I was blown away my Grandma got $800,000.00 for a $30,000.00 house. Cannot imagine it being 1-2 million in that area now. Crazy. Honestly I would not pay 1 million plus to live there. We had relatives on a place nearby called Sanibel Island. That is where I would live for 1-2 million. Not Cape Coral.

Thanks for so much thoughtful info. Yeah, Sanibel Island is nice. The key distinction with Cape Coral is being directly on the "river" (best), within short distance to the river with no bridges in the way (OK), merely on one of the canals with a long ride to get out and no hope with a sailboat mast (no thanks), and, finally, not even on the canal (at which point the land value is practically zero).

I don't know about the house you reference above, but in my area 60-year-old houses originally costing $26k are going for about $2MM now. The attraction is being walking or biking distance to Apple's Spaceship and Infinite Loop campuses. I pulled the plug just last week (yup I finally did it!) and so I could walk there but they won't let me in the door any more!

Could someone tell me what they think of this place?

It seems similar to what my buddy just bought in Saint Petersburg just North of that but he paid 2.3M. His is bigger, the former owner apparently raised the foundation and 'drilled down and attached it to bedrock'.

He said he's going to 'flip yachts', in his back yard haha..

They are now in the process of slowly turning my hometown into the place they ran away from.

This is happening to many unspoiled Red areas across the country.

A possible upside:

If the liberal idiots move to a majority red state, they probably won't have the numbers to change, say, the electoral college votes.

But they will be draining liberal votes from their own states.

So you can be roottiest tootiest heehawing Gun toting Jesus preaching redneck insurrection deplorable who votes for America and freedom maga!!!

Yes, they will have the numbers to change local and statewide elections. Example - Virginia and Georgia. Next, North Carolina.

And they will not be effectively draining liberal votes away from the blue states. Those states have plenty of blue in reserve, and import more every day if the form of illegals.

It is like having a metastasized cancer. Having liver cancer does not mean your lung cancer has gone into remission.

The new neighbor is complaining people shouldn't be allowed to keep sailboats in driveways. It belongs tied to the dock, why does he have a dock and park it outside, it could slide off, its could hurt someone, it doesn't look right. it's normal to see sailboats in driveways. It is part of the scenery. You also see Jet-skis and Kayaks in the yard. I wish I was there to ask him if he noticed this before he moved here and why he is complaining about it. It starts with complaining, moves to city hall, and ends up becoming a city or county regulation.

Dammit they just keep coming to Florida. First they banned vacation rentals - now this. These people have money and way too much time on their hands.

In Florida they are primarily coming from New York and California. In the past it was not uncommon to see New York license plates; uncommon to see a California license plate. Now they are everywhere.

Wisconsin is another one. The border towns still within driving range of Chicago are absolutely booming. Most are moving because they can't stand the high taxes of IL. I'd say it's a 50/50 split of R's and D's moving out, but it's skewing the overall ratio in WI to D's and really makes no impact on IL since it's so blue. At least Cook county.

So Wisconsin has been kind of purple, but I think it may swing to the consistent blue column over the next decade due to limousine liberals moving up there from IL. Madison and Milwaukee also have a lot of blue power too. Most of the state is redneck red though. And most the state is rural. There's just not enough of them to counter 200 home subdivisions at the border being filled with blue voters.

Sad really. Basically 2 WI cities dictate national elections and state wide elections. Cities are ass hoes.

Find me an example of this, because I'm stumped. Have yet to see a blue state flip red due to out migration.

I can't think of one. IL is not going red anytime soon, but they're heading into Wisconsin in droves and IL will stay blue because Chicago's large black and hispanic population. Much of the hispanic population is illegal as well.

I worked in housing for about 13 or so years and I'd guess that 80-90% of all hispanic laborers were all illegal. Might not be as high now as some younger guys born here from an illegal, might actually be naturalized citizens having been born here. ICE could walk up to any Chicago construction site and for sure hit 50% of Mexicans as illegal. No one wants to do anything about it. Chicago also has a huge Puerto Rican population (Humbolt Park) and you have to be careful accusing a light brown person of being a citizen or illegal as people from PR are citizens.

2nd biggest retail corridor in Chicago is Little Village on the Southwest side. 26th St is 2nd to the Magnificent mile (Michigan Ave) as far as retail goes. 90%+ hispanic Mexican and likely 1/4-1/2 illegal. That's why Chicago allows it. Huge revenue generator so they turn a blind eye to it. All about money and politics.

Nothing worse than being a Florida obstetrician giving birth to babies covered with swamp dirt clods:
