The peak houses in the Fort Myers area seem to have attracted “wholesome” white families with kids who went bust with the economic crash. Kind of like Temecula Valley.

That’s what I thought about the place too. did not seem like a sustainable area given lack of jobs. I wonder what type of jobs the Hispanics have? fixing up unfinished homes? I guess when prices are low enough, folks will come?
