, 12 PM, and 5 PM, if requested.
Solution is to understand this schedule and use the other bridge which on road 312. This is useful knowledge.
Demand has come quickly and builders are actively working through this area to finish these properties. It takes time to take in this many people on average but if you are in early then you are first on board with these communities. Many families here with young kids and plenty of work now that Lockheed has finished getting the necessary contracts, SpaceX is an active employer, and Jacksonville is always looking to fill seats for employment. What St.Augustine has is a beautiful city structure immersed with fishing charters, beach life, and the story of old money transitioning into new young money.
Come here to be the reason for change and meet people who want to build something to improve the town that they live in. Message a local and actually investigate with local people who get some sun in their lives.
Hey I agree with you on many of your points. Some points are CNN to my Fox news. (I don't like either of them)
If you check out the rest of my videos you can see that I'm actually very pro-tourism, pro-development and pro-local. I just have so many videos talking about all the good in our community, I have to point out some of the bad.
If you are a local you know they literally make bumper stickers here in town that say "dont make me cross the bridge".
My point being is that I love this town. Though not everything is sunshine and rainbows.
Thanks for engaging in the comments. Please check out my other vids to get a better idea of who I am.
I'm originally from Green Cove Springs, Florida which is a bit more inland from ST Aug. Anyways, after school my first apartment was near downtown St Augustine in 2005 and my rent was $425 with water/sewer/trash included. But those years were the best years of my life. I miss St Augustine daily, but the pay is super low and life took me to better financial opportunities. I'm in Kansas City, Missouri and honestly, I wish and hope everyone enjoys my old stomping grounds!
I totally understand. I love hearing about people's nostalgia memories
GCS is (was) wonderful too. Love that park! I lived downtown in St. Auggie in '94 in a newly renovated cottage on the back bay. Rent was $350! My then 2 yr old daughter and I would ride a bike all around down there. She is 30 now and I haven't been downtown in 20 yrs now. Those were the best days of my life too. Sad it's all gone😔
@@robinfrady5257 I’m sorry it’s gone for you too. Where did you end up relocating to? And yeah green cove springs has grown too. The whole area is changing apparently and now it’s rockstar priced. Ahhh to live there again would be a dream. We shoulda enjoyed it when we had it!
1 bedrooms are now like $1,000 plus these days
My family lineage here goes back at least to the 1800’s. We’ve seen change like electricity and bathrooms inside the house! “You don’t have to change, survival isn’t mandatory.” And also, not all change is necessary.. 😂
That's pretty amazing that you can trace it back then. It definitely has changed. Some for the better some for worse
still coming ! so ready
Let's gooo. What are you most ready for
@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE Beach walking and fishing. We also like to park on the beach side of the Bridge of Lions and walk into town.
@@jimanderson2200 I love going downtown. Especially when the sun is going down
Sebastian, Murray Middle, and St.Aug. high, 90 -96, best years of my life, I think most of us back then knew it was special too, even though we didnt. R.I.P. I wish I could get ahold of those yearbooks
Isn't it funny? You don't know what you got til it's gone.
I moved from NYC and always missed the city when I moved here. Then I moved away and realized what I was missing!
I’ve lived in St. Augustine my entire life. Grew up on the island (my mom still has the house I was raised in) now live in the Davis Shores. 3 things I disagree with you on. 1. The flooding is a HUGE issue for St. Augustine. 2. WGV and nocatee are not st. Augustine. That’s basically Jacksonville. 3. Harry’s is gross. My wife worked there when we were dating/ in college.
It's definitely a huge issue for people living on the island and Intracoastal. They have several flood mitigation projects for the future. We will see what happens.
I personally feel like the real st augustine is 32080, 32084, and 32086. Though according to the county and USPS they are in St Augustine.
I imagine management has changed because it's one of the best restaurants in town. Yes that's me saying that, but almost every weekend there is a line out the door. Gotta be doing something right.
Might be taking a gig with Northrop Grumman, any recommendations on housing areas ? Coming from Arizona by the way.
There are tons of options close by. Just depends on what you are looking for. My friends mom was the president of that location for a long time.
I'd look into Palencia, Madeira, and Cordova Palms. With all of those you would have a sub 20 min commute to work.
Reach out if you'd like and we can set up a call.

They've ruined it entirely. We have watched it happening and our hearts are literally breaking. Far, far too much extremely rapid development 😐
I don't think it is ruined. Though I'd agree it's changed rapidly. Not such a small town anymore
@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE We constantly hear "it's not as bad as where we moved from". It will be soon enough 😔
driving down from the NE in 2 wks to look for condo to invest. what areas do you recommend?
St Augustine Beach, Flagler Beach,
Though it really depends on what type of rental you are looking for and price point.
My husband and I are recent empty nesters and my husbands job is transferring him to Northern Florida. We can pick where we want to live in Northern Florida. He is a huge golfer and we have a small dog. Relocating by October. I have no clue where to start.
I'd love to help Monica. If you'd like reach out directly and we can have a conversation.

I have been living in the miami area basically my entire life. I’m looking at buying a house up in St Augustine and Jacksonville area. Some people tell me that sometimes Jacksonville start to ice and have snow. Is it the same for St Augustine?
Thanks for the question. Definitely no snow. I think it happend once in 100 years.
We do get icing here and there on the grass over night. Temps can get colder at night under 50. Days are normally around 70.
I have a video on the weather on my channel!
Christ! A little snow or ice, once in an equinox, will not hurt you.
Not as much as it did 35 years ago when I moved here from Miami. Bring Yucca!!!
@@theresedavis2526 us Floridians don't know how to act when it rains, for get about snow and ice lol
@@venessamaxwell8105 this weekend though 🥶🥶🥶
I used to love going downtown but for the past few years I've avoided that place like the plague. It's just not worth the headache to me anymore, especially during nights of lights.
Yup - I've only been here for five years - and I LOVE it...but in just five years "everything" has become a hassle; having to wait for a table, traffic has gotten CRAZY, no parking downtown.... I'm glad that I at least had a year or two without all the problems I listed above. I don't go downtown like I used to - but I still believe I live in one of the most beautiful areas in the States.
@@cecileroy557 I am sure you can imagine how we feel. It was such a cool place. You literally couldn't go anywhere without seeing 4 or 5 people you knew, everybody was friendly and familiar. Back in the mid '80s this was the best kept secret and life was affordable and so very laid back. Downtown was a blast for those of us in the service industry! The population has more than quadrupled 😢
@@robinfrady5257 I can only imagine... I'm 72 & have a female friend, from St. Augustine, around the same age. She remembers when St. George Street had actual businesses such as a hardware store -- and you could just park out front...
It's really sad. Places like Key West, Asheville, Tennessee - not to mention Venice in Italy - have all become crowded tourists traps where "reg. people" can't afford to live anymore. Just like here - who wants to be a waiter etc. if you're forced to live a half hour, or more, away?
@@cecileroy557 Right? Why would you price your tourist industry/bartender/server/hotel attendants etc right out of the job market by shooting rent so sky high in literally 18 months? The same thing happened to Cedar Key and seeing those places so beloved go down😭. It is a literal rape🤬
@@cecileroy557 I know. We are feeling it. Out where we live was once wonderfully "outskirts". They are literally clear cutting all along what SHOULD BE Old King Trail. That part of history has been annihilated. This wonderful ecological delight is truly being murdered.
Anastasia Island or towards Jacksonville is a better option as far as buying a home. Still expensive but no where near what St. Augustine costs. Ridiculousness. The Scoot Coups are awesome.
It depends on your situation. Also depends on what better means. 🤔
If better means it's going to cost less than yes. But a lot more goes into someone's decision than just costs. Not saying it doesn't play a big factor
Anastasia island is St. Augustine… I live inside the “city of st. Augustine” tax area, while also living on Anastasia Island. The home prices are at a premium here.
When are you going to talk about all the contracts in Jacksonville that have been falling through lately?
I think I did on one of my previous livestreams. Not really concerned with it as it is on similar levels to 2018/2019
You seem unsatisfied with my content.
Show us some mobile homes.
Show us something that is not new construction. Not everybody likes open concept, vaulted ceilings, and too many windows.
@@s99614 you forgot "please" in your sentence
@@s99614 ahhh looks like your forgot to say "please" again. Must be autocorrect on your phone
Been here since 2000 love st Augustine but yeah traffic is beginning to suck and if one is going to invite those to move here built more multi complex not storage units
Its very frustrating. Why can't we have more condos instead of luxury rentals? We need the storage units too! People have a lot of junk!
agree traffic is getting worse especially in just the past 5 years with more people moving to Fl and the city commissioners wont expand the roads but they will build more houses and the city was designed on a 15th century foundation that is struggling to accommodate 21st century traffic.
@@waverider227 it's definitely worse than it was. Though I would say traffic (outside of night of lights) is pretty normal for a town our size.
Problem is they can't build anymore roads in downtown. It's pretty much maxed out
Recently moved temporarily to Palatka from NC due to health. My wife and I were very excited to spend our 36th wedding anniversary in St. Augustine last weekend with a great meal at Harry's. I am in a wheelchair with my service dog and we could barely fit between the drugged out homeless people laying on the sidewalks. No more artists or street performers, but sure it's OK to have vagrants literally blocking sidewalks in front of shops and restaurants. Not how we remembered this place from our youth and won't be moving there as originally planned. This is bad local government officials who want this beautiful town to become a carbon copy of the liberal cities they fled from ! No thanks, we'll stay in Palatka 🇺🇸
I've said this many times. Palatka feels like St Augustine did 20 years ago. My sister just closed on a house on the river last week. I put my first best friend in a home last year. I think Palatka is 📈📈📈
If you need any help buying out there I'd love to help. We have a Palatka video coming soon!
Wow is it really that bad in Saint Augustine these days? I couldn’t imagine it. Super sad. I love palatka. I’m originally from green cove springs and I’m glad y’all enjoy that area. Sorry ST Augustine isn’t what it once was. Hopefully that changes. Hope y’all have a better time in Palatka.
@@richardfloridaman it honestly depends. These last few months are peak tourism season. So if you are pan handling that is a Hotspot. I just went down there last week and barely noticed any
We've visited several times. Historic obviously, and nice to visit probably once. The town is a bit of a clip joint for tourists though. The only place I have ever seen that has parking meters that don't allow "piggybacking". IOW, if a car parks and pays for say two hours, but leaves after ten minutes, their system is set up to make the next car pay for the time also, starting at the time they parked. This is, in effect, double/triple/or more, charging for the same time, same space. A complete ripoff of visitors. Also amusing are their trollies. The seats specifically. They are hard metal, which is okay, but the shape of the back is, I believe, deliberately designed to be very uncomfortable, so the rider doesn't just sit there and ride around town, but is compelled by those damn seats to get up occasionally and visit the stops the trolley makes, and SPEND MONEY. These seat backs are curved so that the top of the metal back rams into your back. I guess if a person had a bad, natural slump, they might be okay, but for most people, you don't want to sit there very long. Clever, but sleazy trick I think.
Very possible. Though I have ridden them and barely noticed what you pointed out.
It's all about money
My family are going to live there I only watched this to make me know if it’s safe or not
I have an interview with the sheriff under the "Interview Playlist". Tons of value on crime there
Yes it is quiet safe here I have lived hear for over 13 years just follow common sense like dont walk down dark alleys alone after dark use only well lit ones and go with another person or a group still it is quite safer than most ciites
I grew up in st.Augustine on the island right close to RBHunt school
Nice! That whole area is relatively the same. I grew up off pope road near the YMCA
The pluses of St Augustine are squishing the few minuses
There are some cons but really not that many. Pricing might be the biggest ons
You missed flooding That is a real bummer all around.
Gentrification has been massive.
Pay. Pay in my field lags horribly as do most service jobs. FSDB is the worse. set the bar super low there
Medical access is hard. The population growth has stressed the medical community. I think that is everywhere, but here, it takes months to get appointments with doctors, dentists, etc.
We need more activities and enrichment for youth 12-18 it's sorely lacking. We have the Boys and Girls club........Donate, please. they need expansion and more options.
Are you affiliated with the boys and girls club?
@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE
No but I help support kids that have gone there. It’s an awesome organization. The new paint job is fantabulous!
I have lived in West Augustine since I bought my home in 1997! I moved to st Augustine in 1989!
agree with both especially the flooding in the summer . some roads can see up to as much as a foot of water downtown in areas where there are no storm drains.
There’s no justification for the cost of living in Saint Augustine when you could live closer to Disney or Seaworld or Busch Gardens. There’s nothing to do there. Yeah it’s pretty but it’s just too expensive to live there.
I think it is just a different style of living than what you want. I don't know one person that is from FL that would say Orlando is a better place to live 🤔 🤷.
Not sure where you get your information from but St Johns county schools are rated #1 in Florida, google it! they have been #1 for 10 years running! Also, you did not mention the way people drive here....speeding. tailgating, not obeying the rules, weaving in and out of traffic and taking very serious risks while driving. You can be doing 85MPH on I-95 and sure as hell there is always someone wanting to pass and tailgating.
They were #2 last year according to DOE. Though I believe they are number 1 this year. Maybe according to niche.com or greatschools. Not the actual DOE though.
I thought 95 was the speed limit on 95? 🤣
I'm a 4th generation South Florida native and I don't really mind the tourism. The Kooks up in North Florida need to chill out. We live in a place where people from our own state vacation. This Yankee dude shouldn't even be talking about Florida!
I guess cause I was born somewhere else I shouldn't have an opinion. Makes sense.
I'm not complaining. Just pointing out one of the pain points of living here
And don't even think going there in the night of lights , never go on Fri or sat ,
You can go if you want to look at the lights while in your car in grid lock traffic
True the lights are pretty but the overcrowding and traffic problems are horrendous wait until after Christmas
"AFFORDABLE HOUSING"
Is NOT the correct nomenclature Locals want to hear from their political leaders and civic authority.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING is relative to the average.
If you are saying 480,000 dollars is Avg . They could establish AFFORDABLE as 350,000 dollars.
And worse if they build a development they usually have a HOUSING Authority or commission
To govern manage over the new housing.
The new inhabitants will be charged mandatory monthly maintenance fees.
On top of whatever their mortgage will be.
So they will initially claim to want to sell the entry level or smaller units, basically a new mobile home size unit for 180,000 dollars ""Starting Prices."
Then set monthly maintenance fees "STARTING" at around only 800 dollars.
This is a low ball number to secure their zoning from the public
Shortly after construction begins
Those maintenance fees and starting prices will start to go up.
So it appears your Rent / mortgage would be 2200 2500 dollars
By the time units are all completed this number would likely be 3500.
This is NOT considered AFFORDABLE HOUSING to most local working class people.
This is only AFFORDABLE HOUSING to profit Real estate entities and political figures.
Who then proceed to Fleece their own people.
The correct nomenclature would be LOWER INCOME.
I lived in Grand Lake CO and that is what happened there.
There are no more families there
No more kids.
Schools will close !!
Neighborhoods gone !!!
Churches foreclose their flocks dissolved!!!!
It's like a Living Cemetery.
If you work there ,
You can't afford to live there
Then business hire illegal workers and abuse them
Or hire Temporary J12s
Who are mostly young European students who pay to come work basically as slaves.
Of which contribute almost nothing to the local economy and proceed to take any money they earned back to their home country in Europe.
This is not Good !!!!
If you are in the real estate business and contributing to this you are treasonous to your home and your children and families will be left with NO COMMUNITY !
Its definitely a challenge we are facing as prices have changed rapidly here. We need both affordable and low income housing.
Epic poetry!
All truth!
Lived here my whole life. If your Hispanic or black expect to discriminated against...
Thank you for your opinion
They let way to many sub divisions come in before building more roads!
I think we are growing at a good speed. Could it be done better, Yes, but I think no one could have predicted the explosive growth over the past 2 years
I’m from Miami. The same thing happened in Kendall Lakes. Such poor planning.
How true its like the city commissioners see only quick money and no solutions to the overcrowding problem. Lets build more subdivision but not improve the roads to handle the massive traffic.
I live here, most places in Florida have Tourists, and development is happening on the outskirts, not directly in the heart of St. Augustine.
There are way more positives than negatives!
You can get 5 negatives on literally any city in Florida, or actually in America!
This is YOUR Opinion, and you know EVERYONE has one!
Hey Don! Thanks for commenting. I agree with you. It was actually difficult for me to name 5 things. Though part of what I'm doing is showing all the positives and negatives. I have a ton of videos that talk about how great it is!
@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE Should have been here in the 90's before the democrats moved in.
Jobs - pay is terrible and now overly crowded and congested
I agree that we need more jobs. Though overcrowded and congested only comparatively to what it was.
sadly this is true and the housing costs and cost of living has shot up in the past 5 years alone/
The homeless population. Sad for them, but it’s hard to see and manage.
🤷♂️
🤷♂️
thanks man, was thinking about moving here until how much of a shithole it was.!!!
Lol I wouldn't use the word shithole. I have 100 other videos that say the opposite, so I'm just trying to give the good and bad
Me: scroll through all the dislikes and see none are life threatening…
Packs bags 🏝️
😄 I agree. Making this was not as easy as I thought it would be
My dad's a tater farmer west of st Augustine family has been there 300 years and we ride to to Palatka to avoid all the yanks
That's awesome. The country out there is beautiful. We just went to silver Glen springs and it was a great lil drive out that way.
Uh, that ain't St. Augustine at @48.
Haha 😄 must've missed it. My editor isn't from st augustine
It’s awful I moved here a few years ago.
What don't you like? Where did you move from?
Awful???how??? I can name worse places to live .
DO NOT EAT AT THE LOCAL DENNYS!We made that mistake and NEVER again.Its nasty and we saw several cock roaches while there..The little IHOP down the road is awesome but avoid denny's
I am a waffle house guy
@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE me too since that happened...The food wasnt that great and I kinda lost my appetite after seeing a cockroach climb the ketchup bottle anyways lol
@@dameronlyon6740 yea thats a hard pass
agree they are gross.
@@waverider227 when I say we saw roaches I am not lieing or exaggerating we literally saw roaches crawl up the ketchup bottle..The place down the road was amazing tho

St. Augustine is far better than Palm Coast!
I agree 👍 though Palm Coast in 5 years could be a different place
i think i agree. i live and have lived in palm coast for many years (im from massachusetts originally), and i have always noticed how different saint augustine/(904 area code in general) is from palm coast. ive always liked saint augustine area better, but there are also parts about saint augustine that i dont like either, and i get put off sometimes. i have a good job in saint augustine though. i like ponte vedra/bartrum, st johns, nocatee, palm valley, etc better, but i could never afford those places lol. i keep going back and forth myself. im in a dilemma lol. good video
@@kev69323 I just put my sister out in Palatka. That I think is a town to watch
Thanks for the appreciation
You get more for same price in Palm Coast
@@jonahhex9620 you're definitely right, but I've been in Palm Coast for so long, and I feel like it's not very scenic in palm coast. And other reasons why I'm sick of it lol
Homeless sleeping all throug the town. Nothing like it was. Dirty.
Hey Donnie. Do you live here in St Augustine?
@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE i live in jacksonville, i was in st.augustine 2 nights ago. I go to vilano beach quite a bit.
@@donnieray8888 vilano is great. I wonder what changed
@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE anyone can sleep anywhere now.
@@donnieray8888 the down side of good weather
My wife and I are moving to St. Augustine next month from Buffalo to start a Satanic cult. Which areas of the city would you recommend we keep on our short list? Thanks in advance.
Is there a certain price point you want to be in? Certain sq footage?
Try next to the fundamentalist Christian Church. You Abrahamics need to learn to get along.
🤣
@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE We will need at least 1,800 sq ft so that we can perform our ceremonies properly. Number of bedrooms doesn't matter.
Go to hell 1st....
Same issues everywhere...so bl bl bla
Lol 😆 I had to try
The first time I went to San Agustin was beautiful. Then I went back to the second time I found out a lot of traffic homeless and people driving like maniacs. The majority Latinos, I was very disappointed.
Got a problem with Latinos? It is a Spanish town
@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE not really, but they need to respect the laws in this country.
@@suzygate1697 Although St Augustine was founded by the Spanish the actual truth is there are really few Hispanics living here most of the ones you see are tourists from Miami.
You are sooooo wrong on every issue! By
Lol hey Tim. Check the rest of my channel. You will see I'm very PRO St Augustine. I gotta bring up the negatives sometimes though right?
No he is right about a few such as traffic congestion downtown especially during the holidays, Rising Housing costs. and the drawbridge downtown that can take a while to cross whenever its up.
You finally admitted to being a greedy realtor!
We all gotta make a living
Go back home, Scott. You're not welcome here.
@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE It's not an easy job
you earn it and deserve it. My friends in the business tell me how cutthroat
it can be the feast and famines. Not for the weak at heart.
@@venessamaxwell8105 it's definitely not as easy as it looks. I find it funny when people call me greedy because I make videos about our area. Problem is most people have worked with a shitty realtor so they think they are overpaid

#1 My MAGA mother lives there. #2 My MAGA mother lives there. #3 My MAGA mother lives there. #4 My MAGA mother lives there.#5 My MAGA mother lives there.
So you're not moving down?
So you have 5 mothers???
I thought drugs and homelessness would be #1.
Completely forgot about that one
I thought Republicanism would be #1.
From a local. it's as bad here as anywhere, or worse the beach invites partying it always has. the more $$, the more drugs.
We need better school and community foundations here to find jobs and build job skills
Our Technical school is dying, and no one cares
We are not only the NW Corridor
The locals need more volunteers and mentors Big Brother or Sister.
@@theresedavis2526 st johns county typically votes red. Though I would argue that we have a great balance. Things seem to work really well in our local government
Do you live in the area?
@@venessamaxwell8105 are you apart of any of these programs?
Love living in st Augustine 100% respectfully disagree
I agree Chad! I love living here. I am just trying to show both sides
If your 86
Agree just dont like the lack of parking spaces downtown and the HOAs But it is great here!
First world problems 😂
We are all living through them!
You don’t like people!
Why is that?
Was fantastic until the liberals started showing up!
What do you think has changed?
The homeless population. Sad for them, but it’s hard to see and manage.
What do you do
@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE if you are asking what I do, I am an RN in the field of chemical dependency and mental health. If you are asking for the solution, I wish I knew.
