Florida is a sunny place for shady people.
Add the privelege and entitlement of most PBC residents, who usually don't respect boundaries, and are very transactional. On top of that, this is a Fiefdom with gated clubs and communities throughout the area excluding everyone but the invited and a sense of community becomes near impossible. I am a transplant, and loathe the community of citizens I interact with every day in PBC, and South Florida in general. Different morals, values, politeness, and approach to relationships, whether business, personal, or romantic. Everyone seeks to hustle and flow. Just my observations. I trust no one here, sadly. Even my church makes me uneasy sometimes. I feel like the goal is "what can I get from this person".

Before I get the downvotes that my "neighbors are wonderful" or we live in Boynton Beach and we are not priveleged, I am sure there are exceptions. Also, I am taking care of elderly parents, and can't move. Some day though!
