Can you say, "Overpopulation" ??

When I was a kid in WPB (admittedly longer ago than I care to define). there was lots of water in all of Florida, too damn much water as a matter of fact. That was prior to the Condo-ing of the entire state by land moguls and investment houses in the 70's. 80's, 90's and onward.

You may not have known this prior to taking up residence there, but the water supply does not actually increase as more people move in and build homes in a given area, no matter where you are.

I would not choose to live in Florida today for any reason.
