A city is a direct reflection of the people who live there.

Living in hell but being in paradise sounds like a good description of both California and Florida.
-
What a shame, because this place was beautiful back in the 80's! drugs and alcohol in excess, ruins everything.

“Living’ in hell… but being in paradise.” 😂😂😂👌

If Ft. Myers was a person, it would have a court date next week, it would ask you to borrow money, have a wrap sheet longer than your arm, it would drive a car with a permanent donut tire, have two baby mommas, and have more ink than ink pen

There’s nothing worse than being stuck behind someone like that Tundra in a traffic jam. Slowly rolling way behind everyone else while randomly stopping while the cars in front are moving. When I first moved to Florida I thought people that did this were trying to set up a rear end collision for a fraudulent insurance claim. It turns out they are just really bad drivers. For some reason it’s prevalent all over the state.

Fort Myers used to be a small town, now its a busy place. The bigger the population the more issues that can develop.

I much prefer Sarasota over Ft Myers. There was always something off about Ft Myers. It has no sense of community. Everyone there is new and no one knows one another. A city of strangers.

José, This is knowledge that only a local can give you, thank you for sharing.

Twenty four years ago I visited Fort Myers and it was truly the American Dream.A beautiful home with an indoor swimming pool was under 150k. Now it's really a mess.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I can tell what the problem is but im sure im not aloud to say it

I wanted a job down there, now I’m glad I didn’t get it

Well I’ve been living here in Ft Myers for 38 yrs and we still love it. Every where you go you will find few bad apples. Not all area is bad. Do some research . Im thankful that many of us are blessed. If you want to rent an apartment just canvas the area few times on weeknights and weekends and also on a day time. Just don’t jump because it’s low rentals. So don’t believe everything you hear on internet.

An eye opener! Thanks so much! We're going to leave this hood soon!

Like St Petersburg Florida it's now a shit hole,I know WHY,and most all people do... just won't say!

I've lived in Ft.Myers for over forty years, sure it has it's up and downs good and bad but thr growth that ive witnessed during that time is astounding. Three major Hurricanes and numerous Tropical storms have hit the area during my forty years and that is one of the reasons some area's look unacceptable unacceptable. But ive lived in many other States and cities and there really is no place like Ft.Myers. The Area is truly a tropical paradise and I don't intend on living anywhere else.

Matlacha used to be cool but it is gone.

Give it a little time. Anytime a city goes through a major hurricane it takes a good decade for it to come back. Same thing happened to Homestead, FL and New Orleans. Immediately after the hurricanes those cities were absolute crap holes and they bounced back.
-
Never recovered from the last hurricane. Other than that its typical Florida. I think it's the road rage capital since the last hurricane.
