what is going on everyone how's the
world treating you I hope good how about
we sail on over to the Sunshine State
and take a look at the city of Tampa did
you know that more than half the people
in this country think the city is called
Tampa Bay Florida when in fact it's just
Tampa Florida Tampa Bay is the name of
the bay in which the city sits on along
with st. Petersburg Florida and MacDill
Air Force Base at a next-door neighbor
that was stationed there for like three
years he said it was the most amazing
place to be stationed he always referred
to it as like the best three years of
his youth Tampa is a great city I
haven't been there since I was in my
late 20s but I hear it's still great but
you know even though it's great it is a
big city and you know like all big
cities it's gonna have its problems
Tampa Bay has just under 400,000
residents and when you figure in the
whole metro area it's about 2.5 million
Tampa was incorporated in December of
1855 and then again in July of 1887 I
guess the first one didn't take or they
wanted a second grand opening or
something I don't know Tampa is one of
those cities that people always want to
move to especially if you're in the
hospitality industry or you're a pirate
you have a big pirate festival every
single year there it's in January so
that kind of tells you how cool their
weather is that you know they can hold a
festival like that in January and if
you've ever been to a pirate festival
women wear next to nothing so that's
kind of hard to pull off in Minnesota in
January you know if you're a pirate
looking for a place that may be more
tolerant of your lifestyle choices
Tampa could be your new home but before
you go you should watch my top 10
reasons not to move to Tampa Florida
number 10 not for retirees despite the
overwhelming number of retirees in Tampa
many will argue that the city just isn't
the place for them and they belong in
other cities like Sarasota or Clearwater
this is because during the summer and
spring break
Tampa like Miami is a very popular
location for partygoers and the retirees
are very local about not being fans of
the young people you know there's
nothing worse than going to get the
early bird special at the local diner
and some punk his parked is Jeep in your
parking spot you know the parking spot
you use all the time he's there and it's
making you mad there he is just hanging
out with all those 20 year old college
girls wearing almost nothing nobody
wants to see that actually well
nevermind forget what I just said it's
great for retired men with solid heart
medication Gina I think we're moving to
Tampa number nine public transit tamp is
not the place to go if your public
transit commuter according to the Tampa
Bay Times out of 30 of the largest metro
areas Tampa ranks 29th in public transit
coverage and usage I think they only
beat out chair Noble the bus system is a
nightmare and that's a description by
the locals there's no real light rail to
speak of you need a car or a good pair
of shoes if you live in Tampa or work
from home that's always an option number
eight speed traps so depending on what
side of this you're on it's either
genius or dick move they have crappy
public transit so everyone drives and
they pretty much lead the state and
speeding and other traffic tickets Tampa
is known within the area for their speed
traps
it's like legendary officers take pride
in their ability to catch speeders and
opt and brag about it so be aware and
slow down now
it sucks if you drive but it's a great
source of revenue for the city so that's
why I say it's either genius or dick
move
I vote dick move number seven housing
housing in Tampa can get tricky rent and
home prices are typically higher the
closer you get to the water which is why
the average rent is six percent higher
than national average
if it's not going to kill you not to
live directly on the bay go a handful of
blocks in and you'll see a giant drop in
price like all places that have
oceanfront property but reality compared
to other cities that are on the shore
like this this isn't terrible unless of
course you're coming from someplace that
doesn't have an ocean or in this case a
bay attached to a Gulf to them these
prices are crazy I grew up at a beach
town south of Los Angeles and our prices
were frickin ridiculous number six it's
dirty the city of Tampa is just plain
dirty and the air pollution doesn't help
it seems as though there's trash
everywhere in Tampa no one here knows
anything about recycling which is why
the pollution index is 49 percent worse
than the national average now it is
deceiving when you visit in the tourist
areas they do a great job of making this
city spark leave those areas and it
looks like a bunch of pirates live here
number five Tampa Bay now this isn't one
of those things that you wouldn't move
to a place because of and I know I also
know that that was a double negative so
stop typing this is just something you
should know if you want to piss off your
neighbors call the city Tampa Bay
instead of Tampa like I said in the
beginning there's a lot of you out there
Tampa is a city Tampa Bay is the bait
referring to the city as Tampa Bay
Florida instead of Tampa Florida really
gets under their skins and they will
tell you about it number four it's bad
for your skin
Tampa's in Florida Florida is known as
the Sunshine State sunshine in excess is
bad for your skin Tampa has a lot of
sunshine and a lot of people that have
skin and a lot of that skin looks like
beef jerky and they're only thirty years
old
wear sunscreen and use lotion if you
have small kids you need to be on top of
this try em lactam now I suggested one
before but it's not everywhere my friend
that's an esthetician she says em lacked
in is everywhere every drugstore you go
to you'll find it and its really good
she said now I'm a big advocate of this
because I grew up in sunny California
and myself and some friends have had
some problems with Sun damaged skin as
we got older don't be a bad or lazy
parent lotion your kids up and use
sunscreen number three the heat Tampa's
hot heat is a byproduct of all that
sunshine I was just talking about in the
winter of the weather rarely drops below
the 60s while in the summers it can get
into the triple digits without a problem
to make matters worse the humidity here
is always very high the good news is
you'll never have to shovel your
driveway if you do you're on drugs
that's not snow stop shoveling number
two
it smells the city of Tampa stinks a
majority of the time especially in warm
weather which is most of the time in
Tampa the biggest problem is the export
of phosphates which is used in creating
fertilizer in other words the city
smells like manure most of the year if
you're from a dairy farm you'll feel
right at home for the rest of us it
takes some getting used to
and number one natural disasters Tampa's
no stranger to the occasional natural
disaster
over the last decade Tampa has
experienced multiple disasters including
hurricanes floods tornadoes and
sinkholes when hurricane herma went
through a couple years back it drained
Tampa Bay look at this picture those
people should be underwater
it's really weird make sure your
homeowners or renters insurance covers
these you really should ask if you've
never felt like you needed renters
insurance you do especially in Tampa
natural disasters are scary normally a
place might be prone to one or two
different types Tampa gets all of them
but blizzards pretty much and that's
kind of a reason you might not want to
move to Tampa all right so that's my top
ten reasons not to move to tamp I hope
you guys enjoyed it I'll be out some
information out of it Tampa really isn't
a bad city if you notice things like
schools crime and unemployment didn't
make this list they make it on almost
every single one of the videos I do
about cities or states they just have
some things that some people might not
like and if they're thinking about
moving there that's what this video is
all about like I said I hope you guys
enjoyed it everybody have a great day
be nice to each other
