- Up north got buried in an epic snowmageddon so we thought we would make a video with the top 5 worst things about Key West and let y’all know that it’s not all sunshine and rainbows down here. Happy thanksgiving!
Grew up in Key West, a 5th generation Conch, and my #1 for worst things about living in Key West was some greedy locals and rich ppl from up North taking over the island, telling Conch families if we didn't like the way things were changing (making it a tourist town for the rich and drunk with prices rising so high made it impossible for Conchs to live in Key West)that they didn't want families there anyway, so we should move to the main land... a letter from the editor of a local newspaper was actually printed in the newspaper telling us to leave about 20-25 yrs ago. Sadly, greed won which is why you won't meet many true Conchs (people's whose ancestors were apart of those back in the 1800's to build Key West) living in Key West anymore. It USE to be a beautiful family island with no cruise ships or rude/drunk rich tourists all year long (nor noisy/messy roosters/chickens) and affordable living for those that worked on the island. Y'all will never know what an amazing beautiful place Key West use to be when it was mostly Conchs on the island.
I can imagine!
So true,I was TOLD during bike week motorcycle,s....we had gone down to Capt Tony's to relax and talk to him about nothing when he was mayor 😳😁..he would always let us bring my 3 year old daughter inhe would carry her around like a grandpa... some idiot told him Key West Florida was no place for kid's. Yep you are so right it WAS a great place to live. You remember when the locals were going to try to block the road up above 18 mile stretch and make it the Couch Republic 😲👍👍
Yeah I noticed there was a problem with housing for the "worker bees" in key west. Most, if not all have more than one job just to afford to live. The city should've taken notice and built affordable housing somewhere just for the local workers IMO. Otherwise, who's gonna serve all those wealthy people their food and drinks, if the locals can't afford to live there anylonger?
Can't stand leaf blower noise also!!
You should know that ''guy'' mosquitoes don't bite. It's the ''gal'' mosquitoes that bite!
Sounds like you're describing Daytona Beach....😁
Never move to a tourist town
The hispanics love the leaf blowers!
I just got back from a week in Key West, and the first thing I said was "The City needs to BAN leaf blowers." I could not enjoy a couple days of my trip because of the incessant noise. STOP.
And just want to say I enjoyed watching your video one thing I enjoyed about it is all the five things you mentioned is like what I see up here in Wisconsin timeout drunk drivers rude people and billions I'm talking billions of mosquitoes wanting to eat you alive and when I was down in key West anywhere from the panhandle down to key West I've never seen one mosquito and I literally stayed in Weston Florida right across from the Everglades and still never got bitten so I would have to go down there again to check things out but I never got bitten by mosquitoes rude people come to Wisconsin they are rude and mean in Wisconsin they like to get drunk pretty soon I'm coming back to key West it's a lot of fun down there in key West see you soon
I’m from Minnesota and the mosquitoes are way worse there than in Florida. I’ve lived in Tampa area, and Ocala. And spend a month every year in key west. Barley ever get bit in Florida, even at night I’m fine. Minnesota in the summer you will get eaten alive in the summer after sundown. I’m sure Wisconsin is the same from what I remember going to the the Dells and the spooner river when I was younger. I’ll never go back north. I hate the cold and snow with a passion.
I would think that some of the other areas north of Key West might be more enjoyable and not have the cruise ships and all of the rude locals and drunks and maybe less bugs, but you can get bug killers for your house! Key West is still very beautiful place to visit!
THis is the first time i heard someone say they wanted less views. Being so honest, will make people like you even more though :)
Even more WHAT?
we never had a mosquito issue when visiting, but the no see ones, yeah they got me good
Electric leaf blowers would fix the noise.
Mosquitos and no-see-ums are attracted by the noise of leaf blowers 🤣 And of course, salt shakers.
We run a bug zapper Flowtron UV mosquito attractant lamp 24 hrs a day here in NE Florida, its killed thousands of bugs. We wouldn't be without it.
Get Bug Soother spray. Easily the BEST no se um repellant out there and its no chemical and it smells good.
Avon SsS never helped me but Deep Woods insect repellant worked for me. Agree with everything ends you shared!
1st world problems folks. Check out how they’re living in Oakland and Philadelphia these days. Key west is still awesome, my favorite place in the states.
You’re not wrong!
In 62 years I was never once bit by a bug
BS
Mosquitos are not bad. Live in areas they do not spray, that is not fun. Live in Maine in the wilderness or maybe in the Florida Everglades, not fun as well. Key West is luxury spot to not get bitten, I have been there almost 100 times. Also, been in south Florida 20 years, had one Cat 3 and one Cat 4. The chance over 20 years is .003% getting hit based on that. And that is all of south Florida, west and east coast. I know insurance companies like to talk how bad it is, and also social media will spin it like it your living in a very high risk area. But no, it really isn't. It does however is not good when you get a bad hurricane, but people survive.
How to be homeless in the keys tips would like
English, please.
No matter where you go there will be likes and dis likes ' each couple , or person or family will have to try Key West Florida to see if they like or enjoy it that is the only way to find out via boots on the ground.
