  • "Living in the city limits has increased costs (tag on a car or golf cart, extra taxes for utilities, schools and groceries) and wind insurance is getting unaffordable (8k/year for a 3900 sq ft home!). The municipal sewer and streets are a mess and a tax payer money pit. The water is not safe...chemicals, e.coli, vibrio is high often. High cancer rates for pediatric and adults. Recent city limit “kid friendly” drag shows that are sexualizing young children. "
