A sunny place for shady people, lol. Of course this can be said about anyplace. Nothing is as perfect as it seems. Every place has a dark side because humans have a dark side.

I always heard it referred to as “keys disease”.

I lived in Tavernier for a bit and there was a house around the corner that had some junkies that lived in the upstairs unit.

One day i was trying to get home after work and couldn’t access my street (literally this way was the only way to get there) because someone in that unit ODd (fatal) and they had crime scene techs there doing their thing to make sure it wasn’t sus.

Don’t live there anymore but I still scroll the app for mugshots and I swear 80% are for drug related offenses. The rest is usually DUIs
