It takes me 30 minutes to travel 11 miles in Ocala. That's an average of 22 mph. Meanwhile, it takes 24 minutes to travel 16 miles from where I live in the backwoods to my preferred grocery store (40 mph average), just for comparison. I hate going to Ocala for anything.

don’t get me started on 200. it’s faster to take backroads than going on there. it’s so unlivable here, the cheapest rent is just under 1k. i was born here and now that i’m of age to move out i literally cannot.

I bought an old ass house in an old ass farming area, the owners are 5 generations of farmers and won’t sell. I’ve told them lmk cause I’ll try to buy at least 10 acres around me if they do decide to sell. I fixed up my old girl and love the quiet. I moved here loving it but 42 has fatalities almost daily. Same with 25. Put up ugly cookie cutter houses that don’t last… people need to realize there’s nothing to do here. The traffic is bad. And our PD and fire department are overwhelmed so your on your own

I moved here 20 years ago, so I’m technically what they call a “transplant” around here, but I have watched everything that was beautiful about Ocala be bulldozed. It’s heartbreaking. Not to mention they aren’t replacing enough trees and keep cutting down more. Every year is becoming progressively hotter and more unbearable. The trees also take the impact of the storms. Honestly, EVERYTHING went downhill after Covid. Yes, we needed some new streets, some new businesses but we definitely didn’t need all of these cheap ass “luxury apts” or the poorly built homes, nor did we need a car wash or storage facility on every corner. It’s madness at this point and I can’t wait until I can GTFOH.

IMO We need a building moratorium for residential and retail until the vacancies are filled.

This is a country wide problem, not just Florida or the South in general. EVERY state is being torn apart because there’s too many people. We need to stop breeding, for real

But we need more car washes, smoke shops, dollar generals and over priced cookie cutter apartment complexes/ subdivisions.

Yup. I moved here 4 yrs ago, and in those 4 yrs half the land that used to be here has now been bull dozed and turned into houses or some other nonsense. Really sad.

It is so sad what is happening to Ocala. Even a lot of the horse farms are now strip malls or subdivisions. One of my favorite pieces of land on 200 is now a couple of car dealerships. 😢

I moved here when I was 17 (a long time ago) I always said it was the best kept Secret. The secrets out and this place is misery thanks to our local government.

We loved Ocala when we moved 3 years ago. I can’t wait to leave here. Absolutely unnecessary to keep putting random houses and car washes up

& what’s funny all the houses look alike because Dr. Horton is the only builder, so all the neighborhoods like Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. & yes I can talk because I was born & raised here.

When I first moved here, I didn’t wanna drive anywhere. I was terrified to. I could handle driving in LA. I could handle driving in St. Louis. I could handle driving Atlanta. But you put me here in little podunk Ocala, and it took me two months to be brave enough. It’s terrible.

Marion County makes money off all of our deaths and our families’s deaths. There’s kickbacks just think they get to have a great living while they kill our people. How does that make you feel?🤷🏼♀️
