Being from the north, I've heard & believe that block construction is better than frame for withstanding hurricanes. Your opinions? Thanks!
I had both. I find the block to be MORE maintenance. The bigger thing is the view and neighborhood. I left Citrus Grove for the view - only. I bought in Newell instead of Richmond BECAUSE of the proximity of the great people of Citrus Grove. But I will say the retail and construction issues are still meaningful - but improving.
