Well, I was wondering if the whole scandal involving now Former Mayor Christensen who resigned about a week ago should be included and the fact that she stole over $3000 from her supporters campaign donations as well as her resignation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.233.208.90 ( talk) 03:15, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Being a PSL resident I have never heard that nickname, or the motto for that matter. Please site them, or I'll remove them. Casey14 15:58, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
I removed this statement: "PSL is a hurricane magnet". Don't believe "hurricane magnet" is official weather terminology, and there is no evidence that this particular part of the southeast US coast is hit more often than Miami, Cape Hatteras, New Orleans, Galveston, etc.
The rest of the climate section is similarly unencyclopedic, e. g. "It is also 95 degrees outside". All summer long, at all hours of the day and night? Surely the temperature is sometimes higher or lower. Mean highs and lows for the various seasons would be more appropriate. Unimaginative Username 03:33, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Image:Port St. Lucie Official Seal.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I believe that the map is obsolete due to the Tradition Community west of the I-95 interchanges of St. Lucie West Blvd., Crosstown Expressway, Gatlin Blvd and Becker Rd.. -- cypherninja ( talk) 01:57, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
I checked out the references sited in this article. Four of them are currently not working, likely due to link rot. Also, the fact that all of the references are online web sites could definitely be improved. Both a book and documentary covering PSL history were released in April of 2011. I am going to check through both of them and see if they could give this article a good overhaul in information. Also, has the PSL historical society itself been consulted about this article? They have only recently digitized some of their records, and even more exist at their office. I believe their web site is a valuable tool, but it should not be the only one. Hard-copy sources are critical in keeping facts legitimate in Wikipedia in my opinion. I plan to see if expanding this article (mainly the history section) is practical with the new resources that exist today. TimJames4131 ( talk) 22:59, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Using the 1981-2010 normals and the Koppen definition of tropical, which mainly just calls for every month having an overall average of at least 64, Port St. Lucie falls short by just 3 degrees, at 74 and 51 in January, averaging 62 degrees, though this is very basic and may not take into account the actual daily temp curve. By the 1991-2020 normals it will probably reach the tropical threshold, with numbers of about 75 and 53 for Jan, if not higher. B137 ( talk) 23:47, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
The article claims that Port St. Lucie incorporated in 1961, but the infobox says "1903". Neither are properly sourced. Ryoung122 21:08, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
The question of whether Port St. Lucie is in the South Florida region needs to be resolved here. Please refrain from further edits on that topic until a consensus is reached here. - Donald Albury 13:41, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
Watermelon Farmer99 ( talk) 13:54, 4 November 2018 (UTC) Port St. Lucie is in the South Florida region, here is an article that also states that the City is the eight largest in the State and third largest of South Florida. http://www.cityofpsl.com/Home/Components/News/News/3468/1749 You can find this in the section titled "About the City of Port St. Lucie".

Please remember to sign your posts. Also, that is an opinion and they have nothing to do here and it isn't geographically located at the same "height" as Tampa along Florida as it is about 40 Miles north. Honestly I confused why the moment I make a change to a Wiki then everyone hops on it like it is a hot topic. How can you back these topics such as your claims that it is a different area? How can you say "nobody counts Port Saint Lucie as being a part of South Florida" when there are local restaurants etc. with the businesses and companies titles including the term "South Florida" take one look at Google and you will find many local businesses that include the term South Florida in their name. So there ARE people that consider it "South Florida". I am not even going to care beyond this point because I try to do one good deed by refreshing the Wiki and then all of a sudden people hop on topic and decide that they are going to play the role of the expert and that their all knowing and keep reverting changes of other without even a moments thought. Here is just one example of a local business I had found in Port St. Lucie that had the term "South Florida" in the name. Check out "South Florida Lawns" in Port St. Lucie they are a local company and why would they include this in their title if they thought different.
The issue of whether the Port St. Lucie metropolitan area includes Indian River County has arisen. I haven't really looked hard, but I am currently aware of only one reliable source for defining a metropolitan area for Port St. Lucie, the list of Metropolitan Statistical Areas defined by the OMB and used by the Census Bureau for population numbers. The source at [1] includes all creations of and changes to MSAs and CSAs up to 2020, and the entry for the Post St. Lucie MSA does not show Indian River County ever being part of the MSA. The Sebastian-Vero Beach MSA, consisting of Indian River County, was first defined in 2003. This map from March 2020, shows Port St. Lucie and Sebastian-Vero Beach as separate MSAs. There is nothing in the history I have found so far to indicate that Indian River County was ever a part of the Port St. Lucie MSA. I have to go do RL now, but I will look later for any history of a possible Port St. Lucie-Sebastian-Vero Beach Combined Statistical Area. Donald Albury 14:30, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
I have found that there was indeed a Port St. Lucie-Sebastian-Vero Beach Combined Statistical Area in 2007 through at least 2010. OMB Bulletin 13-1 (Feb. 28, 2013) lists the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Port St. Lucie CSA, which includes the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach MSA, Okeechobee Micropolitan Statistical Area (μSA), Port St. Lucie MSA, and Sebastian-Vero Beach MSA. The Port St. Lucie-Sebastian-Vero Beach CSA is not listed in that bulletin. It thus appears that the Port St. Lucie-Sebastian-Vero Beach CSA was defined in 2007, and was removed from the list sometime between 2010 and 2013, presumably when the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Port St. Lucie CSA was defined.
I think it is obvious that the OMB and Census Bureau constitute reliable sources for St. Lucie and Martin counties being in the "Port St. Lucie Metropolitan Statistical Area". The "Port St. Lucie-Sebastian-Vero Beach Combined Statistical Area", which included St. Lucie, Martin and Indian River counties, was used for only about eight six years, and was dropped ten years ago. I will also note that the population cited in the article for the "metro area" only inlcudes St. Lucie and Martin counties.
So, the question is, what constitutes the "Port St. Lucie metropolitan area"? Are there other reliable sources besides the OMB and Census Bureau that define a "Port St. Lucie metropolitan area"? How much weight should we give to a CSA definition that was used for only eight six years, and dropped ten years ago? -
