RE: fla aint all that
Which State is?
If a place were perfect, everyone would live there - and it wouldn’t be perfect, anymore...
It’s a red state now. Only one Dem serves the state govt and school boards across the state voted out the Karen Dems. DEsantis keeps it red.
#11 Do not go for a swim..... CHOMP!
or CRUSHED! by a boa.
Since i lived in Florida for 45 years before moving for family reasons to western slope Colorado, Florida will always be home, even though it’s changing and getting crowded.
It’s too much like Houston which I already escaped
Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale and was even in a street scene of Where The Boys Are.
Wouldn’t change my growing up there for any other place, not only in the US but also in the world!
We went down to Florida for 10 or 12 years vacationing, with relatives. Observed many things there, compared, evaluated, local knowledge and in general got then lay of the land...my takeaway... I needed a slower paced retirement area. Plus it always felt like there was this undercurrent of felony everywhere, and the weather doesn’t suit me.
As I’ve aged, there’s three things about living in beachy areas that I don’t like salt, sand, and sunburn... it’s sort of an inside joke but there’s a lot of personal truth in that. Besides I can get that same feeling in the Carolina’s, and it’s closer.
Left in ‘97. At that time there were only three known panters in the state. Worse than the gators and pythons are the tourists. Particularly the snowbirds. Tourist season traffic is abominable. I wasn’t a retiree but I am now. Wouldn’t go back. Prefer Western North Carolina, Lake Lure area. It’s getting as bad as Florida though.

If you’re a lib... KEEP OUT
Thanks for posting.
Agreed. The article has good points and is designed for the idiot who thinks florida is perfect.
I would move to the western panhandle and inland (above route 10) where it is just empty land mostly.
“Oklahoma as the lightning capital of the U.S. Oklahoma averages 83.4 flashes per square kilometer, with Florida close behind at 82.8 flashes per square mile.”
Which is it mile² or Km²?
Nary a mention of sinkholes! Non natives be warned, like California earthquakes, a house is there one day and gone the next. Oh, it’s pieces are all there, it is just that they are disassociated and multiple feet underground.
I haven't been back much since graduating college.

Just left Florida after living there 40 years. Retired to TN.
Why? Insurance and traffic jams.
We really loved it there and it will always be “home” to me but the traffic is a nightmare - everywhere.
