Originally Pennsylvania, now living in the hell hole known as Lakeland, Florida. The lightning and methamphetamine capital of the world!
....with the one bright spot being Sheriff Grady Judd. He's a legend!

I don't hate Lakeland per se, I am just not liking the increase in traffic/population lately, and the excessive rain we've been getting.

Yeah, at least he's trying to work on the amphetamine problem. Not much he can do about the lightning!

You know there is a reason for the increase in population, right? Because it's a great place to be! Well, at least better than Tampa and Orlando, who are a major reason for the increase, and it only seems to be getting worse. I actually don't like how Lakeland is getting to be like 3 sections, South, North, and Downtown. I have a place on the North side, and almost never get down to the South side anymore. Even 20 years ago it wan't *that* bad to drive to the South end of town. I still like the downtown area vs other cities. It's kind of the perfect size right now. And of course, if we can make Grady Judd king!

I'm a "southsider" and what is happening down here is massive deforestation for apartments, subdivisions, and warehousing. The wildlife is getting chased into the existing population, where people kill them because they are now a "nuisance". More people moving here will mean larger roads, more pollution, less wilderness. It is very sad.
(And yes, I know I am not a native, but I was brought here as a child almost 40 years ago. It wasn't a choice on my part!)
I've managed to buy a small parcel of wild land there, and I am doing everything in my power to preserve it and enjoy it's natural wonders before it's gone.
