[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I may hate the politics around Naples, Fl, but I have to say that it seems everyone around the Vanderbilt Beach area is super nice to my mom, who lives alone now that my dad has passed. Of course, most of their neighbors are also from the DMV, which probably helps. (And there are a fair number of never-Trump conservatives to balance out the rabid crazies.)[/quote] My MIL lives in Naples (she used to live just off of Vanderbilt Beach Rd near the beach!) and I agree it's a friendly place with a lot of positives like restaurants, beaches, shopping. We never saw ourselves as "Florida people" yet we love visiting her and spending time down there. Very easy access to Naples from Ft Myers airport, which is a nice airport but small enough that you're not on trams or a million moving walkways...you can walk to the rental cars! Southwest flies to there regularly (at least from BWI, DCA is more seasonal) and in an emergency we were easily able to drive on Alligator Alley to Ft Lauderdale to catch a flight back north. Yes, there are some political people who skew far one way in Naples but I think it's slowly balancing out as liberal people like my MIL and her friends move in. She's also found some good volunteer work that she can still do virtually right now because of Covid. Honestly if we could go live anywhere in the US, Naples would be up there as a choice.[/quote]
