Native Ocalan says city was great ‘before all these people moved here’

To the Editor:

Nancy Neal needs to realize and accept she is part of the problem. She is one of the many that have driven up the prices of homes, created a need for housing and therefore those with land are capitalizing on the opportunity. As she would if she owned a piece of land. Was she concerned about the environment and wildlife when she moved here? No. She was concerned about her own wants.

Think about us natives and those who have lived here for decades. We hate all of this growth. We didn’t ask for this. We were happy before all these people moved here. Those with the land are lucky they could get enough money to go somewhere else and get away from this new Orlando/Tampa/St. Pete.

Nancy Neal, you and others have ruined my birth state forever.
