Just found this gem on youtube from the NBC Monitor that aired in August of 1983. Very interesting report, in my opnion.

Interesting how impartially the story was produced. Nowadays stories like this are much more one-sided. The news business in the US has lost a lot of integrity and credibility in the last 30 years.
The numbers they gave on how crime rose is pretty staggering though. I can definitely see how that ticked a lot of people off. Great video.
Fascinating. I've always been interested on how the Orlando area is what it is today just because Walt decided to put a castle in the middle of the swamp.
Florida was growing rapidly with or without WDW. Miami and other parts of Florida hundreds of miles from WDW have their share of crime.
