Anyone been to Ft Myers or Naples before all this?

My favorite memory (I think?) of Naples is how i stopped into this little "hole in the wall" cafe down near the harbor, had a plate of the most delectable (and
rich
) lasagna ever, then proceeded to hike up the aforementioned steep hills (streets) to the upper parts of the city. All that hiking burned off that rich lasagna. I felt great, lol. What a fantastic city. Would love to go back there. -

Yep, Naples is worth more than 2 visits (had been only 2 times there).
You can eat the delicious lasagna again.
Oh, you know their spaghetti certainly also…
to die for
!
I'll check if there are still so many friendly dogs running around freely.

I remember walking down in the slum district late at night… you'd run across the occasional empty oil drum being used as a fire pot, with a few random street people gathered 'round, trying to keep warm. Some images never die.

That's dangerous!
So I was told…ahem.
You know something, will re-watch that old movie now.
With a big pot of spaghetti!
Ok ok, that's not the
real
thing but leastwise some Naples' vibes.

build back differently
I like your thinking! Only problem is, exactly how do you build back differently so as to defeat a Cat 4 or 5 hurricane that may, or may not ever, hit your shores in the next 100 years?
