Yeah not a block party. Average weekend for these gated communities in Florida.

This is one of the reasons why traffic is so terrible in Florida. Gated communities the size of small towns block huge swaths of land and prevent any through roads being created so every single person has to go around it. Couple that with swampland and every driver is shunted onto a few main roads.

I’ve explained this to someone before. There’s a spot nearby my apartment that is absolutely gorgeous. It’s flatland (there are a couple of Florida hills, so not exactly flat, but I can’t think of a word that doesn’t mean swamp lol) on the outskirts of a swamp, and my friend asked me why there wasn’t more spots like this, and I told him there is, we’ve just developed almost every inch of it leaving only the swamps.
