Could you elaborate on why the people in South Florida are terrible? I was born and raised there, and I basically agree, but I’m always interested in hearing other people’s reasons for this conclusion.

So I grew up in boynton beach for 25ish years and I thought a lot of the actions here were normal. But I’ve also been able to watch common decency degrade over the years. But the easiest way for me to describe it is people are selfish, self centered, and more focused peacocking how much money they have than acknowledging anybody else. I get cut off on roads here more than driving in Boston, cars will often accelerate when they see you trying to walk across the road instead of slow down, things like that. Also, the aromatic attack of pot, cheap perfume, flavored vape pens, and body lotion when entering most stores causes me to start sneezing. It appears as though most are old angry people, or young angry people trying to show off.

From having grown up here I know the usual “locals” are quite laid back with beach fires, relaxed, and more friendly. But I feel like locals are far and few between compared to the monstrosities flooding the streets. (Old man rant over) lol.

I feel ya. Peacocking is a good way to put it. I find people in Boston to be more well rounded as well, when compared to people in South Florida. The people up here are just more interesting overall, IMO.
