the south east part of my state has always been a joke due to the north easterners moving here.
They move here looking to escape their hell hole only to make their new place look like what they were escaping, frigging idiots.

Hopefully that part of the state is now changing and less snowbirds from N.E and NY,NJ ,MD stop moving here

I grew up in Coral Springs, FL, my folks moved there in 1971, I am a UF grad and we never heard Spanish unless we were down below Miramar. The demographics have definitely changed there, for the better I think. Definitely a migration of NE corridor drones during the 1960's,70's and early 80's but like me and my family we moved back up north when the great housing bubble of the early 2000's hit and we found housing prices unaffordable. Lots of the kids of the snowbirds are moving back to Philly, Suburban NYC, NJ and Long Island. I left there in 2004 and never looked back, the oppressive 9 month Summers, the bugs, the high taxes, the flaky people, the traffic. At Thanksgiving we used to have 25 people around two tables at my Grandma's house in Pembroke Pines. Now we have only 1 person, my Mom still down there. The rest of us scattered to North Carolina, Mass, Pa and Long Island.
