I grew up in Palm Harbor ,FL .Tarpon Springs. I graduated from Tarpon Highschool. Are you from Pinellas county or citrus county area? Tarpon springs Florida is one of the most expensive places to live due to its expensive mansions on the water and the Gulf of Mexico. The Big bend you are speaking of is called "The nature Coast" the Big bend does not start until you get up to cedar key. Here's a tip, maybe try finding an array of people that are different ages from the areas you visit... Citrus county where we live now is one of the most expensive counties when it comes to real estate. Yeah there may not be much to do here for young people but there are tons of places to go especially outdoors on the river.
Almost everyone I know around Tampa bay go up there regularly. Especially in the summer. We tube the rainbow river at least once every summer. We go scalloping offshore from Crystal River. If you’ve never had lunch at The Freezer you’re missing out.
I’ve been in Inverness for about 2 years now and I believe it has grown so incredibly much just in that small time. There are so many new chain restaurants on 44 now.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Then don't. the end. There are some pretty chill places in NE Florida, so much so We use it to escape South Florida.. It depends on if you like to fish, and just chill... really chill. Panacea and Cedar Key are hidden gems untouched by over developement and urban sprawl.
One thing of note...Apalachicola is best known for their Oysters !!! Apalachicola Bay is home to the best tasting oysters in the SE USA ! Unfortunately at the time this video was produced Apalachicola Bay oystering industry was still shut down due to state regulations. But Apalachicola will survive and thrive as it has for generations
To be honest a 4 mile area along the cost of Pasco is sketch, however, if you travel east on highway 54 into Trinity, Odessa, Westely Chapel, Land O Lakes New Tampa New housing great communities, he's only videoing a very small strip of Pasco county,
Tarpon Springs is my favorite place in Florida. Just bought property and a vacation mobile home in Silver Springs Florida. Right on the border of Ocala National Forest. I love Florida. Rainbow Springs state park and Silver Springs state park are two of the most beautiful parks in Florida. Don’t miss out ppl!!! I’ll be living in Florida full time real soon. Chicago sux!!!
Those of us who live in the big bend area don't want tourists coming in and changing our way of life. There is more to life than crowded tourist filled streets and overpriced restaurants .
I'm on the east coast between St Augustine and Daytona and my town has been absolutely devastated since COVID. They are constantly clearing lots and building thousands of luxury homes that are selling for crazy money (my parents bought our house in 2008 for 85K now it's up above 300K) and we don't really have the jobs, my parents are retired and I do better than most working at a little sushi place in St Augustine. It's horrible bc big businesses are buying the houses to rent and that's why I'm still living at home bc fuck overpaying for rent. It's okay I just heard someone on the news complaining about they got flooded during the hurricane and she wanted to know who's fault it was bc someone needs to step up 😂. These newbies won't last in Florida for long
my husband retired after 26 yrs as a police officer and i'm retired with him😁 .. we moved to citrus county because it's a retirement area for the peace and quiet .. it's close enough of a drive to the water or anywhere in florida .. city life sucks (in my opinion ).. it's been a great almost 2 yrs now .. i haven't come across one nasty person or attitude .. yet .. lol (except for one guy from NY that was snippy with a girl at wawa over waiting too long for a sandwich (he was a 🍆)🙄 there are new businesses & restaurants being built which is creating employment opportunities for a lot of the non retired residents which is nice .. just hoping it doesn't get as congested here like the other parts of FL 🙏 btw.. hope you're feeling better with your back .. i'm now three months out of my surgery and on the mend .. and pain free .. praying for your speedy recovery .. 🙏

Your channel is awesome for getting information to people looking to move to Florida and what towns to stay away from, especially people who think they can just buy a house virtually
I’m from broward county we don’t really pay attention that much to what’s going on that far north of us but I will say all of this sound correct 🤣🤣 trust me south Florida and north Florida is like night and day
Is anyone else wondering about the credentials behind all these judgements? The internet, maybe? Driving briefly through towns doesn’t make you an expert on living there. If someone is looking to relocate, I would do more research than watching a video. I have lived in Florida most of my life and every community has pros and cons. This video kind of hurts my heart. This man doesn’t know the families or circumstances in any of these communities personally I don’t believe, but comes across as very judgmental. Some of his facts could be true, I don’t know, but to me, this is an extremely negative video so no thumbs up in my case
I can't decide for you, but if you do make that call hit up my wife katie. she won't mislead you, anything you need to know she will give you a real perspective. katierodriguezochoa.kw.com/
Before I even watch this video let me guess why they're so few people there number one I don't really think you could have a deep water port in the region because it's so shallow and also there's really few beaches you can get to without a boat witch to me makes the region beautiful I live on the east coast Cape Canaveral I like to go over there a lot with my Gheenoe and camp out on some of the offshore Islands and rivers
Where addiction is an issue, crime is guaranteed an issue..the limited crime stats are due to small county law enforcement inability to keep up with arrests..crime is there, just goes un-punished
I went to this area in 2020 when I was looking for a home to buy. It gave me Meth-any vibes. We Googled “nearest beach” which was Fort Island beach in Crystal River. Stale water, muddy and swampy… we passed. That’s a reason why it’s cheaper.
Extremely impressed with your research and commentary! 🌀 Where do you generally stayed when you travel? 💲 Do you think you could make a video talking about hotels and motels? Have you ever stayed in a hostel?
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS maybe not but a hostel video would. Perhaps you could just give 2 minutes of commentary during a future video on how you like to save money or what your hotel motel preferences are.... Just an add-on, I mean not stand-alone video. Thank you for your consideration and excellent editing!!
I had 10 acres in 95. Keaton beach. But came across tough times . Paid 20k. Wonder what it's worth now.? I don't like to see my neighbors. I'm stuck in concrete jungle. Broward/coward county. 😂
Are you guys from the Bay area because it doesn't seem that you know very much about these counties you're talking about with the exception of Pasco.your facts are extremely exaggerated. On one hand in citrus county you're saying is the elderly capital then you say it's the overdose capital for young people which is not true. As far as citrus county being the cheapest to live if you consider 350k to half million dollar homes in sugar Mill woods and million dollar plus homes on the water then sure quite affordable.
We're actually so tired of snowbirds here. We don't need the influx if snowbirds it's a myth at this point we're so overcrowded and have enough tourists yet no reasonably safe affordable housing. I wish we could close Florida off in the winter to keep them out all together. After 5 decades I'm so done with areas and car crashes that have been wrecked by snowbirds. Tourism is one thing but the snowbirds need a new God's waiting room outside of the state of Florida. Tell them we're closed 🤣
They need to clean up this part of the state. When most of the population lives in poverty and no one wants to work, you have a problem. When the developers start pushing in and building better infrastructure/homes, you will see change. I still think they should preserve some of it, but most of it is an undesirable crap hole.
@@Arginne That's what I mean. Start building better infrastructure/communities and then people will come and there will have to be jobs or some type of industry. People can't live like this forever. It takes a commitment from within though to want a change. Especially as other parts of the state become unaffordable for so many Floridians, this region of the state will become desirable for middle (and lower) income people if you push this crap out. The fact is, meth is a huge problem in the Big Bend region, particularly in the lower part of it. Besides, you have so many beautiful springs/natural preserves in this part of the state. It can become desirable but the people have to want change.
Blame the north all you want but your very own Governor DeSantis is the one allowing and pushing for all the overdevelopment going on. Please don't tell me you voted for that clown if overdevelopment is something you're actually concerned about
Anytime you think of retirement in Florida, you better consider healthcare facilities. Alot of bullshit healthcare here. Be where you have good doctors and hospitals or you'll find out real quick you're not in New York or major city anymore
Well, from what is discribed with this video is the the big bend over of Florida is the a--hole of Florida. It has been that since forever. You drive West till you smell it and drive a little more till you step in it. AMEN!

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS The land it's parked on has value, and a mobile home is certainly easier to remove from a lot than a sticks and bricks. Do you have a study you can refer me to for the depreciation of families who reside in that type of housing?
This guy judges these towns like if they aren't like most towns they must be bad but to those people living there those towns are just the way they want them not others passing through or they wouldn't stay in them.
