Lake is a tough place to be...they wanted residential growth...they got it...they wanted commercial growth...they kinda got it... They have no real industrial growth to support the people now living there! Lake relies on the Orlando metro area almost entirely for its residents to actually find professional work. Suck it, Lake!

Yeah and gas at over $4/gallon isn't helping. Central Florida needs a high speed rail to shuffle people along the I-4 corridor. That would improve Lake's situation. That could have been a reality if Jeb Bush hadn't killed it.

The Bush's have been real bad for america.

We're heading into rough times on the economic and employment front with the crash of the housing boom which was out of control. Never in my life have I seen interest only mortgages given to speculators who came to the game too late with less than stellar credit. Besides Lake County Government, The medical industry and the Villages, Lake County has no real industrial growth opportunities in the short term to handle all the displaced workers from the building trades. And throw on top of that spiraling gas prices with no end in site. Hang on if you can… we’ve got a ways to go before this one is over.
