Amazing film!!! I want to invest in lehigh but as an investor I am worried. I currently own my own house in Canada. I'm 27 years old. Canadians are told that this is an amazing opportunity and I have 4 friends who have had their parents buy vacation homes in Florida.

I just had a chance to watch this movie, and I thought it was amazing. I was born and raised in Lehigh, and by the time I was 22 years old, had a modest truck I was making payments on, and a decent house with a reasonable rent. By October of 2008, I was unemployed and living in my truck in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart on Lee Blvd. I would love to see this film openly distributed via BitTorrent in its entirety. May I offer it?

@walker9898, no what I was saying was just repeating what our tax collector Charlie Green had said in the movie. Did you watch it? I was calling Tax Collector Charlie Green a racist for having blamed all the construction workers for the crime. Maybe you didn't see that part of the movie.

It was a rotten thing for him to say.

Well done! I live in Lee County. Most construction workers weren't a problem, of course, but many of them were transients who blew much of their salary on drugs and alcohol, prostitution, and gambling. My Grandmother managed a store around hotels in North Ft Myers that housed these guys, and crime was rampant. When the boom ended, they left, and the area is now quiet. It's not a stereotype, it's just a fact.

@qamarnahaar - Thanks for watching and commenting! Be sure to pass the film onto your friends; it'll help spread the word bigtime.

A stunning and true tale for those of us caught in the grip of this tragedy. I am a 30 year Lehigh Acres resident and have seen my small family oriented town transformed into an endless treadmill of greed and despair. And now even before the final dust has settled, yet again the vultures (investors) have found countless new opportunities to capitalize on the losses of the fallen.

Dreams for Sale. Dreams for Sale. Nothing left but Dreams for Sale.

wtf Charlie Green? Blaming all the construction workers for the crime? Wow is that ignorant or what?

And Gary but correct if I'm wrong but you got elected by the very people who can't afford their mortgages for buying your homes from your construction company. How many of your buyers lost their homes and also voted for you?. Duh...wow.

What a spectacle. The very notion that either of these two have anything useful to contribute other than furthering their own private interests is obnoxious.

[walker8989]
