This gives me a really weird feeling.

The economy in Cape Coral is based on health care services, retail, and real estate/construction.

Imagine the cool mangrove park they could have had there.

I discovered this place once I was bored on Google maps and zoomed in on here by sheer luck, I was horrified.

How do they keep all those channels clean? How did they make the foundations and shit? What happen with the tides? What happen in a hurricane? What will happen the next fucking year? WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO THAT POOR CAPE? WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK

How do they keep all those channels clean?

If my experience with canals in the rest of Florida is any indication, they don’t.

I tried to do some nature walking the first time I was in FL and I had a tiny bug fly in my eye and my mouth at one point. The mosquitoes where everywhere but they seemed 10x worse when going through any wooded area. It was miserable. Couldn't enjoy it and regretted even attempting it
