Hollywood, Florida might share its name with the famous Hollywood, California, but it is no way less illustrious than its well known cousin. Tucked away in the Southern tip of Florida, the city of Hollywood is on of the top ten largest cities in the state of Florida. This city is spread over an area of about eighty square kilometers and is home to approximately one hundred and fifty thousand residents. This city, also known as the Diamond of the Gold Coast, has over ten kilometers of pristine Atlantic beaches. Various fresh water bodies cover about ten square kilometers of inland area.

The city is relatively young, having being founded in 1925. However, the decades of 50s and 60s witnessed strong growth rates in economy as well as population. As of the year 2000, the city was home to real estate property valued at more than a massive six billion dollars.

As of the last census, the city population of about one hundred and fifty thousand was spread over approximately thirty five thousand families housed in sixty thousand households. A back of the envelop calculation tells us that the population density of this city is touching 2000 per square kilometer. With about 70,000 housing units spread over eight square kilometers, the real estate density turns out to be just more than 950 housing units per square kilometer.

The population consists of primarily English speaking whites- about 78 percent of the population are Whites, and for about 67% of the entire population, English is the First language. Other important minority groups in this city include Spanish speaking citizens (a touch more than 20%) and African Americans (about 12% of the entire population). The city has a vibrant social life, and that perhaps stems from that fact that the city population is relatively young. As much as 60% of the population is less than 45 years old, and the median age of the population of the city of Hollywood, Florida is 39 years.

Hollywood scores fairly high on the infrastructure matrix. The city is served by the 23rd busiest airport in US, the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The city is also home to a large number of public elementary, middle and high schools. All these factors make Hollywood a great city to live in. The economy of this city is fairly vibrant. If you have been planning to relocate to Hollywood, you will be in good company. The population of this city has grown fairly fast between 2000 and 2005, and this growth is largely attributed to the steady flow of immigrants from other regions. With its salubrious weather, vibrant civic life, low cost of living and a relatively low crime rate.

Hollywood Real Estate is precious and elegant. There are now 4,000 homes and condos for sale in Hollywood. Median price of a home in this city is about $347,000 dollars and some are priced over $3,000,000 dollars. Foreclosed properties are at an all time high as the banks readjust their adjustable rates and end a real estate boom that lasted for about three years. The no money down and 1 percent teaser rates deals are gone and so are many of the homes that were financed in this manner. Savvy investors are buying selected properties in Hollywood. The Hollywood real estate market is still thriving and will continue to grow in coming years.

Anyone who has ever suffered a breakup before knows how difficult this time can be. However, there are things you can do to help make the situation more bearable, and there are things you can do to make the situation worse. Your choice in this matter determines weather things are going to be easier or are things going to be harder for you. And – if you want to know how to get your ex back, than there are quite a few things you can do to help get your ex back and retain your sanity. I will discuss some of there right here in this article.

Step one – Understand that no matter how badly you may want to be together, at this point in time, you are not. This means there is no reason to call your ex 50 times a day just to see what they are doing, yet actually hoping to earn respect. You must give the other person a little bit of space. This means put away the ideas of acting like a stalker. Stop calling just to hear their voice on the answering machine and stop following them around. If you are engaging in any of this type of behavior, you are doing nothing more than pushing your ex away. This is generally not the goal that most people have in mind.

Step two – while giving your ex some space is a good idea, it is still a good idea to let them know you care about them. This means once you feel the time is appropriate, a simple phone call just to say hello or even a quick e-mail just to check on them is acceptable. However, keep it light, and try not to seem overly pushy. This is the time you want to prove to your ex that you are willing to change and make things better. At the same time, your ex needs their space. But in spite of that, you do not want to ignore them completely. Your goal here is striking a balance between showing you care and acting like a stalker.

Step three – Ignore your friends advice while you may enjoy your friend’s company. You may like talking to your friend about your relationship, but you alone are responsible for making the decisions that affect your relationships. This means, in many cases, ignoring what your best friend Sally says about how to get your ex back. Instead, follow what your heart tells you. This may also mean you need to ignore what your family says. For example, your family says the best thing to do would be to send your ex flowers. Now, you know that that would upset them more and make the situation worse. This would be a good time to simply tell them thank you for the advice and choosing a different way of trying to reconnect with your ex.

As you can imagine, much of what determines if you will get back together depends upon your behavior as well as your ex’s wishes. Regardless of how hard you try, if your ex really does not want to get back together, than there’s very little you can do. Nonetheless, with the right behavior and the right attitude, you have a huge impact upon how positive the experience can be, and this will eventually greatly effect your chances. It is important not to dwell on the negatives, and instead work on emphasizing the positives of your relationship. By following some of these simple tips, you should find the experience of trying to get your ex back to be much simpler.
