The economy is headed south. Fuel prices are headed north.
Here in good ole' st. augustine fl. you used to be able to build a house where ever and be able to sell it for just about what-ever. Now people can't pay mortgages selling boats, condos, motorcycles for what-ever you want to buy it for. There's really not much in St. Augustine but the beach and a place to live. Everyone seems to commute to Jacksonville, some people come all the way from Palm Coast which is another 20 miles down the road, nothing but housing in that city too. It's almost scary as i've grown up here and am just playing my cards till i move (hopefully new york in a year or so) but the older I get the more I realize that everyone here seems to be trapped like lab rats. Low wages houseing becoming slowly expensive not any real job oppurtunites. It truly is a place to kick back and rest while you enjoy the latter part of your life. Just some thoughts peace....
