Traffic is very bad lol I agree. There are buses and trains. Also some autonomous vehicles that they are starting to roll out in some sections of downtown.
You can say that because you don't know how the traffic was here in the past. It is not bad, when you compare it to traffic in Atlanta or perhaps L.A. but, for us, Orlando residents for years, we do know how traffic has been getting worse. @bobcortez9471

As someone who's lived in Orlando their entire life, all this new stuff is nice and all but they really need to find a way to address traffic in Central Florida. These past 4 years traffic has really gotten really bad
A FUCKING MEN!!! I CANNOT STAND THE TRAFFIC. THEY START BUILDING OUT ALL THIS SHIT AND THEY HAVE NOWHERE FOR THE CARS TO GO AND IT PISSES ME OFF TO NO EXTENT
It’s Florida so not gonna happen. They’ve had every chance and millions of reasons (tourists) to get this right for decades, and it’s still a car-centric nightmare of a place. I lived my entire life there until college, and now that I’ve experienced more walkable/less-sprawled cities I refuse to move back, even tho most of my family are there.

We bought a 2 unit house 3 blocks from Amway and Church street in 2021. We rent one unit out full time rent now and just started renovating the 1st floor. Super excited for all that’s coming!
Great video, well done. Id like to add… Over the last decade Orlando and surrounding sub markets have been planning for the projected growth, with plenty of folks still moving from the West Coast and North East. Today Central FL has newly extended quality highways, new connector roads, new and improved public transportation including sun rail and bright line. Highways and interstate roads like I-4 with dedicated through lanes. I admit when you look at this it screams traffic but the infrastructure while not perfect is getting there and even more to come soon.
Jerry Demings and Buddy Dyer are worthless. Orlando is a dump. We moved here three years ago not realizing how much of a dump Orlando truly is. Vacationing here and living here is two very different things. I’m not saying there aren’t nice places like Lake Nona, but you have to be wealthy to own a home there. We have never ever seen any City or County workers picking up the trash that is thrown everywhere!!! The City of Orlando is run down, and not many take care of anything. I would’ve never moved here if I knew Orlando was so run down and trashy. Our community we live in is very clean and taken care of, but that is rare. The bad thing is, to move back and buy something, the prices have skyrocketed, but at least it would be clean an picked up.
I'm a 40+ year resident of central Florida and all this just looks to me like more development which equals more traffic and congestion in general so no matter what the propaganda says, it is just more shiny dressed up promises that will fall short and begin to fail almost immediately. Just take a look around central Florida and see all the abandoned shopping malls and vacant strip malls it is everywhere that once had an exciting start with the idea that it would be high end but falls short, way short. Out of this whole sales pitch the only thing interesting is the prospect of the train system because that has the potential to help alleviate the awful traffic situation and the mess on I-4 and driving in Florida roads SUCKS and is only getting worse over time. Try driving through Oviedo during rush hour, I don't know how people do it day after day...
Yup I agree, they are just putting lipstick on a pig. I have lived here my whole life too and I'm 32, College education and have a great job at Universal but I couldn't even dream of buying a house here. Its not only going to make the traffic go up but also make affordable housing sore even higher. I can't compete with LLC's and gigantic megamillion corps for a 1 bedroom house.
Born and raised in Orlando. Much of its natural beauty is gone and losing more of it every year. The saying also goes "it takes an hour to get from Orlando to Orlando". Traffic, tolls and crime are why I moved. The average pay rate for most jobs is also not up against the cost of living.
As an Orlando native, it is really exciting to see the growth that is occurring right in front of our eyes. Orlando has been slept on for so many years. Now it is our time to finally shine. I see a lot of folks complaining about traffic and infrastructure. I agree, the traffic is inconvenient, to say the least. The city planners did not see the full potential of what Orlando could be when they designed the infrastructure. To be fair, all major and up-and-coming cities have traffic issues. It is just a cost of being a metropolis.
Couldn’t agree more. Traffic is definitely an issue but if you plan accordingly it doesn’t have to be. I love it here (Lake Nona) and am so glad I made the move 10 years ago.
@@imsethtwo Re-read the comment. Im an Orlando native. I've Been here for 35 years. Most non-floridians associate Orlando with disney and other theme parks. They do not realize how much culture we have outside of the tourist district.
@@kathleenhazy6126I live in lake Nona as well. Although I'm a bit younger I'm 23 and graduated from the high school here. Lake Nona was very empty in 2014-15. Narcoossee road was barren on this side. I came from the St cloud area. Now lake Nona is completely fleshed out and continues to improve. I love it here as well, despite horrific traffic.
Great more traffic problems. Build build with no end in sight. And no infrastructure to support it. It’s a nightmare here in the Saint Cloud Lake Nona region. Schools and roads to support all this growth are at best an afterthought.
Orlando:My favorite city in FL!!! Always growing, Always progressing. I just wish Orlando would invest heavily in Public Transit throughout the city. Yeah, the Bright Line is cool for interstate travel…but could you imagine a light rail system that could connect UCF with Winter Park with Thornton Park, Mall of Millenia area, with Windermere & Mills 50 to OBT to Downtown to Disney/Universal to I-Drive & to the airport? Without a car?!?! This would put Orlando on a different level. But unfortunately…the city will continue to be a slave to I-4 & toll roads smh…
So far according to MetroPlan Orlando a lot of the roads such as Orange, Colonial, Semoran, Kirkman, and a few others I can't remember off the top of my head are looking to get BRT projects. There is also a plan to put a streetcar in International Drive as well. Aside from the Sunshine Corridor there's the Apopka and Polk extension. If Orlando and Orange County can focus on getting those done soon and not get hampered by the NIMBYs then Orlando will be a much better city.
My home town, native. DT has not been the same since Rosie O Grady’s and the exchange. Worse thing they did was remove all that. The things that have changed are crime is up, traffic is a nightmare and people are rude. Being close to the theme parks is awesome and annual passes are a no brainer. 2008 killed I Drive but such a gold mine. I hope it cleans up. Orlando is missing a transportation system. I moved in 2021 to Palm Beach County and I can honestly say the only thing I miss are theme parks. Other than that I don’t miss it.
I moved here 8 years ago from up north. I saw what was going to become of this beautiful city. So glad to see it happen. Downtown UCF area looked nothing like it does now. Slowly restoring the Lake Dot area.
I am.planning to move from Colorado back to Fla. I lived in Broward County for more than 40 years. I need to rent an apt that is reasonable bit I don't understand senior priced apts from regular priced apts. I'm looking in the Orlando area and surrounding areas. I need help
Moved here three years ago and have been contemplating leaving but I’m excited about the new things coming to Orlando! It is truly a great city with so much to do!
Orlando native left in 76,returned in 87 No longer the City Beautiful! Traffic,crime,nothìng historical left. Reside on the west coast of upper central Fl. only return to visit family.
The closed communities are beautiful but CLOSED. Orlando needs streets that connect, we need corner stores, commercial space under residential. I am SO tired of having to drive to my nearest Publix for anything.
We hate it when we visit there as well. I'm from Tampa so I'm there 7 or 8 times a year and waiting in those long lines or going to Walgreens for bread just ain't it.
@@Christianclay Nah; there is no place in Florida that is truly urban, not even Miami. Florida simply needs real public transportation. They're trying to sell Brightline with a "golden ticket", yet it's almost useless. Florida needs to ban single-family homes and build dense walkable cities that are well-connected with heavy rail systems.
Born & raised here (I live downtown). And while we have every theme park known to man. It’s still a very BORING city especially if you’re in ur 20’s. Nightlife sucks, no day parties, everything closes early. I would say Orlando is perfect for ppl who want to settle down with a family, retire, or just visit. I’m ready to leave now there’s nothing here for me. But if I ever decide to settle down & have a family, Orlando is definitely #1 on my list
DT died when Wall St refused to reopen w every other bar mid "pandemic." The demo changed, and Wall St alley parties were passed by. Everyone i know who chilled there on a Friday/Saturday has migrated to Ivanhoe or Milk District bars. DT during 2018/19 was an incredible time. Now you just have Celine, Elixir, and Aero which are decent, Vanguard is pretty bland but at least its there. We need some new clubs and an infusion of life downtown for sure.
Hopefully brightline will connect to the downtown Orlando and hopefully they can get plans for more public rail transit going in form of light rail preferably.
I feel like brightline could make moves to connect to the Millenia area or International Dr as well since they are tourist hotspots. Might relieve some traffic
having been able to live in Florida for just one year, I can still confidently say that out of the south-eastern states, Florida would benefit probably the most from scheduled, state-wide, reliable passenger "subway" System. The tourism aspect alone; the amount of families that live within just a state away that don't have proper transportation could EASILY have an overnight trip to Orlando. Or if someone that doesn't have their own vehicle in the middle of the state just wants to get to the beach quickly versus having to try and find a ride (not to mention traffic)
Here is Florida we prefer private transportation (car). The city is to spread out for public transportation. If my job is across town, you can't expect me to wait on a bus in 100 degree weather, to get me back to my HOA lol. It's easier just to drive.
As a new resident (sorry locals who hate me) its refreshing to see a positive outlook to growth. Now, International drive North of Sand Lake Rd needs some serious help. Its like crossing over into an entire new town compared to the south. Where is stadium club going? Plus, I think Universal City Walk has a massive problem coming, it already has crowding problems from Islands and Studios, i can't imagine how much more packed its going to be when Epic opens.
Do you have any insight into when the CR557 widening in Polk County will be finished? I can see it's been started but can't find anything online that says 2 years to complete, 5 years to complete, etc
A lot of good here, I'm surprised you didn't cover Society Orlando. I think people also underestimate how impactful ucf is on Orlandos economy. Ucf should get its own lynx station like the one downtown
A native of 52 years, my dad here in the 50s, growth sucks here. I grew up in Kissimmee (John young, once called Bermuda road) and WALKED to school as I grew. Would I let my kids walk that area now? HELL no, driving through watching all the homeless, etc.. it’s scary compared to the days when we left our windows opened. 192 was a two lane road and I can’t even fathom it even relieving traffic at 20 lanes. They build and not get to the heart and that’s roads. Tourism is good but THIS growth in the last 10years is just WAY too much. It needs to slow down.
Good insight. I can respect that. Growth scares a lot of people. Imagine what people in the 1800s would of thought about Florida back 52 years ago. They would feel the same as you do now. But totally understandable.
I was on 192 and John young once and saw a car flip into the air and crash into the ground. You know who were the 1st the help? Sadly it wasn't me, other drivers, or pedestrians...it was all the homeless hanging out there. they went into action with no thought. I've never witnessed such chivalry from a group of people before.
@christianclay great video. Would love to see a video about the development of the Lake Nona Medical City. We took my daughter to Nemours for heart surgery and it was just astonishing to see the progress there in a relatively short period of time. These places were cow pastures like a decade ago and know they are top notch medical centers.
This is amazing but I really wish Orlando would focus more on affordable housing. While there are a lot of developments going up the amount of apartments going up because people can't afford to get a house is absolutely crazy. But I am most excited for epic universe
More supply to catch up to demand. More homes = more competition = price adjustment 📉…. Also more apartments = less buyers = price adjustment 📉… more of everything would help. But then ppl will complain about traffic. My head hurts 😖
I live in polk county, they're all moving here too. Our town is outside of lakeland and was relatively small. Now we have so many people the infrastructure can't handle it. Lines everywhere, Traffic is terrible and rent is through the roof.
I’m glad about the brightline and trains should definitely be more common in the U.S but there really does need to be a traffic plan and should always be a traffic plan for all development in the larger cities
I drive around in the area outside of Orlando and I see them building up enormous, multi-story housing complexes in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. People who live there won't be able to go anywhere without hopping into their car (or more likely giant truck) and traveling at least 5-10 miles. It's been a common theme in the expansion of Florida cities that there is no planning, no unified direction. So we have ugly cities, inefficient sprawl, wasteful commute times, and endless traffic. Don't let them trick you with promises of warm climate, either. The summers are so hot that they're functionally the same as winters up north; you can't be outside for long periods of time, no one is out and about, and everyone shuts themselves up inside their homes and blasts the AC. Developers are making bank off of their misleading promises of a subtropical paradise. But Florida is really a poetic representation of everything that's wrong with American society, and Orlando is the very worst city here.
I’m with Lifeline. We need that especially Florida. I can see it grossing from coast to coast . North to south. Less people on roads more people safe. It doesn’t mean that people are going to buy less car, but we can inhabit more People.
Sounds great , new developments for jobs and entertainment. The living and housing cost sounds pretty terrible. I was pretty set on moving to Orlando in 2020 but the rise in home insurance seems like a huge issue. Isn’t car insurance crazy high too now?
I hope Orlando doesn’t kill the accessibility and small town feel of the slightly bigger city. That’s why we love to go to Orlando. It’s not ostentatious and untouchable.
When Disney opened in 72 my dad went to work for the Polynesian hotel. Disney was like going to the mall. I got into the park for free. We moved from N J. I was 16. Orlando, then is what I would call a backwater podunk town. It was a hard pill to swallow if you didn't fit in. I remember parking the car at the open airport and walking to your plane. Altamont Mall was a cow pasture, and I Drive didn't exist. They ran a contest on the radio to come up with a slogan to move the town I mean city forward. "Oh Orlando!" Was the winning one. God knows if they still use it? I couldn't wait to leave. Now I only go b😢ack Occasionally for business. All these new changes coming, we'll see. I'm not impressed yet. I still remember it as a small time with a small town mentality. At least they don't draw the drapes across the department store windows like one store did back then. Even though no retail was open on Sundays, they felt even looking in their windows was advertising. 😅😅😅😅 and NeoCity. Are they having investors from Saudi Arabia?
@@Christianclayit was nice and very calm. I’m not knocking growth but with growth they need to think of the output and start working on that. Too much too fast makes it all fall into the hole of an aquifer we are on. We can’t have subways because of this, so they need to realize we are not New York, New Jersey, nor California. We need to think ahead and quit pushing forward too fast.
I live straight across in Pinellas county by the water a few minutes from Tampa. I see the comments and agree with some and not with others. I go to Orlando a lot in last 25 yrs i moved here from NY. I believe this stuff will happen. Orlando has changed a lot since i moved here and we were going to move to Orlando at first but i hated it-now it’s alot better and a lot has been built in 25yrs. Even in Tampa the last 6 years the city has changed a lot. Tampa was dead quiet at night and now there is a busy night life and ppl everywhere. They put a lot of living space there and tried to make everything walkable. That’s all in 6 years and they have a ton planned still I used to think a speed train was stupid but that was before Uber. I wish Scott wouldn’t have rejected the federal money for it. We need a speed rail from Tampa to Orlando and up and down the coast -we need a rail to go across alligator alley and up that coast. Nowadays you could just hop on it go where you want fast and get an u er or rental car. I would do hat 2x a month if that was built. As we all know the traffic has gotten insane over last 4years and DeSantis does have tons of highway projects all set -there is one huge one that just opens by me and a huge one just started by my house. I wish we could have this guy another q0 years because what ppl don’t know is he is bringing in huge business but yet just being picky so we don’t end up with blue haired crazy ppl. The blue haired ppl that i know here are not crazy. But the guy is brilliant on the laws he’s making to that stops the crazies from wanting to come here and he’s attracking serious business even some from Japan and other countries. You can feel the tech world slowly building her but he’s not letting the fruit cakes in. I have a ton of family in tech and they say it’s growing here and they are all red not blue so ppl have to understand not all tech ppl are blue crazies and some are blue and level headed like it used to be. The bullet trains are key tho. Those need to get started for this state to work properly and then you can live somewhere quiet or cheaper and hop on a bullet train and work somewhere else. Or take of for another city or town for the weekend and not deal with traffic. It’s exciting to see Tampa changing and being a night time livable city and to see Orlando updating the look and kid and adult entertainment-they do have very unique stuff there that i like to do and it looks like they are taking that to a new level. We just have to hope the next governor doesn’t destroy it as it’s being created by letting in too much dirty evil money-it will ruin us and we will be the NY of the South and I’m a born and raised NYer who’s proud but it got destroyed from when i was a kid and crime was bad then but crime isn’t the worst problem there-there’s to many to list. They have a way of taking your NY pride and making you defend the crazy stuff they do. My own family is now brainwashed and most are Red but yet let blue brainwash them. They can’t see it. They had such a hard time getting guns legally that now they don’t want anyone having guns-it’s crazy how they let the brainwashing take away their rights and money. Ppl just can’t take stress and surrender their soul and then defend their state. It’s not about the state-it’s about the politicians, anyway Florida is growing very fast and ppl who think it’s fake it’s not -DeSantis has all this setup for years after he’s gone and has the laws to try and protect us. But the traffic needs fixing. The train needs built fast and that will free up alot of roads.
Can the innovative Neocity figure out how to control and cool down the weather? Because it’s hot over here and something needs to be invented for that!
Actually it’s not your city dude. You may live here, but it’s not your city!! Orlando is overall becoming CITY DUMP, not CITY BEAUTIFUL as they proclaim. There is trash everywhere, people don’t take care of their homes. The city doesn’t clean up anything. Orlando is not as nice as people think!! Drive around trash is everywhere, except for Disney. Too many people move here from other countries that have no idea how to be clean or take care of anything. I see it everyday.
The gated community we live in is nice and clean, but you drive outside just a block or two and there are dumps, 6 cars parked in the front yards, crap thrown all over their back yards. No one here knows what a power washer is because there is dirt running down their siding, fences, etc. The Mayor’s here have no clue. No city workers to make Orlando the “CITY BEAUTIFUL THEY PROCLAIM.”
@@user-ny7cs2dx1g yikes, I was looking at moving to Orlando, but I don’t think I’m nearly as interested now, especially until prices drop or my income becomes higher.
I grew up and still live in the burbs west of Orlando and have seen so much change over 20+ years. Some parts of Orlando are no longer recognizable, that's how much they've changed. The main issue here is the horrendous traffic problems pretty much anywhere you go. Adding new business and residential communities don't help any at all: you first need to deal with the infrastructure here that cannot handle those kinds of loads, such as roads, public transportation, education, and utilities. While I think growth is a good thing, I think Orlando's growing way too fast and is slowly losing the ability to keep up. At some point the mayor's gotta say "no more room, inn is full".
Florida needs high class public transportation immediately. United States has one of the worst public transportation in the world. Our cities are full of concrete. We have more space for cars than people. Americans they've been forced to have cars. Is money money money👎

It needs more densely built areas to support public transit. I think the zoning and parking minimums are the big issue.

Mayer Jerry Demings approved all new houses to build. The traffic is worse and worse and still building. I am selling the home and out from Orlando.
✌️ adios
Certainly not everybody’s cup of tea. Check out your home’s value with that link in in my description.
Goodbye
Jerry Demings and Buddy Dyer are worthless. Orlando is a dump. We moved here three years ago not realizing how much of a dump Orlando truly is. Vacationing here and living here is two very different things. I’m not saying there aren’t nice places like Lake Nona, but you have to be wealthy to own a home there. We have never ever seen any City or County workers picking up the trash that is thrown everywhere!!! The City of Orlando is run down, and not many take care of anything. I would’ve never moved here if I knew Orlando was so run down and trashy. Our community we live in is very clean and taken care of, but that is rare. The bad thing is, to move back and buy something, the prices have skyrocketed, but at least it would be clean an picked up.
@@user-ny7cs2dx1g I don't know what part of the city you live in, but in comparable size cities, Orlando is great.
Very positive . I grew up in lake mary in the 90s
LA now since 2011
Lake Mary in the 90s 🙌🏽 still an awesome place.
Amazed at your work! From the video to your voice over. Everything. Talent!
I appreciate that! Thanks for stopping in.
I'm a 40+ year resident of central Florida and all this just looks to me like more development which equals more traffic and congestion in general so no matter what the propaganda says, it is just more shiny dressed up promises that will fall short and begin to fail almost immediately. Just take a look around central Florida and see all the abandoned shopping malls and vacant strip malls it is everywhere that once had an exciting start with the idea that it would be high end but falls short, way short. Out of this whole sales pitch the only thing interesting is the prospect of the train system because that has the potential to help alleviate the awful traffic situation and the mess on I-4 and driving in Florida roads SUCKS and is only getting worse over time. Try driving through Oviedo during rush hour, I don't know how people do it day after day...
Yup I agree, they are just putting lipstick on a pig. I have lived here my whole life too and I'm 32, College education and have a great job at Universal but I couldn't even dream of buying a house here. Its not only going to make the traffic go up but also make affordable housing sore even higher. I can't compete with LLC's and gigantic megamillion corps for a 1 bedroom house.
I remember when they talked about this downtown project.....21 years ago. Things move quick in Florida.
🥇
I-4 eyesore 😅
@@Darkvega2k7 didnt they finally finish it recently? lol
@untrainedprofessional nneeeerp! Not even a little. Attempts have been made, but ultimately nothing since I moved here in '07.
Not necessarily!
Born and raised in Orlando. Much of its natural beauty is gone and losing more of it every year. The saying also goes "it takes an hour to get from Orlando to Orlando". Traffic, tolls and crime are why I moved. The average pay rate for most jobs is also not up against the cost of living.
What part of Orlando are you from?
Very nice and informative video with scenery shots… Thanks for sharing this.. Tony J from Indiana…🙌🏼👍😃📸
Thanks for stopping in Tony J !
Great video, amazing quality and very informative
I appreciate the feedback!
As an Orlando native, it is really exciting to see the growth that is occurring right in front of our eyes. Orlando has been slept on for so many years. Now it is our time to finally shine. I see a lot of folks complaining about traffic and infrastructure. I agree, the traffic is inconvenient, to say the least. The city planners did not see the full potential of what Orlando could be when they designed the infrastructure. To be fair, all major and up-and-coming cities have traffic issues. It is just a cost of being a metropolis.
💡
Couldn’t agree more. Traffic is definitely an issue but if you plan accordingly it doesn’t have to be. I love it here (Lake Nona) and am so glad I made the move 10 years ago.
orlando has never been slept on… are you new here?
@@imsethtwo Re-read the comment. Im an Orlando native. I've Been here for 35 years. Most non-floridians associate Orlando with disney and other theme parks. They do not realize how much culture we have outside of the tourist district.
@@kathleenhazy6126I live in lake Nona as well. Although I'm a bit younger I'm 23 and graduated from the high school here. Lake Nona was very empty in 2014-15. Narcoossee road was barren on this side. I came from the St cloud area. Now lake Nona is completely fleshed out and continues to improve. I love it here as well, despite horrific traffic.
Great video quality, keep up the awesome work!
Will do Sebastian 🫡 thanks!
Great more traffic problems. Build build with no end in sight. And no infrastructure to support it. It’s a nightmare here in the Saint Cloud Lake Nona region. Schools and roads to support all this growth are at best an afterthought.
St Cloud/Nona area has definitely gotten it bad. Just not enough major roads to support the growth.
At the very least, make some brt Transit oriented development.
@@Christianclay wym the drone shots looked like orlando is already nothing but big roads
Yup st cloud resident here .. that partin settlement is a real bitch in the morning
Orlando:My favorite city in FL!!! Always growing, Always progressing. I just wish Orlando would invest heavily in Public Transit throughout the city. Yeah, the Bright Line is cool for interstate travel…but could you imagine a light rail system that could connect UCF with Winter Park with Thornton Park, Mall of Millenia area, with Windermere & Mills 50 to OBT to Downtown to Disney/Universal to I-Drive & to the airport? Without a car?!?! This would put Orlando on a different level. But unfortunately…the city will continue to be a slave to I-4 & toll roads smh…
I’ve been preaching the exact same thing to everyone I know for years and they all agree!
Spot on 🎯 I appreciate you sharing.
So far according to MetroPlan Orlando a lot of the roads such as Orange, Colonial, Semoran, Kirkman, and a few others I can't remember off the top of my head are looking to get BRT projects. There is also a plan to put a streetcar in International Drive as well. Aside from the Sunshine Corridor there's the Apopka and Polk extension. If Orlando and Orange County can focus on getting those done soon and not get hampered by the NIMBYs then Orlando will be a much better city.
Absolutely in Love with Orlando. I grew up here❤️
We REALLY have to address the homeless situation first! My fellow Orlandoen’s know what I mean✌🏽
Florida really isn't a homeless friendly state to be fair
Absolutely amazing video! You produce high quality work.
I really appreciate that!
My home town, native. DT has not been the same since Rosie O Grady’s and the exchange. Worse thing they did was remove all that. The things that have changed are crime is up, traffic is a nightmare and people are rude. Being close to the theme parks is awesome and annual passes are a no brainer. 2008 killed I Drive but such a gold mine. I hope it cleans up. Orlando is missing a transportation system. I moved in 2021 to Palm Beach County and I can honestly say the only thing I miss are theme parks. Other than that I don’t miss it.
All very valid points. Plenty of potential but we need to see it. Love me some Palm beach too
Palm Beach baby! Better then anywhere in florida also close to Miami and Orlando
I moved here 8 years ago from up north. I saw what was going to become of this beautiful city. So glad to see it happen. Downtown UCF area looked nothing like it does now. Slowly restoring the Lake Dot area.
Heyyy I love to hear that you are noticing the improvements as well!
Moving in July from the Miami area and I’m so excited, great video!
Nice! Make sure you are subscribed to my real state channel (along with this one). We break down a ton of areas. Link in Bio
There is no room anymore
@@mikeswell9021 too bad 😉
I am.planning to move from Colorado back to Fla. I lived in Broward County for more than 40 years. I need to rent an apt that is reasonable bit I don't understand senior priced apts from regular priced apts. I'm looking in the Orlando area and surrounding areas. I need help
Moved here three years ago and have been contemplating leaving but I’m excited about the new things coming to Orlando! It is truly a great city with so much to do!
Happy to hear you are enjoying your new home!
I’ve been living in orlando for over 35 years and I can’t wait to move out of here! So many better cities out there.
Orlando native left in 76,returned in 87 No longer the City Beautiful!
Traffic,crime,nothìng historical left.
Reside on the west coast of upper central Fl. only return to visit family.
What city are you in now?
Don’t tell him keep it a secret
Another excellent Orlando overview video. Keep them coming. :)
Will do Dye 🫡
The closed communities are beautiful but CLOSED. Orlando needs streets that connect, we need corner stores, commercial space under residential. I am SO tired of having to drive to my nearest Publix for anything.
Yea, you have to have a car in Florida. There are some places that have everything within walking distance but you have to pay for the convenience.
Yup drive drive drive and let's deal with some more traffic!!!!💯
We hate it when we visit there as well. I'm from Tampa so I'm there 7 or 8 times a year and waiting in those long lines or going to Walgreens for bread just ain't it.
@@Christianclay Nah; there is no place in Florida that is truly urban, not even Miami. Florida simply needs real public transportation. They're trying to sell Brightline with a "golden ticket", yet it's almost useless. Florida needs to ban single-family homes and build dense walkable cities that are well-connected with heavy rail systems.
@@thebabbler8867 never happen people like to have their own yard and private pool and drive their own car
Good to see Orland keep developing and growing
💪🏽
Wow. I just realized that the Amway center is now the KIA center. That happened so under the radar.
They renamed back in 2023 if I'm not mistaken, remember seeing it on the news. Nobody really made a huge fuss about it tho
I have to get used to that. But it sounds sweet!
Solid cinematography work brother, would be sick to hear your take on the eye sore on i4!!!
Thanks for the love! I’m sure we will get to that!
Great video ! My wife is originally from Apopka and still has a lot of family in the Orlando area.
You married in! Thanks for watching!
There’s a great, big, beautiful tomorrow!
☀️
Christian, these videos are incredible man!
I appreciate that!
Born & raised here (I live downtown). And while we have every theme park known to man. It’s still a very BORING city especially if you’re in ur 20’s. Nightlife sucks, no day parties, everything closes early. I would say Orlando is perfect for ppl who want to settle down with a family, retire, or just visit. I’m ready to leave now there’s nothing here for me. But if I ever decide to settle down & have a family, Orlando is definitely #1 on my list
I literally left Orlando, I was so tired of it. Now I'm in NYC and I'm having the time of my life. Good luck on your future endeavors.
Tampa might have that spark that you are looking for.
if your in your 20's it can be great but it really depends on the person
@@Christianclay im from tampa for about my whole life (22) and honestly its the same bro and everyone is so toxic in tampa
DT died when Wall St refused to reopen w every other bar mid "pandemic." The demo changed, and Wall St alley parties were passed by. Everyone i know who chilled there on a Friday/Saturday has migrated to Ivanhoe or Milk District bars. DT during 2018/19 was an incredible time. Now you just have Celine, Elixir, and Aero which are decent, Vanguard is pretty bland but at least its there. We need some new clubs and an infusion of life downtown for sure.
Great video. Your drone shots are amazing
I appreciate the feedback Alejandro! Thanks for watching.
Exciting to see the expansion of Osceola county. Moved here in 94 and remember when Osceola parkway ended at OBT.
💪🏽💪🏽
Hopefully brightline will connect to the downtown Orlando and hopefully they can get plans for more public rail transit going in form of light rail preferably.
I feel like brightline could make moves to connect to the Millenia area or International Dr as well since they are tourist hotspots. Might relieve some traffic
having been able to live in Florida for just one year, I can still confidently say that out of the south-eastern states, Florida would benefit probably the most from scheduled, state-wide, reliable passenger "subway" System. The tourism aspect alone; the amount of families that live within just a state away that don't have proper transportation could EASILY have an overnight trip to Orlando. Or if someone that doesn't have their own vehicle in the middle of the state just wants to get to the beach quickly versus having to try and find a ride (not to mention traffic)
I can see your point of view
Here is Florida we prefer private transportation (car). The city is to spread out for public transportation. If my job is across town, you can't expect me to wait on a bus in 100 degree weather, to get me back to my HOA lol. It's easier just to drive.
11/10 presenting and cinematography during presentation
Thanks for the love 💪🏽
As a new resident (sorry locals who hate me) its refreshing to see a positive outlook to growth.
Now, International drive North of Sand Lake Rd needs some serious help. Its like crossing over into an entire new town compared to the south.
Where is stadium club going?
Plus, I think Universal City Walk has a massive problem coming, it already has crowding problems from Islands and Studios, i can't imagine how much more packed its going to be when Epic opens.
Gota love the growth. I believe on idrive
MY GUY YOU DID NOT HAVE TO DO THE ORLANDO MAGIC LIKE THAT IN THE INTRO
😂
Top quality content!!
Thanks brother 💪🏽
@Christianclay Orlando will be Miami
Really well put together video. Thank you!
Thanks for the support
Love the videos keep them coming!
Always a pleasure Ms Shotit
AMAZING VIDEO....love it...keep going!!!!!! moving forward to move to orlando in a couple of years 🤙
One love 💪🏽
There is a rumor that United Airlines could open a hub in Florida too. If Orlando International Airport expands, it is possible.
We might break this down on the channel soon 🔮
@Christianclay Please do. Would be nice to have more competition and access to the Caribbean from Florida.
We need more walkability and affordable housing. Also, we should ban banks from purchasing single family homes.
Very very very true
Do you have any insight into when the CR557 widening in Polk County will be finished? I can see it's been started but can't find anything online that says 2 years to complete, 5 years to complete, etc
Looks like it’s moving along quickly. Not sure the finish timeframe
Lol , while dope but sounds like Orlando is gonna be a really expensive place to live and it’s already expensive
There are surrounding areas that are much more affordable. But that is relative to your situation.
@@ChristianclayTrue! Americans just need to realize that things are going to get more expensive and that’s just what it is
@@SamMcKinley next time they won't vote for idiots like Joe Biden
A lot of good here, I'm surprised you didn't cover Society Orlando. I think people also underestimate how impactful ucf is on Orlandos economy. Ucf should get its own lynx station like the one downtown
A native of 52 years, my dad here in the 50s, growth sucks here. I grew up in Kissimmee (John young, once called Bermuda road) and WALKED to school as I grew. Would I let my kids walk that area now? HELL no, driving through watching all the homeless, etc.. it’s scary compared to the days when we left our windows opened. 192 was a two lane road and I can’t even fathom it even relieving traffic at 20 lanes. They build and not get to the heart and that’s roads. Tourism is good but THIS growth in the last 10years is just WAY too much. It needs to slow down.
Good insight. I can respect that. Growth scares a lot of people. Imagine what people in the 1800s would of thought about Florida back 52 years ago. They would feel the same as you do now. But totally understandable.
I was on 192 and John young once and saw a car flip into the air and crash into the ground. You know who were the 1st the help? Sadly it wasn't me, other drivers, or pedestrians...it was all the homeless hanging out there. they went into action with no thought. I've never witnessed such chivalry from a group of people before.
@christianclay great video. Would love to see a video about the development of the Lake Nona Medical City. We took my daughter to Nemours for heart surgery and it was just astonishing to see the progress there in a relatively short period of time. These places were cow pastures like a decade ago and know they are top notch medical centers.
Lake Nona is a story of its own. Glad to hear the progress that your daughter has made. Keep an eye out for that Nona vid
As always, amazing video.
Much appreciated!
As a transplant from Texas I’m excited to see what Orlando has in store for us.
Welcome to the sunshine state ☀️
This is amazing but I really wish Orlando would focus more on affordable housing. While there are a lot of developments going up the amount of apartments going up because people can't afford to get a house is absolutely crazy. But I am most excited for epic universe
More supply to catch up to demand. More homes = more competition = price adjustment 📉…. Also more apartments = less buyers = price adjustment 📉… more of everything would help. But then ppl will complain about traffic. My head hurts 😖
Orlando is already full✅️
9:30
"Okay for this shot, I need you to walk into a random house that's under construction while holding caulk upside-down."
Wait… are you watching me?
I live in polk county, they're all moving here too. Our town is outside of lakeland and was relatively small. Now we have so many people the infrastructure can't handle it. Lines everywhere, Traffic is terrible and rent is through the roof.
Good thing you have your spot situated before the rush!
This is the best informational video on Orlando end of story.
On Jah !
I’m glad about the brightline and trains should definitely be more common in the U.S but there really does need to be a traffic plan and should always be a traffic plan for all development in the larger cities
Agreed. Are you in the US ?
@@Christianclay yes
I have actually been doing ecological work on Wellness Way for years. Never realized how big it was!
I drive around in the area outside of Orlando and I see them building up enormous, multi-story housing complexes in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. People who live there won't be able to go anywhere without hopping into their car (or more likely giant truck) and traveling at least 5-10 miles. It's been a common theme in the expansion of Florida cities that there is no planning, no unified direction. So we have ugly cities, inefficient sprawl, wasteful commute times, and endless traffic. Don't let them trick you with promises of warm climate, either. The summers are so hot that they're functionally the same as winters up north; you can't be outside for long periods of time, no one is out and about, and everyone shuts themselves up inside their homes and blasts the AC.
Developers are making bank off of their misleading promises of a subtropical paradise. But Florida is really a poetic representation of everything that's wrong with American society, and Orlando is the very worst city here.
I’m with Lifeline. We need that especially Florida. I can see it grossing from coast to coast . North to south. Less people on roads more people safe. It doesn’t mean that people are going to buy less car, but we can inhabit more People.
Sounds great , new developments for jobs and entertainment. The living and housing cost sounds pretty terrible. I was pretty set on moving to Orlando in 2020 but the rise in home insurance seems like a huge issue. Isn’t car insurance crazy high too now?
I think telling people Brightline is like an airport will scare them away! lol
I would not doubt that. But I feel it’s true lol
Awesome video man!
Thanks CJ!
Traffic sucks don’t move here pleaseeee 10 years ago it was so chill now u can’t go anywhere without it taking 30 min
It takes one hour to get from Orlando to Orlando. Just saying.
Most importantly overcrowded, and toll roads are everywhere.
the magic r rly good this year and will be good in the future
They are having a year!
What blows my mind is the toll roads. The reason the roads are needed is because of tourism but locals are penalized for their success.
Bitter Sweet 🎉
Florida is full!
Of ?
I hope Orlando doesn’t kill the accessibility and small town feel of the slightly bigger city. That’s why we love to go to Orlando. It’s not ostentatious and untouchable.
Great video !! Very Informative !!
I appreciate that 💪🏽
When Disney opened in 72 my dad went to work for the Polynesian hotel. Disney was like going to the mall. I got into the park for free. We moved from N J. I was 16. Orlando, then is what I would call a backwater podunk town. It was a hard pill to swallow if you didn't fit in. I remember parking the car at the open airport and walking to your plane. Altamont Mall was a cow pasture, and I Drive didn't exist. They ran a contest on the radio to come up with a slogan to move the town I mean city forward. "Oh Orlando!" Was the winning one. God knows if they still use it? I couldn't wait to leave. Now I only go b😢ack Occasionally for business. All these new changes coming, we'll see. I'm not impressed yet. I still remember it as a small time with a small town mentality. At least they don't draw the drapes across the department store windows like one store did back then. Even though no retail was open on Sundays, they felt even looking in their windows was advertising. 😅😅😅😅 and NeoCity. Are they having investors from Saudi Arabia?
I wish I was able to check this area out in the 70s.
@@Christianclayit was nice and very calm. I’m not knocking growth but with growth they need to think of the output and start working on that. Too much too fast makes it all fall into the hole of an aquifer we are on. We can’t have subways because of this, so they need to realize we are not New York, New Jersey, nor California. We need to think ahead and quit pushing forward too fast.
This guy is a great marketer, he didnt make me want to visit Orlando, he made me want to buy it and put it on my backyard.
“I’ll take one Orlando please”
The last thing Orlando needs are tech head ceos, hell naw
Good work and very true.
Well done video
Thanks man!
I live straight across in Pinellas county by the water a few minutes from Tampa. I see the comments and agree with some and not with others. I go to Orlando a lot in last 25 yrs i moved here from NY. I believe this stuff will happen. Orlando has changed a lot since i moved here and we were going to move to Orlando at first but i hated it-now it’s alot better and a lot has been built in 25yrs. Even in Tampa the last 6 years the city has changed a lot. Tampa was dead quiet at night and now there is a busy night life and ppl everywhere. They put a lot of living space there and tried to make everything walkable. That’s all in 6 years and they have a ton planned still
I used to think a speed train was stupid but that was before Uber. I wish Scott wouldn’t have rejected the federal money for it. We need a speed rail from Tampa to Orlando and up and down the coast -we need a rail to go across alligator alley and up that coast. Nowadays you could just hop on it go where you want fast and get an u er or rental car. I would do hat 2x a month if that was built. As we all know the traffic has gotten insane over last 4years and DeSantis does have tons of highway projects all set -there is one huge one that just opens by me and a huge one just started by my house. I wish we could have this guy another q0 years because what ppl don’t know is he is bringing in huge business but yet just being picky so we don’t end up with blue haired crazy ppl. The blue haired ppl that i know here are not crazy. But the guy is brilliant on the laws he’s making to that stops the crazies from wanting to come here and he’s attracking serious business even some from Japan and other countries. You can feel the tech world slowly building her but he’s not letting the fruit cakes in. I have a ton of family in tech and they say it’s growing here and they are all red not blue so ppl have to understand not all tech ppl are blue crazies and some are blue and level headed like it used to be.
The bullet trains are key tho. Those need to get started for this state to work properly and then you can live somewhere quiet or cheaper and hop on a bullet train and work somewhere else. Or take of for another city or town for the weekend and not deal with traffic. It’s exciting to see Tampa changing and being a night time livable city and to see Orlando updating the look and kid and adult entertainment-they do have very unique stuff there that i like to do and it looks like they are taking that to a new level. We just have to hope the next governor doesn’t destroy it as it’s being created by letting in too much dirty evil money-it will ruin us and we will be the NY of the South and I’m a born and raised NYer who’s proud but it got destroyed from when i was a kid and crime was bad then but crime isn’t the worst problem there-there’s to many to list. They have a way of taking your NY pride and making you defend the crazy stuff they do. My own family is now brainwashed and most are Red but yet let blue brainwash them. They can’t see it. They had such a hard time getting guns legally that now they don’t want anyone having guns-it’s crazy how they let the brainwashing take away their rights and money. Ppl just can’t take stress and surrender their soul and then defend their state. It’s not about the state-it’s about the politicians, anyway Florida is growing very fast and ppl who think it’s fake it’s not -DeSantis has all this setup for years after he’s gone and has the laws to try and protect us. But the traffic needs fixing. The train needs built fast and that will free up alot of roads.
I appreciate that comment!
I'm from west orlando but I never been to Disney
I might have been once. Not even sure.
Can the innovative Neocity figure out how to control and cool down the weather? Because it’s hot over here and something needs to be invented for that!
Are they gonna make more parking in downtown? Cause that ish is ridiculous at the moment.
Near the Kia Center, yes
Fantastic video quality & editing. Bravo! Excited to see more of your work.
Thanks for that!
Hi Christian, what about Ocala FL? I’ve heard a lot about it
Grow grow grow
Wow okay quality fire

I didn't realize they had built a new Orlando office for EA in the Creative Village by the ELC.

Orlando is the city of magic! My dreams are all becoming true here! Stay outta my city if u don't believe! 😊😏
🔮
Actually it’s not your city dude. You may live here, but it’s not your city!! Orlando is overall becoming CITY DUMP, not CITY BEAUTIFUL as they proclaim. There is trash everywhere, people don’t take care of their homes. The city doesn’t clean up anything. Orlando is not as nice as people think!! Drive around trash is everywhere, except for Disney. Too many people move here from other countries that have no idea how to be clean or take care of anything. I see it everyday.
The gated community we live in is nice and clean, but you drive outside just a block or two and there are dumps, 6 cars parked in the front yards, crap thrown all over their back yards. No one here knows what a power washer is because there is dirt running down their siding, fences, etc. The Mayor’s here have no clue. No city workers to make Orlando the “CITY BEAUTIFUL THEY PROCLAIM.”
@@user-ny7cs2dx1g yikes, I was looking at moving to Orlando, but I don’t think I’m nearly as interested now, especially until prices drop or my income becomes higher.
Yes but look at that Skyline that's the most amazing I've ever seen other than Portland Maine in the fall
I grew up and still live in the burbs west of Orlando and have seen so much change over 20+ years. Some parts of Orlando are no longer recognizable, that's how much they've changed. The main issue here is the horrendous traffic problems pretty much anywhere you go. Adding new business and residential communities don't help any at all: you first need to deal with the infrastructure here that cannot handle those kinds of loads, such as roads, public transportation, education, and utilities. While I think growth is a good thing, I think Orlando's growing way too fast and is slowly losing the ability to keep up. At some point the mayor's gotta say "no more room, inn is full".
Finding that right suburb is the sweet spot
Hopefully NIO City comes to fruition.
You and me both !
Love this state.

Florida needs high class public transportation immediately. United States has one of the worst public transportation in the world. Our cities are full of concrete. We have more space for cars than people. Americans they've been forced to have cars. Is money money money👎
I’m hearing you 🫡
Wait a minute...All that new construction yet, what about that EyeSore on I-4 ?
