We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
A city where the typical home costs well north of half a million dollars and homeowners insurance in Florida can run five figures. Even the grim reaper checks his 401k balance twice before moving here.
From roughly 19,000 year-round residents, the population balloons every winter as snowbirds return. It's like living in a retirement home that transforms into Spring Break for people who complain about their grandkids' music. Restaurants require reservations especially on weekends, US 41 traffic slows to a crawl - paradise with a side of geriatric road rage.
Naples is famous for having more golf holes per capita than anywhere else in the country, with courses packed in like parking spaces at a Publix. Because nothing says "I've made it" like paying a small fortune to complain about sand traps in a state that's literally built on sand. It's hobby hoarding for people who peaked at their country club back in Ohio.
Even the wealthy are grumbling - What started as a refined retirement haven is now packed with snowbirds, endless construction, heavy traffic. When your own millionaires start daydreaming about selling up and finding a quieter beach town where they can actually enjoy the sand instead of fighting crowds to get to it, you know you've jumped the shark fin.
