- While many people want to MOVE TO Naples and surrounding area... many long time residents have decided its time to find greener pastures. When people move to a better place, they sometimes bring their problems with them. You can't call this "Nappy City" anymore.
I love how people just ASSUME I am a failure, assume we don't own real estate and businesses. It's like in their minds they envision the absolute worst they can about me as if that changed the truth about my honest thoughts. Most people you see "look" rich are just in debt to their necks. I don't need a car or gated community to "feel" superior I've lived in gated communities basically A PRISON you pay for.
Please don’t listen to these people saying you’re a failure...you’re absolutely right:salary here in Florida is awful and housing prices are high. Naples is not a place you can get a great job..I’ve lived in Florida my entire life and you’re SPOT ON with what you’re saying.
So true. If you read Millionaire Next Door, you will find the truth about who are millionaires and those who want to impress people and are broke.
Jose thanks for this very insightful and accurate video. The rich are always evaluating people like they do their prospective business deals. The rich know who people are right away, like it or not. They judge people by the following criteria: how they look which includes: how they talk: accent, grammatical errors, volume of speech, tone of voice, cadence, emotion, etc.; how they walk, carry themselves, their conduct, and manners. Level of education, elite schools, income, intelligence level; personal style: clothing, car, house, make up, etc.; they assign a class level based on these and other criteria. This is classism as they treat all people this way. You are right. The rich spend thousands on things they never use rather than paying and treating their help well. They don't give enough to charity, sometimes.
@@vegasventurer3437 So true. Jose is right. We need to just be ourselves.
A good channel to watch at these times is Pepper Princess on CZcams. All the best to you and if you are debt free keep saving.
I've been in Naples for 12 years now and originally from Miami, this guy is spot on. Unless you are in construction, real estate or nursing you will have a hard time finding a modest paying job.
Just keep in mind that most of the Naples residents already lived their lives and enjoyed them elsewhere, not here in Naples.
in Alabama now, enjoying life
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Hi Jose, I hope you like it there! I'm in Pensacola, Fl and have lived in Naples - back in 2000 -02, moved from Miami back then. We were there 6 years ago renting and I agree with everything you say. I guess we will stay here for now.
100% , Including myself several people work in the service industry but last year was probably some of the WORST i've ever seen in Staffing problems across the whole city and people are quitting left and right, because those service jobs dont pay anywhere enough because of inflation. Not enough jobs or well paying jobs in general over here, even i have to move out eventually because theres no jobs for the field im studying
Jose, I was born and raised in S. FL. I left FL when I was 26. I'm impressed with how you explain the situation in FL for people who want to move to FL and for those who want to move out of FL. Thank you! Keep up the good work!
News flash...this is happening everywhere..
not everywhere, but too many places
not this case.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS everywhere!!!
I work there time to time. I hate it.
Sarasota is Horrible also now. I worked for Collier County Sheriffs in the early 90s
Your honesty is appreciated. You tell it the way it is with no sugar coating anything. Interesting video - keep them coming.
I've traveled the globe and it's happening everywhere...Monaco, NY, California, Japan, etc. Discrimination has been around since the beginning . I'm Hispanic and I have had my share of it. I learned to deal with it and still succeed. I'm looking forward to purchasing a Waterfront home there. Good luck wherever you decide to move.
looks like we will be out of here soon, cant wait. things starting to work out i hope
yep this
Florida native and Naples resident since 1970's here... If you moved here 20 years ago (or later) you never saw the greatness that Naples once was. Maybe a hint...but the truly great Naples was already gone. Pre 1990 was best. Back in the day...it was a great place to live and raise a family. There was a sense of community. Everyone knew each other. The schools were safe. The neighborhoods were safe. It was predominantly white. I am not a racist. I am stating a fact. There was very little crime then, petty crime. We left our doors unlocked at home and our cars left unlocked while we were at the beach. We all hung out together. Rich, poor, it didn't matter. There were parties all over town, Port Royal, Olde Naples, the Moorings, Pine Ridge, Naples Park, Golden Gate, we all had a great time together.There were two lane roads, a lot of woods separating the main communities around town, much less traffic, and much fewer traffic lights. You knew the cars your friends drove. Everywhere you drove you saw hands out the car window waving at friends driving by. Fishing was great then. The water was clean. If you had a cut/wound the salt water in the Gulf would literally heal it more quickly. There were plenty of places to ride dirt bikes and go four wheeling, or horseback riding. Camping could be done very close to home rather than driving hours to find a secluded spot to camp. Naples had a warm, friendly vibe, to all who lived here, and to all who visited. Again, there was sense of community, a feeling of ownership, a pride in keeping our neighborhoods clean, nicely manicured, and well kept.. It was like we were all family. Hard to see what it has become. Diversity is NOT our strength. Look at FBI crime statistics. It's not just changing in and around Naples. It is happening everywhere.
Honestly, The rich have done more damage to this town than the poor working class who came here to work. Sounds like an amazing time. There are places in North Florida, Georgia, Alabama that are similar to what you mention now. I got a small glimpse of it, came here in 2000. Its sad. cant take time back. I understand what you mean, remember the people from up north changed Florida more than the working class.
@FHV you are right, to a degree. I did not cover every angle in my initial reply. The real issues that we face with crime and public safety are due to demographics/diversity...The new money wealth in the area definitely changed Naples for the worse in many other aspects. Naples started to take a dive right about the time that Pelican Bay was being developed...it steam-rolled out of control since then. I was fortunate enough to have lived 8 blocks from the pier in Olde Naples for 12 years of my 40 years in Naples 1995-2007. The community was peaceful, pristine, safe, and beautiful in more ways than one could ever imaging if you had never lived there. I saw the destruction of the Old Florida Charm, erased from our history, more and more each year. And it was heartbreaking... Every year quaint old wooden homes 'the charm of Olde Naples' were torn down and massive fancy homes or condos took their place. The home that I lived in was built in the 50's, sold in 2007, leveled, and an upscale condo is there today. I am so sick of the term upscale and everything that comes with that mentality, homes, restaurants, stores, etc... Back to safety...The exponential crime rate increase is due to drastic changes in demographics/diversity. After the market crashed in 2008 Naples changed worse than I could have ever imagined. 8 years of Obama put the nail in the coffin. RIP Naples.
My bestie moved from Gainesville to Naples for her dream job. She is not at all rich. When I was down there visiting her I was amazed at how kind and considerate people were. The drivers were even nice. I live in Winter Haven myself. My favorite place is Siesta Key which is near Sarasota. One day I'll own a place there.
P.S. when I was down there in Naples I was stealing coconuts off of people's lawns. Haha. 🤣🤣
It's not just a Naples thing, it's a society thing.
bingo!
the internet has fucked society up so bad it's pathetic.
Naples sounds like Northern Va.
WAKE UP and do something before we have Venezuela and everyone but the Rich are Homeless.
I think the smaller cities are developing and filling up because the bigger cities are over crowded. Everybody wants to live in Florida. I came here from WV to escape the freezing winter's. Florida is beautiful and I love it here.
Thank you Rebecca, I am an old lady, widow, painter. I live in Cudjoe Key an island 20 miles to Key West, the house is for sale and I am moving to an apartment in Naples. I was for 2 days in Naples and I loved it!
Lived in Naples for 30 years, it’s not the same anymore. Housing is out of control. I’ve moved because I can no longer afford and the rich think they own you.
they sure do! hope your happy where ever you are now
FLORIDA HOOD VLOGS So gar so good
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS i lived in naples for 20 years and boy was the high cost out of control
Cary Bango yeah oh my god, I used to work at a nice restaurant in Naples. The customers are the most entitled pieces of garbage I’ve ever been around
The same thing is happening in Venice FL , perhaps not to the extent of Naples but all the houses being built in or near Venice are expensive and in gated, golf course communities. Just lost the small town atmosphere it once had.
Here are the top 10 reasons: Traffic,Traffic, Traffic, Traffic,Traffic,Traffic,Traffic, Traffic,Traffic,Parking!
humm hummm..
try livign in NYC where we pay 5 thousand a month to park out little piece of junk care where we drive for hours what used to take us 20 minutes and I dont have a choice I am handicapped!
@@porkfied This is NYC yes I meant park your car
@@porkfied Excuse me I am not telling you where I live! The name of the parking is the name of the building its not even a garage its outside! I dont need stalkers! Here is a list of parking for many deferent areas and some of them bad areas and their costs which you could have easily googled without disturbing me! www.brickunderground.com/live/buy-or-rent-parking-spot-nyc
@@porkfied it makes no sense to you because you don't live here and no offense but your small town mentality cant wrap your head around it. Here is one my building is not on it so it only goes up to 100 a month but more than you pay it seems media.thinknum.com/articles/most-expensive-spothero-parking-nyc/
Thanks Jose. This was very good and educating. I appreciate your efforts in compiling this clip.
Glad it was helpful! see our new NAPLES uploads. were in ALABAMA now.
This is happening everywhere there are only two classes of people in the US. Poor and rich. The middle class is gone
no middle ground here
Some that we’re poor, r definitely rich in there heart and mom
@PWRFL, So true! In the last 10 yrs., over development and increased housing prices are crazy in the Southeastern U.S. It just feels and looks oddly different...
Not true,I'm middle class..
bull$hit claim
Thank you for your honesty🙌🏼 I am Peruvian, so I lived in Lima-Perú, Bahrein, Madrid-Spain and now in US (FL) and I also traveled around, and I must say that all the facts that you mention Sir (as discrimination and snobby people) it’s not a NAPLES thing or US thing, actually I can say than over here is not that bad as in another countries, believe me… it’s a Society thing, a “wrong human behavior thing”… that is going to depend on your personal and family values and of course being respectful with everybody doesn’t matter where you come from. :) God luck, take care and blessings to you and your family 🙌🏼
Mui triste pero mui cierto 😭
Well, this trend is happening all over the country. Big money is killing the the working class.
so true. palm beach north part of the island was upper middle class. then developers made the 3 bedroom houses mini mansions. now no ocean breezes going thru palm beach island.
What have you done to stop it? The middle class should not allow the rich to crush them and render them homeless in the next several years. Tent Cities are growing. Do something while you still can or don't complain about being homeless.
At least Atlantic City, NJ and Ocean City, Maryland are one of the few beach towns that are still cheap and too low standard for developers to want to exploit. Look at the property values in those cities. Beach front property for less than 500k in AC. There's a nice suburb neighborhood in AC, Absecon, where you can have a million dollar view of the water and city from a big home for around 400k. AC being so close to Philadelphia, I wonder why more wealthy people or developers haven't took over that whole county. Sure, the county sucks and already has been exploited by the rich, but it still has a lot of potential. When I am in NJ or Philly for work, I often make a quick visit to AC if it's a warm season. It has good food, A LOT of diversity, mostly friendly people, has a decent enough beach depending on the water temperature of the day, things are pretty cheap, you can drink booze on the beach without cops making a fuss, play music on the beach without anyone fussing (beach goers there seem pretty chill often), rent a boat for cheap, gas stations pump gas for you, the county has some natural beauty surrounding the city, still has nightlife, and has some fun things to do still despite the current struggle it's going through. It's a crappy beach town, but it beats a crappy overpriced beach town full of snobs anyday.
@@Kehwanna We used to vacation during the summer in Ocean City, MD and Fenwick Island, DE in the 1980s and 1990s from Upstate New York. Is it much different now? It's not Florida, but I still had to be careful about avoiding sunburn.
@@ts214121 Ocean City, MD is actually pretty nice still. I live in Yonkers, NY and have co-workers that live up here that tell me how they have a great time vacationing in OC, MD and Virginia Beach. Everytime I went to OC, Maryland I had a good time because there's a good deal of places to eat and have a relaxing time. I just turned 30 and I still like nightlife aspects in cities, so I wouldn't say OC has a lot of that aside from the boardwalk, but it's definitely a relaxing place to vacation to if you live up north and just need a beach with comfortable close enough. I personally like OC, NJ better just because there's more to see, do, and eat there, especially since it's right next to Atlantic City's historic boardwalk, but the water temperature there is more hit or miss. In NJ even on the hottest day the water can be too unpleasant, though there are enough times where the water is very comfortable. OC, MD is less crowded than the one in NJ and the water is almost always warm. Both beach towns don't have a lot of crime from what I see and the crowds at both beaches are very nice. The only source of crime you really got to worry about are those thieving seagulls that will raid your beach picnic.
We moved to Naples 35 years ago. We thought it was beautiful (which it was!) and we ejoyed it to a point. Even that many years ago, we heard from residents that it had changed for the worse. All you say is true. The arrogance of the wealthy residents is pathetic. We were middle class, my husband working for a builder and worked as a Preschool teacher. The well to do would have preferred if all service/trade people offered their skills and serivices from 7 to 5 and left to live outside of the city until the next work day. ALL that you say about the rich residents is TRUE! Arrogant and nasty and cannot be pleased. ALSO: They have no use for kids and teenagers, voting down EVERY possible change to bring activities to Naples for youth.
They have succeeded in keeping all but their own rich kind in; and everyone else out. Rich are good at that.
lol i left nyc for this reason. it eventually was like there were TWO cities. the absolute ghetto, cramped hellish spaces and a glorious haven for the wealthy on their rooftops in brooklyn
@@ganymeade5151 except the public, both lefties and rightwingers are FINALY fighting back, figuring it out and getting hella sick of it cuz the Richies are pushing too far, taking too much and causing too much homelessness and dire poverty which means Class Warfare...the itchforks come out!! Wait til they see even the republicans have figured out just how bad it's getting, not just the trendy socialists , but everyone lol!!!!
crazy Richies are all pathological often narcs or sociopaths!
As someone who lived here all my life, i'd like for people to stop moving down here and making it a worse place to live. Don't need tourists and their issues.
I really appreciate your videos. Ex Florida resident here 😎 yeppers and I worked for the state of Florida in Tourism 😮 I love Florida but people have ruined it ! Building, building, building… money, money, money You are spot on Jose
Florida has almost no control over development and zoning. It’s out of control.
Mr. Q sure there is. Been under control since the 70’s when it comes to each front. The east coast was ruined in the 60’s though
High Price of Housing/Living is driving out the Retirees . But i hate to tell them . Their are very few Low Cost of Living area's left in the US .
America is becoming a country that only cares about the rich. Sad.
I lived in Naples 36 yrs. with 4yr.old son from Toledo, Ohio..It was snobby and rude, loved those subliminal messages so full of it here lol..Weather, beaches, beautiful..Now it's time to move either the panhandle or out of state..Just hope I can sell out before the property taxes are out of sight, because of all the new construction.. I love your videos there very informative.. Thank-You..
Lol I’m from Cleveland. Naples is so boring , I’d choose tampa or Miami
You filmed the house I was born in ! ! ! that was so cool .💯‼️
A great video with many considerations about moving and life. You have a perspective that will help folks. Sharing is so valuable.
thanks. this is a very old video. its the first video that blew up this channel too.
North Carolina here. Love the channel. Thanks for giving me the good , bad, and ugly of Florida
Love the fact this guy is real about everything.. the values in our society are in Demise..
Truth! Lived in Naples for nine months…’99 - ‘00 from ATL as a 26 y/o. Had two jobs. Made good money in restaurant during high season.
People made fun of my southern accent. There was no one to date…soooo many old people.
Lived there 7 years...would never move back.
Enjoying a much better life in the Carolinas.
Heat and humidity is 9 months a year in Naples. Lot more bang for your buck here, people are much more friendly up here, and the change of seasons is fantastic.
thank you so much! I hope you enjoy this great state! NC :)
Where in NC do you live...want to move there from Orlando...THXS
Thanks for your honest observations. Can you recommend any particular cities in NC? Ive been to Charleston, but that wasn't for me either.
MENE MENE TEKEL i cant. I have not been to this state in many years
MENE MENE TEKEL
Depends what you are looking for. Family type city, I like Winston Salem. Mountains...Asheville or surrounding towns.
Greenville, SC is exploding...people pouring in.
Totally agree with video. I've been in Naples almost 20 years. Every year traffic is worse and worse and worse. So much new development and no new roads. They keep building and never think of how the traffic will get around.
Born n raised here. Not everyone rich buddy we all come from nothing at sum point🤨
not everyone, some people silver plate life. would not work if you beat them
some
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS What a Royal Joke!!!...Ha, ha, ha,ha, ha!
Youre either the rich or the poor working for the rich to enjoy their days here.
How do people survive on only $25 per hour. It must be tough in such high cost area.
Been here for 12 years and this place just isn’t the same as before
LIKE EVERY OTHER PLACE YOU DUMB FUCK
very true sadly
During George W Bush, FL actually seemed more normal to me, During Obama, and into Trump, that all changed. Bradenton felt like what some place in Texas would today as far as being more down to earth. Thats why more people looked at going to B-town I believe. Its one of the last cities to change.
@@Burning_Babylon jesus relax lol. it’s not the same as before because it used to be a small fishing town and now it’s hells overcrowded waiting room. that 180 doesn’t happen everywhere
Born and raised in Naples left in 2015 at age 29. Miss it but it has changed SO much since I graduated Lely in 05. Miss my old Naples 15 years ago 💜💜💜💜 but yes one main reason I left is bc I couldn’t afford to sustain there!!!!! Sad but true!! Still, growing up around pristine beauty and wealth spoils you. I’m now in SW Butthole of the world PA and miss home so much. Ugh!
move to englewood Fl, its like what NAPLES WAS.
I love the North Naples Country Club, it’s where I go after a hard day of feeling under appreciated!
its a nice bar. they cook good and prices are fair for the area. great service
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS the Seminole saloon to locals..
Speaking as a NY suburbian transplant to Cocoa FL, I can honestly say, I have found more successful native Floridians tend to be at least, if not more obsessed with class and social status than middle-class Newyorkers. I am lower middle class and was accepted in the NY tennis community very well.
Hey Jose, I love hearing your perspectve!
love*
Thankyou for informing everyone.
they are NOT HAPPY about my opinion. LOL
I appreciate the honesty
its still a nice town, good schools.. but not for me, we need to find greener pastures
Agree. I’m a native Floridian who moved here from Hollywood FL almost 20 years ago. My biggest complaint is the lack of neighborhoods, not gated communities but real neighborhoods like in KY and VA. Everything here is the opposite. Port Royal houses don’t impress me at all, give me a 1950’s home that’s been renovated by a handyman on a street with space between houses and genuine nice people and I’m happy. It’s not possible here unless you live in the Estates which as you said, is being built on by large companies on literally every plot of empty land. It’s definitely lost that hometown, cozy feel to the greedy builders and snobby officials. Rude people don’t bother me, I whip out my Native Floridian card and wave bye to their Lambos and Teslas ;)
Mi Lynn 20 years here i came from ky. It was hard my street was gangs shootings weekly
@Teddy James Hollywood is a Dive with lots of violent crime. Only the rich can afford the good side that is parts of West Hollywood.
So a realtor made a REPLY type video about this video. Notice she has been on CZcams for 9 years, and only has 29 subscribers. her video currently has 300 views and comments are disabled. Comments are not disabled on this video, you can talk, express your thought as long as you are not using vulgar or profanity. In fact, most comments here disagree with me, but they are there for you to see. Did I mention everyone in Naples is a realtor? LOL
Cyanobacteria and mosaic dumping radioactive waste in the water are why I’d never buy here and that’s why I’m leaving.
Debra Morales thats in arcadia far away
That’s not true. www.google.com/amp/s/amp.news-press.com/amp/90617996
CAPE CORAL, Fla. ... The paper, sent by South Florida Water Services, states a massive sinkhole near the world's largest fertilizer plant has drained over 215 million gallons of contaminated radioactive waste in the Florida aquifer, which has “drastically affected the water quality throughout Southwest Florida.”Jun 8, 2017
The algae is so bad that scientists who are studying our issues here in SWFL, label it “do not touch”. But we drink it and bathe in it. www.google.com/amp/s/www.fox13news.com/news/tests-reveal-new-florida-algae-blooms-too-toxic-to-touch.amp
I'm glad you feel this way.good for you be who you want to be.my grand kids live there no matter what that is what I will be telling be good and be yourself
Most of the “problems” highlighted here are applied to the rest of the country ! So it’s not Naples it’s a national trend !
to some degree, sadly true.
Having attained some level of fame and success myself, and having been in the Nashville music industry, being around Wynonna Judd, Marty Stewart, Kenny Rogers, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, at Moraine Music Group, and later dating the owner of Curb, I can state that the wealthy send their children to private schools, and they shop at boutiques rather than malls, noting that the speaker in this video is confusing the middle class with those of real wealth. The truly wealthy only shun the poor if they fear their moral character might be that of a criminal, otherwise, sympathy seems to be their prevailing attitude toward the underprivileged. I grew accustomed to being around the upper social class, so hearing about this seems foreign, yet since the middle class is steeped in competition, he may be right.
sadly
right on!
The problem is ignorance!!! But between Kerrville Texas and Naples Florida the race is close. White privilege needs to shut the f up get off Facebook and fantasy land and see the real world. Who is on stamps? Who is in the corner begging for money vs who is in the low in come jobs working 3 jobs. So you are right it's a nationalist problem.
I was born and raised in Naples and you are 💯 on point!!!!
Eva Lopez 😅🌴
Hey man, great video and totally agree with your assessments of the state of things there.
I guess the 'gentrification' happens everywhere. Used to like Naples, St. Pete, can't afford it now.
Lived here 13 years. Leaving. I agree 100%
True true my dude born n raised here 35 years n i feel outta place these days
I grew up here in Naples. It was a beautiful small town back in the 70's. They are ruining it daily with all the over building. We're going to be just like Miami soon. Makes me angry. Miss my small town.
Miami is BEEN better than Naples for a while now.. not sure where u get the notion naples is better. Naples has wealth? miami has MORE.. MUCH MORE. What does Naples have better than Miami??? traffic? barely/?? beaches.. you must not know their beaches are CLEAR WATER even on a clear day.
Clearwater Beach had this happen 20 years ago when it was a middle class resort area. The mom and pop motels that were clean and decent places to visit were bought and replaced by high rise that sometimes uses an entire block. Daytona hasn't gotten there yet, so we still visit South Shores. The north beach area is all new exclusive resorts. I can't believe the motorcycle people still go there.
Brother man, well spoken & much thanks for bringing it home about the Mystique of the pseudo Elite'$
I agree with the housing is a lot. I have the hardest time fitting in due to the culture difference 😞
I basically agree with everything you said. The past 5 years have been difficult for my family to just live average lives. Now the past 2 years have been even MORE difficult, and I’m a server at a restaurant plus my husband is a supervisor at a brand hotel and an EMT and we’re still struggling. I don’t understand the real estate situation, it’s disgusting honestly. 1 bedroom 1 bathroom are 1300 plus all the other bills tacked on plus anything else you want and then normal groceries and what nots. It’s horrible, I was born and raised here and as I’m getting older I’m finding myself wanting to leave because it’s just stupid here nowadays because of all the reasons listed in this video. So...STOP MOVING HERE AND MAKING IT terrible FOR US LOCAL PEOPLE! Because you’re driving us out of our community and homes and our way of life down here because you want to live the island way???! No one cares you’re reason because you’ll be gone in a few years anyways while we’ll be still be here but with the higher way of living because you came down and ruined this or that for us local folk.
Well done video you were polite and you were careful with most of things and ways you said everything. 👍🏼 haha while I went a little off in my comment 😋
if u MUST remain in SWFL rents in labelle can be as low as $700. quite a drive tho. look up citrus county its very affordable. Inverness, and beverly hills is also affordable. people say BH is bad but, we were there and its no less bad than Golden gate city for example. close to the villages which is fast growing town like our area you can commute. rents up there can be low, 650 to 800 range in some spots. but it will get expensive up there too, eventually if you don't own real estate you will be forced out.. its good to own something, houses in BH can be $65,000 liveable.. ignore the BS online.. remember naples park was a DUMP and how its $400,000 for an old hut
@Rob Roberts Not to mention when the ghettobusters move in you have to move out.
Give me a break, then either make more money, push yourself to make smarter decisions, or live more modestly and carefully. You don’t own the city, if you did, you could set your own boundaries. Go somewhere you can afford to live. My guess is you won’t like those places….
@@ahf5471 suck a nut sounds like a snowbird to me
If you've been there 20 years, you remember when they couldn't get people to work for the wages they wanted to pay, because they couldn't afford to live, even in outlying communities. If I remember, the state sued them to force Naples to have affordable housing. Their idea of "affordable" housing was $900 for a 1 BR apartment. Nobody on minimum wage, especially back then, could afford that.
Most of the people that work in Naples can't afford to live in Naples. Spent a year in Florida and it's the biggest dump I've ever lived in. I'll take Ft.Myers for 2 weeks of vacation. That's it.
FLORIDA MAN STATE OF MIND
On a 2 week vacation, I wouldn't mind Ft Myers at all, to live there though, I don't think I could do it.
I born and raised in Naples, I had to move and I really miss it I would move back in a heartbeat if I could but I can't. Even though it's expensive living there. Naples is just Home!❤
sorry to hear that, where ya at now?

wow those first years must have been amazing
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Yes sir, my great grand dad moved to Naples from Ft, Myers in 1926. My great great grand dad moved from From Tampa to Ft Myers. They were linemen/electricians that came down with the roads as they were being built through Florida. Lots of good stories.
Spot on, you nailed it. It's not only getting a problem in Naples, the whole south from Tampa is just full.
Weak, unambitious people never succeed in life. And who still says. “Spot On” ?
That is true
Heyyy I'm from Louisville ky to. I lived in naples for 2 years and absolutely hated it. I made decent money but the people just drove me away. Most people there are from up north. Jobs are becoming slim there to. When I first moved to Florida I moved to saint Pete. Hands down best city in florida that's for sure. Never hated florida until I moved to naples and luckily about a month ago i moved away form this terrible city. Happily living in austin Texas and absolutely love it here. People are so nice it's way cheaper and jobs actually pay well.
Lauren Masterson lots of jobs in texas now
Austin is going to shit as well,..been in Austin for 25 years..police suck,the rich kids are disrespectful,the city has become overrun with Meth heads and the housing is over priced and the Gov.,Mayor and City managey are ruining the city... I'm moving,..screw Austin.
Hey Jose. I'm from Louisville too. Been here for 31 years now. My wife and I moved here when I was 42. lol Old now but trying to enjoy fishing. Just got a Kayak.

Same here since 15 years ago o moved for medical reasons and just moved back and wow more people and vehicles than I ever seen down here before I am not riding my Harley now down here.
PLEASE DONT! they will hurt you.
Crazy drivers also. Be careful of Senior Drivers.
I still would not trade Naples for MIAMI, TAMPA, ORLANDO, or ANY large city is USA..
Teddy James its a fun place to visit but living there would be boring. Not even places to eat, the locals are some ruff people you would not want to get on their bad side... cool people but.. bot people you wanna cross. The mosquitos are far too bad, the drive to store and town far too long and ive worked there a few times doing trash outs far too much drug use.
Almost every single person including my Cuban in laws all hate Miami. Talk about needing money or you’re gutter trash
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS The mosquitos are bad in the estates, The people are stupid and eithee think they own you or cuss you our and leave you alone.
So Naples is better than those?
All of those cities > Naples
I've been to Naples, very beautiful place.
laken1804 it sucks
laken1804 but it is pretty
Polished turd
I live in Cape Coral and the traffic from here to Naples is always horrible. If I have to get out and about, I'm up early and back home by noon at the latest. Otherwise it's bumper to bumper traffic.
Your video is right on I was born and raised here. Decided to move over to Coconut Grove ....My wife is from there....
Thats a fancy area too. I love the tropical plants out there. traffic sucks tho.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Yep. Doesn’t it ever! Horrible traffic. We live in South Florida.
I grew up in Napa, California.... the same situation there too.
It was like that when I lived there in the 80s. I see it has not changed.
Andrew Hollendursky this town changes on a yearly basis so many people moving in and out
I'm a Florida Native and #2 has always been that way. And Jupiter,Fl is the same way also!!!
We moved here from Colorado 7 months ago. Never seen so much fraud until we lived here. Traffic is awful, beaches have red tide, and the rich think they can do whatever they want. It’s like a different world here. There is no perfect place, but we are going back to Colorado.
I am here, hoping this place sells to leave myself. Have you considered blue ridge mountains in georgia or lake martin in alabama? Nashville maybe?
VenusRising nice areas. Some parts are expensive others not
FLORIDA HOOD VLOGS Thx for advice in places. Heard Georgia was nice. We have some neighbors from there. They just moved out here and hate it but have to wait 2 years to sell. We are going back to Co. Good luck on selling your place! And hopefully you move somewhere you like. Hard to find these days.
David Schaefer yeah i know the feeling two years or pay taxes.
The Racing Pigeon Club yes! Unfortunately and fortunately, we bought a house and were lied to about the condition. Lost money but I guess if you buy a house with unexpected problems it’s an exception. I had a CPA show me the rule. Hang in there!
Born and raised in Naples actually Marco island 1979 and my husband is 4 th generation Collier county one of the found ing families in this town! It's true half the natives have been pushed out die to the changes! Affordable housing is slim to none. All the wealthy people are going to have. A hard time finding people that will see e them such as mechanics even trades people! I work in the medical.field and it's hard to make a living becauae the pay sucks and it's only half the year that you can keep full time.hours when the snow birds come for the winter! This town has bee totally ruined and it breaks my heart that I can't share the same Naples withy kids!
those people who first came here were special people, this was a tuff place to live. Its all but gone now sadly. i go out into the everglades its the best i can do to feel at home now days
sperlings 1952
Robert Walker?
Toooo expensive for the poor man, and don't pay us enough only enough for rent
I loved Naples in the late seventies, but not any more. You are right Naples is not like it was any more. I have very good memories from Naples.
Your insights really fit my perceptions of Naples even 20 years ago it was already getting busy. Why bother to live at all in any of these towns, rent a room for 2 weeks or a months and move on.
in alabama now doing well
Development is the reason i didn’t move back after moving out before development.
Been here 30 years and the 90’s was the best
that was an awesome time to be here
Interesting. Why? The early 2000s were not bad, were they?
@@marypac4882 up until about 2006-2007ish, but the early/mid 90's we're some of the best times of my life here in Naples.
Teddy James Same
this dude sounds like an illegal alien.. my guess is Louisville ky was handing out illegal documents easily.... Of course the '90's was awesome,, these people could not move here until the easy credit post 911 with George bush as pres.. where they got everything for free.. that's the real truth.. I can't believe what I am seeing on youtube noone can speak their minds.. and Trump is not doing what he said.. if you came here illegally if your parents had you hewre while they were here illegally.. you are going backa. ;)
I moved to Cape Coral part of the year two years ago and occasionally I have to go to Naples for a work assignment. It takes one visit there to realize stuffiness exudes the town. It's night and day between Ft. Myers/Cape Coral vs Naples. When I'm there I stop at Oakes Market, which has some specialty items that I don't find in many places. Even some of the staff who I'm sure don't make much are snooty. Naples sucks IMHO.
oh the regular people here are even worst.. no doubt.. i hate it .
Interesting video.... just about all of these reason sound similar to the DMV area, Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Just depends on who you are and what you want your outlook to be upon LIFE. Some can find the good and the bad with anything and any place and everywhere. It's what you make it and what your goals are. Interesting info, and a perspective on Naples Florida.
i live in alabama now and love it. plenty of people from VA here tho
The most useful information about an area comes from the locals! Hey, love the perspective of the video and first hand knowledge. 👍 new sub, thank you
thanks, more rants coming soon
We own a business here in Naples. It was started 30 years ago. We find the people here gracious and wanting to improve their properties. Your attitude and non- positive outlook about Naples and the people who live here during the season is not warranted or true.. We offer a fine unique services for them which they are willing to pay for. We are successful here because we appreciate their wealth from hard work they did in the past to achieve it. Our children and grandchildren live and thrive here. It is all about your attitude and outlook on life as to what younwill beneifit from.
You sound like a lot of those city data homers who cant see reality that comment on the message boards there a lot.
You are republican i bet
@Musty Taylor Nope.
This guy lying just to promote his business. Good job 👏 however, most of these people here are rude and horrible people and you are condoning to that which only tells me what kind of business you run
Have been here 35 years and I live cheap in a cute trailer park,but the scariest thing for me is the traffic has increased 100 fold since I first moved here,and I am fearing driving more and more.On average day out and around I pass at least one accident.When it rains,more accidents,many multiple vehicles.And they keep adding more and more lanes,with multiple turn lanes and people barrel through intersections at top speed.If I could afford to leave,it would be for this reason.If public transportation were closer to my park,and more people friendly,I would definitely opt for it.
Joan Freyre Leave
@@zoobrizz thanks for the sincere advice.
Thank you very much for your perspective! Where would you go in particular?
Another thing. this place is hell for single people. dont expect to find girl friend or wife here unless your ok with 80 plus granma
lots of gold diggers, I go into these communities and see these OLD decrepit man with middle aged women... its disgusting, and disturbing to know that people are willing to "marry" or live with someone who clearly only there for the money.
WHAT THE FUCK!?.
Not true
Michelle Batzel it is true.
@Teddy James you are right. miami is very slutty but gold diggin at highest order
My man, First of all, leaving number 3 aside for a moment, yes you are right about a lot of things and it is happening in the entire Country and almost the entire world. And I wouldn't move to Florida unless you make $100K a year as a couple or over $50k single. I know bc I lived there.
Now, I am assuming you are young..I noticed that you had a bad experience with discrimination and with wealthy people. You mention poor a lot..My friend, if you want to see discrimination you'll see it ANY where at some point in your life, including poor vs poor, rich vs rich, black vs black, Asian vs Asian, Latinos vs Latinos...In ANY Country, in any neighborhood, in the 1900's 1950's, 2000's and there will be Forever..It is part of Life. The problem with 2020's is that people don't have that thick skin anymore, we cry and bitch about everything. You can't go through life thinking you are a victim. There is good and bad in every social class, in every race, in every nationality. I am Cuban, I have hit rock bottom and I have been on top of the world, I went from a poor neighborhood to middle class to high rise and not in Miami btw but hard core American, I can't remember one single case of discrimination that happened to me, I am not saying it didn't happen, I am pretty sure it did but I don't know..because I wasn't looking for it, thinking on it or worried about it, and if it did it wasn't for too long bc I prove them wrong with my attitude. ATTITUDE is everything. Some times people are not even bad but just need someone to prove them they are in the wrong. You think you won't see discrimination in a poor neighborhood? in a black neighborhood? latino neighborhood? What you gonna do now, move to a poor neighborhood? Before you change where you live you need to change who you are or you'll be back in CZcams when you are 50 years old still complaining about discrimination and how you couldn't succeed bc of rich people. There are plenty of Rich people out there that are good people, that worked their ass off to get where they are and there are plenty of poor people out there that are bad people, that don't give a shit about anything and they'll pull you down bc they don't want you to succeed..and viceversa. You have a Talent obviously, you can talk to people and you are creative..use it to change the world. Yes, there is lot of shit that ain't right But don't be part of the Problem, be the part of the SOLUTION.
I am not thin skinned. VENTING my anger online SHOWS my determination to stand up for myself. I am not bitching I am recognizing this is NOT FOR ME> and I am ready for a new page sadly our property wont sell since is a CASH SALE.
This is a horrible comment. He is discussing his experience and here you come. Dude stop defending ridiculous anti-social, low-class behavior. Money doesn't equal better. Money equals money. Quality of life is critical because you ONLY GET ONE LIFE!! He wants to relocate as he should. I live in a suburban community in Chicago and it has been ranked the best place to live in America multiple times. People are wealthy here. I have not experienced discrimination but I am plugged and very connected yet, we have had incidents in this city that have made the news that are not pretty. There has to be consequences for poor choices. I love cancel culture because people can't continue to be bitches and think it will be ok. We are not the richest community in Illinois but we are a very well balanced community. People deserve great pay, big homes, A+ school districts. Educated neighbors. Very social.
You said it right Coach V. .and you have a point too Jose.
Moving from Colorado to Naples. Arriving on the 30th to try this city out. If you cant afford Naples and hate development, don't move to Colorado. After 20 years here. Im ready for a change. Btw, Dont forget to budget in state and sales tax if y'all plan to move to Colorado. Traffic in all hours of the day. Literally from 6am-6PM. Constant road construction, more tolls, vehicle emission laws and a higher median income. If you're not making over 100k yearly its gonna be a very tight budget for your family. Although houses are expensive it will gain equity quickly and does not sit on the market long once you sell. I'll miss the cooler weather, dry air and the mountains. Gonna try this Florida thing for a year. Cheers!
mrchris1979 my friend just moved from colorado. He was in a farm all his life and likes it here. Florida housing is cheaper you might miss the cold and hate the humidity.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS 3rd month in Naples. So far enjoying the cooler weather. Humidity is a nice change. People here seem nice. Great beach access and are generally not too crowded. My family loves Delnor Wiggins state park. Havent been to the pier much but looks like a fun place to visit. I'll be fishing out there soon.
I’ve live in Naples Born and raised growing up my family was poor but we stuck it out my step father started a AC company about 3 years ago and we work hard every day to survive here but a lot has changed it has gotten a bit more expensive to live in Naples most of the people I meet are great even though they have a substantial amount money the only people that I have problems with are the kids and teens from the rich that are very snobby and stuck up and actually treat others like crap because their mommy and daddy have money that has to stop and I can say is that I hope these parents that have worked hard for everything that you have is you make your kids work just as hard so they can be great fun and learn to respect and help people because I’m the end it’s just going to be Them and their own kids with your money
The trouble is everywhere I go, there I am, there's no escaping myself and the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
not all problems are internal. some are external
.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Well, imho some problems are from an external source. However it can only be a problem if I can not accept it.
Couldn't agree with you and your video more! I'm 5th generation Floridian, lived in Naples for 13yrs, I recently just moved, to the East coast of Fla, I will NEVER move back to Naples! People in general are just douche bags in Naples! I've lived in different cities in Florida, Miami, West Palm, but never have I ever met so many a$$holes in my life, as I did in Naples! The red tide is horrible! Get out now while you can bro! You won't regret it, I don't! The water is SO much better on the East coast of Fla, and people are WAY nicer, treat you like a human being! Even the rich people on the East coast of Fla, are WAY nicer than those toolbags!😝✌
house on the market, looking for greener pastures in FLA
I lived in Naples at the turn of the century for almost 5 yrs, back when 951 was a two-lane road, Northbound to Golden Gate, Southbound to Marco Island. The lack of adequate healthcare is what keeps me and my parents Jersey. Naples is a beautiful city the beaches are amazing, no doubt it's gotten congested, the planners dropped the ball in some areas, still, it's by far one of America's best cities.
No. Growing up in Queens NY, and Barbados... Naples, Fort Myers, Lee County in general is like this. It's VERY much a police state. Where the cops 'word' is God. Education is in the crapper. More money being spent on policing and privatization of the industry.
Only for rich white supremacists
I love your videos you're very down to Earth 👍👍😎😎
All of SW Florida is boring. The action and fun is on the East coast.
Kathleen Papaleo thank you finally someone says it. I live here and I’m so done with this area of Florida.
Joanna Tapia It's so conservative here, too. Hope you can find some fun here.
I have been there many times for work trips and thought the same. Very low energy.
Well move to the East Coast! No one stopping you.
I work in Naples and live in Ft. Myers. This guy is right about everything.
Sadly i am. people really struggling
Anyone who is not complaining about Naples is Rich.
@@patrickprendergast9589 Still working and doing okay thankfully. How are you holding up?
I lived there 20 years ago and worked at the Fresh Market and was always broke.moved away after 2 years.met a lot of guitar playing friends though.i lived on highlands drive
Equity is issue almost anywhere. Unless you live in a place that had a major plant shut down or base closure. The town I lived in is due a base closure if I would I have stayed I would lost my shirt. Moved to the Panhandle. Love it.
any recommendations for good places to see over there? we gotta head up that way soon. for our channel
When I lived there I found a lot of people were more phony. Florida in general is that way. l met a lot of people there and only had two friends. There doesn't seem to be a "friendly neighbor" attitude in most places in Florida.
Lo
true
Its like the Pacific NW with more scams. Its got a combination of phony, polite, and con artist. People are always trying to spin something especially in St Petersburg and Sarasota and now I guess Naples.
Phony, shallow, thoughtless people. After I dumped my first husband, he moved to FL where he belongs. I chose more carefully, thereafter.
Phony people are everywhere
Born here, raised here, hate it here. When my mom was a kid Naples was a small fishing village. You had to walk through the woods to get to the beach, now you walk through condos.
Joshua Roberts dead ass i cant find no good places to fish without getting kicked out
then leave here????
robbie digits your the type of person why I hate it there
I lived in Naples for 12yrs. I am not rich at all! I ❤️ed living in a city that is safe and beautiful. FYI it’s a place for retirees
Joseph LoGalbo FYI, not anymore.
You’re not kidding there!
It's safe because it's a police state
Having attained some level of fame and success myself, and having been in the Nashville music industry, being around Wynonna Judd, Marty Stewart, Kenny Rogers, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, at Moraine Music Group, and later dating the owner of Curb, I can state that the wealthy send their children to private schools, and they shop at boutiques rather than malls, noting that the speaker in this video is confusing the middle class with those of real wealth. The truly wealthy only shun the poor if they fear their moral character might be that of a criminal, otherwise, sympathy seems to be their prevailing attitude toward the underprivileged. I grew accustomed to being around the upper social class, so hearing about this seems foreign, yet since the middle class is steeped in competition, he may be right.
@@justinhiggins1214 Most wealthy towns have a higher percentage of police enforcement - the residents are willing to pay for it.
Number 2 reason is exactly why I would move there..move to Compton or east LA..
I have being in Naples for 32 years and your video in 100% right but it still one of the best places in the country to live in
still a great place to live no doubt
I am looking to move to Naples because I had a job offer that I might be taking. So, I am googling info on Naples and of course tripped over this video. I don't believe what he is saying. I know some things can be true, it's life every where. It sounds like high school all over again, blah, blah, blah. Oh and the traffic. I'm dying!!! I'm coming from Orlando. He can bitch when he lives there. So, that being said. I'm not rich, LOL. My income is honestly low, about 2100 a month. So, in reality the world considers that poor but I can live on that. What area do you think is fun, easy access to shopping (target, etc) and nice affordable apt. I don't believe in looking to heavily on the crime colored maps on Trulia.com because I live in an area that has a darker color, so I know that doesn't freak me out. So I don't know where exactly to look. I thought I would just reach out and get an opinion. Thank s for your time.
Unfortunately the part about rentals being super high it’s completely true
mannyc4791 yeah man of course it is one of the best places to live but that is not the point here what he is saying is that if you are a working class man or woman or everything in between this is not the place to stay..I’d like to have a résidence in Hawaii?? Well are you rich? Or have lot of money?No!! then you’re fucked same damm principle here you can’t expect to have a decent live working in the basics in Naples.
stacey kelly naples is nice, but not on 2,400 a month. Rent alone will be most of that. It depends where you coming from. Thats not alot to live on here
Every place has good things and bad things but Naples is definitely mostly good. You can only know that by living in multiple cities like I have. It can be expensive here for sure but there are plenty of jobs that pay enough. There is very little crime. The place is clean and beautiful. Most everyone is kind and hard workers. Traffic is not too bad, I've definitely seen worse. I've never lived in a more stress free place and I don't see me ever moving.
What kinds of well paying jobs are available for the average person?
True... live in Fort Myers and it’s getting to be just as bad! Own a home but otherwise couldn’t afford to rent. Rent went from $500 to $1,500+ a month!
As a former Naples resident this is the best video and information I have seen yet. Over development has ruined the town and same thing happening in Ft. Myers and Sarasota. SW Fl is turning into SE Fl. Even though authorities will not acknowledge I believe this is reason for water quality problems and its going to get worse. I can not imagine what Fl will look like south of I-4 10 years from now.
Jorge Fernandez its time to get out 😢
