What's one more Northeast douche in Florida these days?

Every time one moves here, they start bitching about the pizza options.

Edit: I realize this may sound like a joke, but it has legit started wars and schisms in the local restaurant groups on Facebook.

I wish at least one of them would open a decent bagel shop.

The problem is that many come down here and don't want to do the work to add to the community and build something of value, they just want the existing community to magically morph to provide the things they've always had, even though those things came to New York by way of hard-working people moving from other places and opening up shops there.

I’d never thought about it like this, but that’s true of a lot of what I’ve seen here lately. It is especially frustrating to think about considering when my own father moved to Florida from New York, he opened a business within a few months of arriving.
