Venice Florida Vs. Naples FL

Venice is like Naples but affordable and quiet. I grew up in Naples in the 1970's and 80's. Naples was a quiet and beautiful town that hugged the coast. People were proud to live there. Now, it's crowded and arrogant. It's over priced and in my opinion has become the opposite of what made it such a draw for people wanting to live on the gulf coast. Venice still is quiet, quaint, and the residents are not arrogant but proud to live here. The people are friendly and interesting. Like Naples you are close to the beach anywhere in town. The only difference is it doesn't take 25 minutes to go 5 miles. See Collier county and Sarasota county developed at the same time. The difference was Collier county, where Naples is, kicked the door open and said if you want to build and can, you can build it here. "We'll figure out everything else later" Including the roads. Now they are trying to add roads as much as possible to tame the traffic. Venice, being part of Sarasota County was planned and development was forced to take a more steady pace in Sarasota County. The results is a much better traffic system in or out of season. A much more pleasant driving experience and happier visitors and residents. The downtown has a main street. Just like Naples. If you haven't had a chance to check out Venice Florida and are thinking of having a home here, I highly recommend you put it on your list.
