      I totally agree, but let's keep it under wraps so it doesn't get out of control and kill the charm! I have lived here almost 17 years and cannot believe the amount of growth (and not in a good way). We now have a chain store on the Ave that is usually found in malls. Urban Outfitters is a great store, but it broke my heart a little when it opened on Atlantic.

    When I lived in Delray Beach, the condo I lived in was nice, but after having 4 different groups to pay for homeowners, plus having people not paying & having an assessment, my payments were as much as a house payment, I ended up moving to Orlando, so I know that real estate is something else, not to mention that when my mom purchased the condo, we payed a good chunk of change, selling it in 2017, because of economics, and the real estate market, I lost my shirt, plus on a drive I took months ago, Doc's was closed for good, but they're lobbying to save the building, I hope they find another place to start back up because they did have good food

I do this in NY all the time and get free parking when I go into the city to see Broadway shows. I don't mind walking. I'm not a beach bum but I am interested in nightlife especially salsa dancing/music/live bands.

      that's not true, there is way too much money moving to Delray for the city to allow that, its much worse in Austin or LA

    Barely any video of the town and area, 99% of the video is just 15 minutes of a guy in a silly hat talking.

      Thanks for the feedback. Yes I needed more b-roll footage of the city when I made this video but if you watch some of my other Delray videos You'll see much more of the city.

    SKip the introductions. Ten percent is too long. Show less of your face and more of sites. Dislike from me.
