This area is by far the worst area in the state of Florida. The crime is high and people die everyday. Me and my family were lucky enough to get out before things got even worse. Houses are being vandalized everyday and windows are being broken. The residence that have lived in this area their entire life keep to themselves and stay inside because they don't want to get hurt or involved in any type of crime. Growing up in the area was horrible but it was the only thing my family could afford at the time.
