I’ve had it both ways, and I was never happier than when I was living in Brooklyn, with access to excellent public transit and lots of walking-distance community support.
And, believe it, or not, my cost of living was half the price to living in Orlando, with a car. Also, I made more when living in Brooklyn. also, Orlando sucks.
Have been to Orlando once. Can confirm. It sucks. The residents suck. The commercialism sucks. Plus there are tiny lizards everywhere, and you don't want to step on them, but you're like "c'mon little guys, I just want to walk on the sidewalk. I don't want to crush you....but you DO crush them if you walk on the sidewalk. It's inevitable. And then you feel bad.
I have lived in Tampa for my whole life without ever stepping on a lizard. Yes they are all over, but they aren't running underfoot. I don't like Orlando, so haven't spent much time there but the lizards can't be that different.
I once (before cell phones put a video recorder in our pockets) saw an epic battle between a lizard and a palmetto bug. They were wrestling, same size as each other, thankfully the lizard eventually won. It was like a miniature version of a Godzilla fight.
Must’ve been a small palmetto bug
Anoles. They're everywhere. But don't feel bad, they often drop their tails to evade predators, and also they don't live long enough to really understand what's going on with these giants walking on their basking rocks lol.
This is nuts. I lived in Orlando for half a year, and have visited dozens of times (grew up in Tampa Bay) and never once stepped on a lizard there. Genuinely don't know what you're talking about. Lizards are all over but they're not suicidal
