In the past 4 years I and a few other members of my family & extended family have moved from west central FL to the mountains of NC & north GA. We’ve all had it with the crowding, the traffic, the humid heat and the %#*! palmetto bugs in the sunshine state.
I totally understand your post. There’s a reason I live where I do, and traffic is one of those reasons. I don’t think I can get used to it. It used to be left for bigger cities like Houston, Dallas, and Atlanta. Now, it seems like it’s everywhere.
