When I look at the crime rates in Orlando its a 10 out of 10, meaning as bad as it gets in America

But everyone I ever met from Tampa has told me its a bad city, ugly and dangerous. I've never heard one person say 1 good thing about Tampa.
So which city is worse?
If you were going to live in a decent sized city in the middle of florida where would you pick? |
Depends entirely on where in those cities you're looking. I've been to some amazingly great places in Tampa and some pretty shitty ones, too. Just like Orlando.
Are you looking at Orlando itself or the surrounding cities? Same for Tampa. EG: I prefer St. Pete to Tampa even though I do like Tampa, and prefer some of the less-touristy bits around Orlando to Orlando.
The weather will be nicer in Tampa vs. Orlando, though -- Orlando's about an hour's drive inland, while Tampa's right on the water. Having been to both cities in the same day only an hour apart (as it's only an hour drive on I-4 to get from one to the other), Tampa's nicer, cooler weather. And you don't have Disney/Universal tourists there.
Dehash, you worked on OBT and lived to tell the tale?!?!?!
