People need to seriously look at West Virginia for retirement. I've already scouted properties in rural Kanawha County.

WV has some of the cheapest housing and land in the country. Plus, it has spectacular scenery, mild winters, close to everything.

I think there are a lot of shysters in Florida.

I lived in Florida. I don't like extreme heat and humidity and the salt in the air (near the beach) rusts vehicles and guns. Even stainless guns.

And the bugs. For bugs, it's bug heaven. They used to bats, but the skeeters 'et 'em all.

Each to his own.

I don’t think property tax is lower. And auto insurance is $$$.

Others are pulled away from Florida due to the extreme heat and rising temperatures. For example, July 2023 was the hottest month on record for Miami

It's not the heat, it's the freaking humidity...

Palm Bay?
Surely they joke
It’s over crowded……
….not well planned communities
High traffic
Certain areas very run down

The number one reason for me is sand crunching in a sandwich.   The number two reason for a blue eyed, naturally melanin deficient old man like me is skin cancer.

we thought about Florida for a minute- snakes, gators, bugs too hot all the time and frankly, after a certain age, people need to rethink their “summer attire” game.
Can’t be covered up all the time but some of them should be.

Ten months a year you can’t step outside for more than five minutes without self immolation. The property taxes and homeowners insurance (if you can find it) are more than your mortgage. You’re never more than fifty yards from a gator, so only insects enjoy the many lakes. There’s people everywhere. That new influx of twenty three million people in 2022 doesn’t go unnoticed (in the next ten years Tampa and Orlando will merge). Traffic on I-4 between the two cities moves at 20mph at six AM on Sundays. Did I fail to mention Florida Man and Florida Woman.

I was just up in Maine visit a relative, never saw so many fag flags in my life. Hanging from churches, businesses etc and signs with rainbow stickers on businesses stating they welcome everyone. Totally disgusting.

Well, I am retired military. I have lived in WA state, GA, KY, TN, SC, NC and my home state of Alabama. I have spent nearly 10 years stationed in West Germany. I spent a tour in Nam. Had three weeks in the hospitals in Japan. Have visited a ton of countries in Europa. After all that, after settling in WA state for 14 years after I retired from the Army, we came back home. I was gone for 35 years. Left at age 18 to enter the Army. But, in the end, there just was no place like Alabama. We are the most conservative and Christian state in this Republic. There are jobs, as unemployment is lower than 4% last I heard. There is hunting and fishing galore. You can drive easily down to Fla or the AL gulf coast to the beach. If you like mountains, then the North GA mountains and TN are near. Home prices are low. There are good hospitals with UAB hospital in Birmingham, centered in the middle of the state. You can own guns. Thre is nothing like here. FREEDOM of speech, religion, peace. After all that moving and laying my head down to sleep in so man places, here is where I finally came back to for the last years of my life. Home is here and here I will now stay.

“Changes in Florida law and state policies have also caused some Floridians to relocate. For example, former Miami Heat basketball player Dwyane Wade, who spent 16 years playing for the Florida-based team, recently left the state with his family due to legislation and restrictive policies regarding the LGBTQIA+ community.”

REALLY? All 4000 moved out wow!
