Floridas population has exploded in recent years, way too many people. Insurance costs out of control for home owners. Line ups at restaurants and traffic jams constant.
You can thank Florida’s wonderful governor for its drastic decline. DeSantis bends over for any lobbyist and offers all these incentives to attract businesses but there is still no decent paying jobs in Florida. He continues to collect all this tax revenue from all us baby boomers who retired there in last 10 years but he hasn’t done anything to ease congestion. Police protection is spotty at best if you live outside a major city. The schools are worse than they have ever been and are factories for filling a child’s mind with a bunch of ridiculous, rigid, oppressive political ideology. And you wonder why people are leaving??
Okay, first of all, politics is the #1 reason that people are FLEEING BLUE STATES to MOVE to Florida. Not a good start, folks. Keeping it real, here are the REAL reasons, in no particular order, why people are leaving Florida: 1. Unstable jobs and wages - It is not unusual at all to hear of people who relocate to Florida for one job, only to have to get one or more jobs after that, due to overall job instability in that state. Warm weather states from NC down, pay FAR LESS that the NYC tri-state area of NY, NJ, CT, where both salaries AND QUALITY OF EDUCATION, are the highest. 2. Bad Schools - Florida's public schools are notoriously bad, especially in areas where the curriculum is "dumbed down" in order to pass the minority students. Much like California, many upper class white families choose to home-school their children, so that they are better prepared for college and career. 3. Cost of Insurance - It's not just the hurricanes, but the FRAUDULENT claims filed after storms, which the Jews down in Florida LEAD THE WAY in, as well as the UNINSURED ILLEGALS - something else that the white residents of Florida are paying for, through the nose. 4. Hurricane weariness - See #3. There you have it - the top 4 REAL reasons people leave Florida.
If only 3% of the population identifies themselves as LGBT you have a very serious problem of LGBTphobia! So many people don't live their true selves because of the public humiliatoon, ridicularization and all the bad things that come from lies, cynicism and hypocrisy in the society. See how many people come here just to say bad things to people they don't know nothing about.
Statistics about gay only to define the pride community? Really? Can you say LGBTQIA+? The trans community is another issue? Seriously? Join the century.
Florida is a toilet. Unbearable heat, humidity, rain, hurricanes, sink holes, mosquitos, crime, rude people, overcrowding, traffic congestion, lousy to nonexistent mass transportation, endless chain stores, tourists, low wages and now a high cost of living.
We knew all these things when we decided to move here., so you lose a lot of credibility to say "Nobody is talking about" them. And Hurricane Helene killed a lot more people in North Carolina. So how'd it work out for those who moved there to avoid hurricanes. The insurance thing is also easy to sort out by picking a home out of the flood zones a good distance inland. You can be an hour from the beach and the big city, but pay close to 0.5% of the home value for insurance.
Why would anyone move to a part of the country that has hurricanes every year. The people rebuild and the media portrays them as courageous. I think they are just plain stupid. If the insurance companies stop insuring those areas, the people will move to safer places.
Vacationing in Florida is not the same as living in Florida; tropics, humidity, sky-high rents and disgusting service - the price for a really good winter (summer is complete crap) also worth mentioning - Florida is good for multimillionaires only (but not only Florida is good for multimillionaires), and for the rest of those who want it - it's just not a very convenient place to live. ;
I live in a modest home in the summer in Duluth Mn buy Lake Superior during the summer..even central Mn is extremely hot in July/August.I have a modest home in Tampa for the winters..The trick is to have a job that you can do in either place like CNA,waitstaff, remote employment..retirement $..
I don't believe in this lists.people who make this lists never visit them and don't know how they really are. .some of the data they use is outdated .they make some of these cities look like war zones but they are not. Miami Beach always draws lots of tourists , is always being renovated and is undergoing a construction boom on North beach so is Florida city , building lots of new beautiful communities
ANY STATE OVER RUN BY EVANGELICAL ZEALOTS IS "PURE" HELL FOR ANY GAY PERSON. THEY ARE THE BIGGEST LIARS AND HIPPOCRATES WHEN IT COMES TO ACTING LIKE JESUS !
I moved to Florida in 2000 after my husband died. My mom was in Florida and I wanted to be close to her. She died about 2003. I was glad I had those few years with her. But then in 2004 my home was in the path of the eye of hurricane Charley. The house was badly damaged. Insurance companies cancelled everyone’s home insurance within the first 3 days of the hurricane thinking they wouldn’t have to pay out for damage. But the Federal Govt told insurance companies they couldn’t do that. Despite the damage to the house and the fact that we had no water nor electric the mortgage and utility bills kept coming. They justified that by claiming that despite the fact that we had no service we were “ still attached to the utility system”. Luckily I’m a RN and still had a job and a paycheck. The effort to get homes fixed was a cruel mess. There weren’t enough builders, and the ones there were either fly by nighters that disappeared with jobs not completed after taking money or they did a crappy job. The builder I hired took the money and left the home unlivable. I lived in a FEMA trailer, a tiny one, for over 8 months. I eventually moved to a condo but the strain of trying to pay bills on 2 places became impossible. I eventually lost the house. I finally moved out of Florida never to return.
We moved to Bradenton, Florida, five years ago from Washington DC and love it; it's paradise here. As for hurricanes, just don't live near the coastal area! Sorry to hear some people don't like Florida.
I’m not interested in moving south. Long Island has 4 great seasons. I’ll take the really rare hurricanes that are nowhere near southern storms. If a blizzard ever hits I’m going brew a pot of fresh coffee and watch it come down. Looks like more and more people want to get away from extreme weather. Florida insurance has surpassed northern taxes. GOOD LUCK AND STAY SAFE.
