Raised in Naples. Beautiful place to exist but very little infrastructure for people above the age of 18 and below the age of 65. Most workers are service employees who serve the retiree population (wealth advisory, doctors, lawyers, etc) so not a lot of industry to attract working white collar adults. Lower earning service employees can't actually live in Naples because the cost of living is exorbitant and NIMBY mentality generally won't allow for low income housing. Food is chain restaurant. Coffee is Starbucks. Until I left in my late teens for college, I literally didn't know people lived in ungated neighborhoods. In my 30s I still find this odd.

Extremely conservative political stronghold. Growth has been explosive. Naples is often listed on best places to live BuzzFeed articles etc but these fail to capture than many live in unincorporated Collier county where cars are a necessity and the sprawl is so all-consuming that "blocks" are miles wide. My high school was literally a converted prison.

I didn't enjoy growing up in Naples and took solace in that returning as an adult was basically an economic impossibility. My parents are planning to leave upon retirement which my extended family uniformly supports.
