Love your informative videos!! Thanks a million!!😊

It is expensive now, as is any place where folks from high-cost cities moved (with the hedge funds buying blocks of property). Fortunately for some, colleges are more affordable and getting in a good career path (i.e. STEM, business, medicine) can provide a livable wage. Even trades like electricians, plumbers, technicians provide livable wages. Pushing carts or flipping burgers, not so much (which is what I did as a student/high-schooler).

Born and raised in Orlando. Also have travled to most major cities in the U.S and I would say orlando is very mid compared to most places.

You don't sound like you're from Jamaica mon.

It’s 20 minutes to Altamonte Springs Mall

Yeah was there from 91 to 2018. Had enough of that. Ain’t the same obviously.

Wow this was a ridiculously great video. I’m in Altamonte myself. I’m glad they’re playing lake Eola, but surprised they’re trying to make it luxury when there’s a great deal of homeless ppl but it is what it is. I agree with one commenter Orlando is NOT a foodie town. I live in Seminole but it’s in Orange county’s best interest to eat the penny tax to improve living conditions lol.

😂 it’s amazing, the “problems” in Orlando are the same “problems” facing every city in the USA. Can’t discuss the elephant in the room?

The 1912 Titanic wouldn’t sink where it sunk in 2024 because there’s no more icebergs there like there was in 1912. It’s all smooth sailing. My point: ice/bergs melt in warm water. Florida is lucky if it’s 10 feet above sea level at its highest point, so when the remaining ice the world still has breaks free and starts racing to find its level like water does, the entire state of Florida will be over 200 feet underwater! If you leave you’re smart, if you stay PAY THE PRICE.

We gotta get the roads and like community centers.

Florida needs infrastructure.

Moved here 8 years ago I’m ready to go but it feels impossible to dig my way out

Best city in America? Lmao. This is the biggest joke of a video.

Well …..once I retire in 24 months, that’s where I will relocate to….

Yea it's because of democrats

Nancy 😍

The funds for infrastructure is heavily mismanaged and being abused by the Orlando gov. I would know as my family are aids to a lot of these people and the stories I hear are shocking of misappropriating funds

Three Club at Firestone

Orlando is awful i pray for those who have to suffer there

lol what good things have you heard about our airport? it's easily one of the worst in the country. good luck landing at MCO and not having to wait 2 hours on the tarmac to get a gate. good luck with delays and inefficiencies. it doesn't even have tarmac buses to shift people between gates like most other airports. MCO is quite literally terrible. a nightmare.

As a multigenerational lifer here, the more the merrier is the way forward. Only a fool would seek to prevent the inevitable further grander to come

I live in Orlando and it should not be named the best foodie city in America, a lot of food spots here are rated high because of how the food is presented, not the taste. I’ve talked to many people who were shocked because they felt the same way. There are great food spots here, but don’t be fooled

Wash rinse repeat with any growing city. There are tons of cities going through these same issues. People in Atlanta say the same thing. People migrate to get away from major metros over time. I lived in nyc my whole life so orlando is a slice of heaven to me. For those folks that have lived here and complain go move to Boise or something. Idk what else to tell you. Lol

Orlando is the best city in US. The only place with something to do. Its ok, not the best because there isn't one. Low wages though and extremely expensive but like everywhere else

Sunrail is a sham that works at the times no one uses them. I-4 seems to have more and more exits and entrances when in reality we should be limiting the access to the highway. The infrastructure needs to change but also the way we use the infrastructure needs to change.

I live in tampa and regardless of my political position with pay raises that are binded due for cost of living the penny tax may have to happen. Yes mismanagement and other-still super republican. I do hate taxes but as long as it's used for the proper strategy

Shocking! Every city has problems.

no point in living in a state if its republican and laws are segregated and lack inclusion

Florida as a whole is a terrible place in terms of wages and quality of life for the average person.

We travel to Orlando with family couple to new a year we love parks Disney etc … but honestly lately the whole Orlando became ghetto as fuk … even the tourist sites and surroundings

As a Floridian I have to say, the further away from the beach the worse it gets in any part of Florida. Orlando is the capital of all of that… Hard pass folks

I'm 50, grown up in Orlando and its a sh*t hole now! Shootings almost daily, apartments being crammed in every spot creating chaos on the roads. I can't wait to get out of this city. Democrats have destroyed this city.

Where you work is a personal choice; you don’t get to complain later. One of my best friends is a security guard at Disney, and he’s ALWAYS complaining about the pay and how he doesn’t get promoted. And this guy has a degree, and when I ask him if he’s been applying elsewhere, the answer is… no These companies also have administrative jobs, cybersecurity, risk management, accounting, logistics, etc. So it’s up to the individual to develop themselves to better their situations. You learn this concept the older you get.

Given 10% of homes should to keep the market health 8600 is way too low that just 1% of the market. Thats a three year backlog of building assuming no population growth.

Really a great video and highlights a lot of what makes Orlando and it's Metro areas such a great place to live! It was also cool to see some of the projects I've worked on included in the list of new exciting developments coming here soon.

I feel bad for the locals who are getting priced out of their own homes

Getting around in this city is a struggle. Everything is so spread out… This city needs a train And higher wages too, the cost of living is so high rn.

I’m from DC and i live in orlando now. I love orlando!

All this development…. And no pay

I miss Orlando, I’m born in Puerto Rico and at age 6 1998 I moved there. I love Orlando but it’s changing and it’s getting a little bit worse tbh,each day. And it’s true jobs out there don’t pay enough for the living environment. I lived in Boston , and went back to Orlando and I also moved to NYC about a year ago and comparing, I just miss it. My heart will always go to the city beautiful at the end of the day. Just gotta put the work in if you’re thinking about moving there. I just think it’s a disadvantage that there is barely any jobs , or at least any good paying jobs in Orlando. I’m planning to move back in the near future with the job I’m currently working with and transfer. 🎉❤

Orlando needs light rail. It was voted down by the GOP members of the Orange County board in the late ‘90s. The federal funds then went to Denver to build thier light rail system.

Funds are being mismanaged and taxation is theft.

Nobody spawned from the ground of Orlando. Nobody can complain about people moving here.

The term is "RAVE reviews", not RAVING reviews

Best city in America hah not even top 5 in Florida and I’ve lived here most of my life

Orlando sucks ass I just moved after living there since 2016. The traffic is terrible , the people are all pissed off , insurance costs are through the roof , it’s not close to the beach it’s literally smack on the middle of the state . Too many tourists it’s really annoying . The school systems are garbage . Go ahead move there I don’t care anymore I’m out

I hope Orlando Florida floods with the next super storm this year and everyone who ain’t from here, moves!!!. This place was paradise. Fishing 🎣 Hunting 🐗, and boating 🚤. Now we got a bunch of pansies floating around at Disney World, our Lakes, rivers, and beaches. Not to mention you can’t get anywhere now without it taking you 30 to 45 minutes minimum. If you weren’t here, when they was cow pastures and cowboys, you don’t belong. There I said it, long live Floridians with no flip-flops and a tank top🇺🇸 I’m not to worry Ron DeSantis is going to close the border very soon.

Dont let anyone fool you, Orlando has almost no good jobs. The market is brutal here for "skilled" work. The place has tons of amenities, food to eat, things to do but the job market is horrible. I gave up trying to work here and just went remote and thankfully was able to find something along with my wife who also works remote. We would probably have sold our place and moved if not for remote work.

There isn’t a chance in hell that ANY city in the entire state of Florida could EVER be the “best city in the United States” there isn’t a competent civil engineer in the entire state. Not ONE.

Born and raised in Orlando. I wouldn't want to raise my kids there. The 90s were a great time. It doesn't feel like home or anything else anymore. Downtown Orlando was a great place to walk and visit when I was a kid. It's just a hollowed out shell now.
