RE: fla aint all that
Which State is?
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.
Actually it is.
The best enticement for me is sunshine!……everything is bright and green year round.
True, the heat is less tolerable the older one gets…..
….but when I’ve spent a few months in cooler North Carolina, ( cooler, but darker)…..I can’t wait to get back to sunny Florida
I’ve lived on the Space Coast many years……..and endured at least 5 hurricanes, but I love this place called Florida……..and we have seen some amazing launches from Cape Canaveral …while standing in our front yard!
Please don’t come to Fl. We have bugs, gators hurricanes etc.
Yeah, I’m okay with this. As a long time Floridian, I’m quite comfortable sipping my coffee on the back deck with 97% humidity. When everyone north of Georgia is freezing their ass off in January, I’m enjoying a walk in the woods in a long sleeved shirt.
True Floridians migrate away from the coasts and the population centers. Real Florida is in the woods and the fields. We were, and I believe still are, one of the largest domestic producers of cattle in the US. Lots of wide open spaces here.
To dmn crowded except in the swamp.
Look at a sat view of the Orlando area. Packed in like sardines. I could never live like that.
Moved to FL 15 yrs ago, didn’t ‘retire to FL’, was born and raised in PA and I have no intentions of ever moving back. Don’t live in a gated community, thank goodness. While I miss the smell of dirt, seeing cornfields and getting cold water from the tap, I love the wildlife here, the thunderstorms (no mountains to stop them), the sky goes on forever and the people here in our area are great. There is a sign above my front door, “Northern by birth, Southern by choice”. There is a big difference between East coast and West coast of FL as well as north and south FL. Those in the south and east are have a more “city” attitude, those on the west and north have a more “rural” attitude. That’s just my observation. And I’m glad I’m on the west coast, also, the fishing is pretty good here, LOL. What I don’t like about FL are the no-see’ms and the high humidity days. But i don’t even mind the local gator or the occasional wild boar, our yard is fenced,LOL.
