Yep I was at Tampa Airport and rental car guy there said a lot of Floridian youngsters are leaving Florida because of increasing cost of living while minimum wage is not going up
@buffycat4641 yeah but you used to buy cheap homes too. Not anymore because all these NY and California ppl coming here and will to spend stupid amounts for cheap homes. 😢
@@Morgan-zf3yz I don't blame her. I've lived here for almost 20 years, so it's hard for someone like me to leave because my family is firmly established here.
@@GabrielJanicki i can confirm that been living in long beach on the long island, weather has been mild in the winter havent seen snow at all yet past winters in awhile
Where do you live in PA that isn't humid after May? It ain't Florida humid, but it's still humid. When I lived in TN, some of my where thinking the humidity was probably extreme to me in the summer, I was like nah, it feels like August to me, little if any worse than PA. I bitch much less about it after spending a summer in Florida, got out of that oven, I mean kitchen...
I only lasted 16 months in Florida. But I moved to the wrong part of Florida, The Panhandle. Panhandle is Alabama. Now I am the happiest in Japan, so I guess Florida pushed me to happiness.
@@lavelleswrld6309 I have family in ORL/Tampa/Miami, so I was looking into being close, but not too close, when moving from Napa. Biggest mistake of my life 😂. Sold my new built home, cars, furniture and moved to Western Tokyo. Best decision of my life.
Shit, Japan is hotter than Florida these days but without the nice beaches and with even more old people. I’m happy for you but Japan has its way of wearing you down too once the honeymoon is over. Why did you leave Napa in the first place??
@@ShogunZIlla It’s as hot here. But it’s short lived and we have all 4 seasons, and mountains 😅. Wife and I are both retired military. We moved to Napa after 6 years of being retired in Wyoming. It was a sabbatical to recover our souls. Florida was our second attempt. Japan was a lifetime unreachable dream, But ended up being better than expected. Cost of living alone is 50% less than FL and there is way more to do here than FL.
@@GNMi79 Wife and I both retired, so no need to learn a full language. Both of us already speak 3 languages and we have no plans to learn a 4th. This week will be 1 year of moving and have zero regrets, and zero plans to live anywhere else other than maybe the Philippines, which we have been to 3 times already.
Florida is viewed by many around the country as a postcard. They don't realize there is so much more to it than just the beaches. If one were to move there they should explore all of it. They will then realize how off they were with their view of the state and may find what they didn't know about is a great fit for them.
@@SA-hz1rs Ah not accurate but thanks for sharing your experience. Crime more in Dem cities, Plenty of walking opportunities, Great weather most of the time and no snow, Orlando? Please. That's for mouse heads. But at least you proved my point.
In the Panhandle, we do have seasons. We also have teacher and doctor shortages, high property taxes, and just heaps of local government cronyism and corruption.
Born no, raised yes. The minute my family left Oregon for this hellhole (wasn’t born in Oregon, but spent my young childhood days there) I’ve never been happy. Theme parks are overrated, and the beaches suck
I have lived in Florida my whole life. I love it here. Real Floridians know where to live to stay away from the crowds tourists, and have peace. We know what beaches are beautiful and not crowded and you can drive on the beach. we know the areas that are less expensive to live. I live on an acre and a third. Over many years I have planted so many fruit trees that I have a fruit forest. All different types of fruit and have fresh fruit in my yard all year long. I can grow vegetables all year long if I want. I used to have chickens for eggs and meat when my kids were growing up. I don't bother now that I'm old and it's just me here. But I would never want to live in places that have snow. I don't like snow.
I moved to Fl as a teen and l lived there i into my early 30’s. Lived on Jupiter Island with my parents and then Metro West, and Avalon Park in East Orlando. Did building inspections from Tallahassee to Key West. Left and moved to Chicago after grad school . I didn’t realize I missed the seasons, a large city and a completely different culture. I know all the florida tips and rules , but after leaving i knew culturally it was not for me. I enjoyed my time at UCF , and owned a few nice pieces of property, but it wasn’t my bag . Snow doesn’t bother me as i have someone to handle it, and enjoy outdoor activities. Just a matter of preference for me.
@daveassanowicz186 I am disabled. Rather than make the long walk, up and down stairs to get over the sand dune, I can drive on the beach when the conditions are right and just pull my chair out and sit on the beach, or sit with my feet in the water feel the wind blowing across me. I go to a beach between Datona and St. Augustine. It is kind of remote and only few people ever go there. It is actually a beach that is maintained for vehicles. I take my car through the car wash after. Then I always make a day of it and go to a little Mom and Pop fried chicken restaurant on my wat home. I live about an hour and forty five minutes from the beach at the Atlantic side. Or If I want to go fishing I live one and a half hour away from the gulf to fish in a little fishing village. I live in a rural area in the middle and I absolutely love. Been here 29 years. I grew up in the Ft. Lauderdale area and I didn't like that. Got out when I was 35 and love it here.
I completely agree, I've been down here all 40 years of my life and lived everywhere from immokalee to space coast, there's a lot to love about the state so long as you know what to look for.
I've live in Florida for 40 years, since I was 15. I'm also a teacher. I'm leaving at the end of this month and following other family who moved to KY. The housing market here is about to crash, Blackstone, a huge corporation that buys up tons of houses is selling houses at a loss, dut to the difficulty getting hurricane and flood insurance.Thanks! Your videos are always interesting!
@@metropcs1976 More than the market, the prices, the heat, and the hurricanes are pushing me out. Also, every major home insurer has left the state and won't sell homeowners or flood insurance. If your house is destroyed by the next hurricane, tough luck! That's why people are leaving.
@@metropcs1976Prices going down means nothing if you can’t insure your house. Don’t go and put solar panels on your house without letting your insurer know in advance, and sometimes they’ll try to drop you regardless.
Floridian here (Tampa). Between the heat and the rain, every day this summer has felt like stepping outside and into a sauna. Just my luck my car’s A/C decides to go out at the beginning of July. 😓
The people are terrible too. Born/raised and it’s sad just how angry and filled with the hatred the state has become. It wasn’t like this 20 years ago.
@@Cruxis_AngelLeft in 1977. Southern hospitality back then. Now the people are demonic. Called me a damn Yankee and vote red. Slashed my tires and told me to go home.
I lived in Florida for a solid 15 years. I was in Jax for 3 years and Orlando for 12. While I enjoyed my time in Florida, it isn't for everyone and it depends on what you prioritize. If you are homebody, Florida is great - as long as you can afford the electric bill for running the AC 24/7 for most of the year (yes, even in winter) - keeping our 2900sf home in Orlando at 70F all year was about $800/month in the summer months and around $500 in winter. If I had to do it again and had the freedom to choose where to live (retired or remote work), I would go for a place within 5 miles of the coast. Any further inland, and it is just a hot muggy mess most of the year (March - October in Orlando). November - February can be nice to glorious. I'd also be a snowbird - travel or living a milder place form early-spring, through summer, until late fall. Hurricanes are only a problem if you live near the coast - which is the only habitable part of Florida. It's a great state if you frequent the beaches and _really_ like theme parks. Bugs are a bigger problem than gators. Just don't swim in any open bodies of water - even natural springs. You have to watch out for cottonmouth snakes - they are aggressive and don't warn you and can swim. A White Christmas is a day at the beach in Florida. Insurance problems aren't limited to home owners - but also auto insurance. We moved simply because we wanted someplace different - mountains, seasons, and a place I could step outside and not instantly burst into flame - for us, that was Colorado.
My retired NYPD cop uncle retired there. He spent his days playing golf with his cop buddies who also retired to Florida. I went to Navy boot camp in Orlando in 1985. After I finished boot camp me and one of my ship mates spent a day at Circus World. One day in August when my platoon was in formation after lunch, we were hit with a surprise thunder storm. There we were, soaking wet, trying to maintain our military bearing.
Baldwin Park? I remember trying to figure out where the buildings from the old base would have been, and gave up because it was so different. I went to boot camp there in 1987; it's just a teensy bit different now.
@@UserHorologium My father and uncle were both military.. the NTC was a huge part of my life growing up. Nothing other than the VA hospital and Lake Baldwin are recognizable.
Thank you for mentioning Hurricane Michael. That was an adventure I hope to never repeat. Spot on with almost every detail, but I must mention that we actually DO have some cold weather here... and it's still humid... so it will creep into the bones. The cold doesn't last long, but it can be rough.
IDK I love it here, it's home - I love how alive everything is. There is always something moving, the wind, the nature, the adventure not for everyone but it's my home and I love it!
I lived in San Diego for 15 years and loved it, but it has been taken over by the crazy people (much like the rest of the left coast) and it's unaffordable now. The high cost of living was one of things that drove me back to Florida, which isn't cheap, but isn't insane like most of the coastal areas of CA. I live in a major metropolitan area, with water less than five miles away in two directions, at a cost that California can't touch.
@@UserHorologium I would never move to Florida! I don't believe in politics. Why move to Florida if you got California? Don't you know that Californa is more populated than Florida. Some people think Florida is the only state that is never cold, but California is a lot hotter than Florida.
I lived in south FL in the 80's when the Mariel Boatlift met the Cocaine Cowboy Era. Crime was a serious problem. I recently paid a visit to a few cousins who still live there; the place seems a lot calmer, but traffic can still get nuts! When I moved to PA in 1989, my auto insurance bill dropped by HALF!
Yup the flatness is awful. I moved from a Midwest state with hills and enough flat and moving to FL was incredibly boring. The high points were usually bridges.
It’s such a shame that decline of Florida, with the terrible weather, the high cost of any living, and many of the terrible politicians. It was once a nice place to visit, it’s too bad! 😢! Great job Briggs!
@@Orlando_Steveoh I definitely won’t move there you people have ruined a beautiful state with your racism bigotry and your ignorance I wouldn’t step foot in FloriDUM
I honestly don’t know another RU-vid channel that gives nearly as many disclaimers for negative comments as you do. I appreciate that so much that you actually read our comments man 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Southwestern Florida resident here… alligator danger is overrated by people who don’t understand how to co-exist. I’ve had them in my back yard and on walking trails. We’ve had 1 attack locally. About 2 AM a guy decided to urinate outside a bar that is near a retention pond. It didn’t end well. Just leave them alone and you’ll be fine.
People who can't make it up north love moving to Florida then complain it's not like where they left up north. They bring their mental problems, bad driving, drug usage, crime and other issues then blame locals. Florida was a vastly different place years ago. People were friendlier, calmer and just more relaxed. Now anywhere you go the first thing these new residents bring up is where they're from, why they "left a blue state", bring up politics or tell you why it's not what they thought it was. These new residents are entitled wackos that aren't even from Florida. They're from up north. As soon as they can't make it in Florida they move back up north and blame Florida. Old Florida was much better, not this new rich people I'm from NY crap they do now.
I’m from nyc and I agree with you. I would love to leave my state but I won’t . My have my friends and family and I would be miserable if I moved to Florida.
I would have been terrified! Wasn't there another huge sinkhole recently? I remember a huge one opened on the interstate in the 90's, down towards that way.
lived in Manatee County, Florida for a few years during the 1980's. It has great white sand beaches. Haven't been back since. Florida is so overpopulated now. I probably wouldn't even recognize Bradenton in 2024. I imagine the entire Tampa Bay Area is pretty big now. The humidity and heat were brutal. I like some change of seasons.
@@pdxmtngoat The area between the beaches and downtown haven’t changed a whole lot. Most of the expansion has been north of the river where I live and the eastern part of the county. The population of Manatee county was around 215,000 in 1990, it’s now a little over 450,000.
I don't like being sticky. Humid heat = sticky. Also if a state is driving out teachers and doctors, and insurance companies want to haul ass too.... that's not a good sign for the future.
The heat and humidity combo is why I left. Sweating 24/7 and being unable to enjoy being outside most of the year sucks! 3 showers a day couldn't combat it. However my skin was absolutely gorgeous when I lived there. Florida is lovely to visit in February. The beaches in the Emerald Coast/panhandle are my favorites.🏖
Been in Florida my whole life and so done with it! Still trying to find my way out and where to go. Nobody around me seems to understand why I wanna leave, good to know I’m actually not alone.
It's not the politics It's the high cost of insurance It's dying in a hurricane It's mosquitoes It's hot humidity There are a lot of reasons that people are leaving and it's not the politics
Exactly, I don't give a shit about politics, but the heat here, the rude ass people, and the crime are reasons why I want to get out and move to Virginia, also include corporational takeover.
“Makes the little fellow look distinguish though”, 😂😂😂. I spit out my coffee when I heard that. That is why I love your channel, not only do I learn things, but sometimes you really come up with crazy funny one liners.
I totally agree with the number one reason! I use to work for the state insurance and the problem really lies in with the replacement cost, that basically causes anything negative that happens to the roof, it’s basically a full replacement. It’s really really bad in the Miami area!
Great video! Florida's attractions are hard to beat, but the challenges you mentioned are real eye-openers. I'm curious about the other reasons why it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Looking forward to the rest of the list and your insights on life in the Sunshine State. 🌴🌞
We’ve been in Central Florida for over thirty years and now that we’re both retired, we can’t wait to move North. Even our adult children that now have College degrees can’t find decent paying jobs and buying a house is out of the question so they plan on moving out of state too. Florida just isn’t what it used to be when we moved here and it’s becoming increasingly unaffordable.
We love visiting Florida in the winter for two or three months. We stay in the St Augustine area where the winter weather is very comfortable but not hot. Daytime highs in the 60’s and 70’s , nighttime lows in the 40’s and 50’s. We’ve been considering buying but the home prices and insurance are at a peak so renting is the low risk option. Also, Florida grocery stores are very expensive and there is very little competition.
Florida's coastline is more than double what California's is. Comparatively, its very easy to find an empty beach. Lived in Caifornia for 4 years and Florida for 2 (so far).
I’ve ridden a bike in -6F temps in a snowstorm in the Rockies. Florida in January at 60F is the most miserable cold I’ve ever felt. Not to mention the home insurance.
@@yonkorobit's probably not a joke though, at -6 there's basically no humidity, a light jacket would keep you plenty warm. Here in Florida, the temperature can be between 40 and 60 for nearly two months and the humidity is still around 75% so you'll still be sweating if you wear a jacket, and then the wind will cut right through your clothing.
I'm a Florida native and I am still a kid and I was looking at everything about the state and I can see why a lot of people here in Jacksonville are leaving for Georgia. I can even see myself in Europe in the future.
I am a Florida resident here since 2022 and the political climate here is awful. Even as person that leans more conservative it’s nasty and it spurned on more by the local Republican Party. I just have to be honest about that. Florida used to be a fun and weird state a lot more care free, now it’s become a judgmental swamp. Yes Florida is expensive probably the 3rd or 4th most expensive state on the East coast. The power players in this state is trying really hard to turn this state into NYC south. South and Cantral Florida has seen real estate prices skyrocket with no end in sight. This is due to local government economic policies, not what is going on nationally. I believe a lot of this is intentional. I think there is a deliberate displacement of normal middle class people in Florida. This state is slowly turning into a playground for the extreme wealthy.
The bugs are a reason why I'm thankful that I live in western NY. As long as the stink bugs or carpenter ants don't find refuge in your home for the winter, all other bugs die when mid-late fall arrives.
I remember that day (I was in third grade). The Fort Lauderdale News (remember that paper?) ran a headline in the largest pitch typeface I ever saw about the first recorded snowfall in Broward County history. It melted before it hit the ground, but SNOW!!! I was in my 30s before I saw snow for more than a day (and in my 40s before driving in it), but I was over it fairly quickly. Olympia's snowpocalypse of 2019 (18 inches in four days, which brought the entire city to a standstill) was another of the deciding factors to move back to Florida. It may be an overactive sauna for nine months of the year, but snowstorms (or 34 degree drizzle, another Washington lowlight) is not an issue.
People don't seem to mind the high cost of homes and homeowners insurance. It's so pleasant and so much fun. You're always busy, getting out and making good friends ❤️ Sea food is the best.❤ It's living in paradise ❤
You are kidding…right? The insurance is about to run me out!!! When we moved in our insurance was $1700. Now? $5000. And that’s the state run insurance as any other is$6000.
I have lived here 44 years and all of these things mentioned can mostly be mitigated. Also, it gets 20s and 30s in the panhandle. I don't know who wears flip flops in that!
I’ve been living in Orlando since September of 2023. It’s alright for the most part, there’s lots of people who shouldn’t have drivers licenses around here. It’s also very hard to get a job here, the job market is extremely competitive. I have a trade school certificate in Medical Billing and Coding and I work in a mall department store because it’s the only place that would hire me after submitting over fifty job applications. I do however love how much it rains, and winter was perfect, it just felt like autumn the whole time.
@@LethaWolfStudios I’m busting your chops Was gonna ask ya for the Power Ball numbers . I wish I could relate to your job problem. I’m in my mid 50s and have literally had three jobs my entire life not counting the things I did in college.. I worked the same job for 23 years ( behavioral counseling) got burnt out and decided to go to culinary school. I’m in my mid 50s and had no problem finding a job as a chef and I absolutely love it . Don’t give up . Florida is amazing despite a few drawbacks and I’m in total agreement with you about the weather. I am weird. I love the heat and humidity. I love going to the beach. I love going to the springs I love boating, kayaking, canoeing fishing and camping.. you can’t do that stuff in November in Massachusetts. So yes, when people ask what I love most about Florida other than its natural beauty, it’s the weather.
The shitty driving issue mostly stems from too many driving cultures/styles clashing with each other. The elderly, West coast, Midwest, NE, and South America all drive vastly different and everyone’s pissed that you’re not how they’re used too.
I enjoy everything about the panhandle except the heat June, July, August (much preferable though to ice and snow November, December, January). And we do have seasons here, though not as differentiated as points north). For example, fruit fly season is in full swing at the moment.
Sucks!!! I could never live in a place without its 4 seasons, or at least short Springs, very short Summers, and much longer Falls and Winters... God, the more I hear about places like those, the more I love my beautiful Colorado.
Right after Brigg's "distinguished little guy" comment, I got an ad from USAA that started with, "If it's worth showing off, it's worth protecting" ...😅
As a person that was born and raised in Puerto Rico which is an US territory, I can understand the situation. I lived in Florida for briefly 1 year and is true. The salary is very low, the job market is not great and is easier when you love landscaping and tourism positions for the most part. Growing up in PR was tough do to low wages, the goods are expensive and small job market. Florida and Puerto Rico are super fun and there's a lot to do for entertainment. However, I currently live in a great suburd from the Cleveland, Ohio area and I have no regrets. My career success skyrocketed in a good way, great salary, the average house in Ohio is much larger than Florida and Puerto Rico houses for a bargain price and I am much better off financially. I do still love Florida and Puerto Rico and I do visit them often for vacations.
I've been to more than 20 countries on four continents and a fair number of US states. Florida is right at the top of my list of worst places I've ever been (it would be a sad, sweaty, drunken fistfight between Florida, Alabama & Mississippi, while Chile's Puerto Chacabuco dances around the melee, looking for an opening). Spent nearly a week there and it was absolutely miserable in almost every way. I don't want to visit it again. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live there. I know some folks love it. Good for them. I wish them well. "Go with the gods," as they say. But no thank you.
I was born in Miami Florida and lived there 27 years. Your clothes are always wet due to the humidity and forget keeping your hair looking fresh and clean. Critters are everywhere. Traffic is horrible. I call Florida the F word. Moved north 3 decades ago. Love it up north. Snow delights me! Keep my temperature at 66 year round! But a lot of the year is mild up north.
April to October, as a Floridian Alligators do NOT bother you . Never go swimming in lakes, rivers. Roaches and Palmetto bugs mean YOU are dirty or have cheap build. As a native, its very expensive to live here compared to lets say 90's, 2000's. Seasons? Two. Hot, and cold (January- March-ish) unless you are in the panhandle. Definitely lots of old people. But thats really a central Florida issue particularly. Sinkholes can appear ANYWHERE ANYTIME in central Florida. Its a pretty frightening thing but they are pretty good at filling them. Tourist centric can be fun but you ignore it after a while. Tourist are annoying for sure. Politics, is weird. Red places feel red and blue places, you can tell. The big cities are a mesh. Natural disasters is weather related. We dont have them every single year. But the regular thunderstorms can be as strong as tropical storms or stronger. Flooding is the main threat or beach corrosion.
I see a lot of hate in the comments. I'm glad I'm the opposite. I love Florida. I have lived in many places, including Spain, France, England, and Finland. For those who hate where they live, i recommend moving. I know it's hard, but once you find your place, you will be the happiest clam in the ocean. Everyone has different tastes and I guarantee you right now that you will find things you don't like anywhere you live, but the balance needs to be positive.
We had a roofer try to pull that on us. We canceled the AOB because they hadn't filled something out right so we were about to use that as our reason. We had valid damage, but felt weird when they seemed to be pushing. After researching, we backed out and filed with a local roofer, paid our deductible, and got a great new roof!
@@Orlando_Steve thanks . Ive added to the alumni network for UCF, as that school was a fantastic university. It launched my career, and im grateful for it. I still own a condo in Jupiter for my mom to live in, but that would not have been possible without the engineering program at UCF. I’m much happier where I am . It works for me. I married a rancher from the Dakotas. You have to be into that kind of life to love it, and its quite taste specific, but I LOVE it.
My sister lives in Florida and hates it. The last time I went to visit was in October, so it wasn't horrible, but South Dakota and Wyoming on the way back were a lot more pleasant.
I'm a Floridian and I love it. Not a fan of the politics but it's changing faster than you might think. (We've had enough of this 💩 show) Insurance is slowly getting better. As for as sinkholes I suggest you get a geologist to survey your property. The heat, well as my 100yr old mother would say"if you can't stand the heat say your a** outta the kitchen." Now you're forgot it's also golf cart central. (old people, get a f-ing Uber app) Tourist welcome but please know where you're going before you get the hell behind the wheel.
Florida has a lot of rude people. Mostly Long Islanders. The politics are extreme down there. Schools are crumbling by the governor's policies. Florida has a high teaching shortage. A lot of people in Florida are 65 and older. It's a good place to retire, but not a good place to grow up in. Florida isn't a good place if you're on medicare and medicaid! As a person who's favorite state is California, most of the people down there think it's all dirt and garbage. They don't understand that Florida has bad areas. California has both good and bad areas. When it comes to the West coast, people think of homelessness, and not famous people and young actors and actresses? California isthe most populated state because of the level of technology, jobs for cybersecurity, and entertainment industry. You also got majority of climates to choose from! Regarding Climate, Florida has been getting severe flooding and natural disasters! People see Florida as like the hottest state, it's not the hottest state.
Lived in South Florida for close to 60 years. Believe it or not when we bought our first house it had no AC and we got by just fine. That was when we were surrounded by green spaces, cow pastures, and fruit and flower farms. The heat start increasing as the green spaces disappeared and were replaced with concrete. Many roads were two lanes back then so no traffic, and nasty people screaming. FL back then truly was a paradise. The Republicans took control of the state in 2000 and it went downhill each year from there. I left for good in 2020, never to look back.
Briggs, in my effort to save you, Hawaii is the southern most state. As a matter of fact Brownsville, Texas (latitude 25/90) is slightly farther south than Key West (latitude 24/32) . I still understood what you meant. Good. fair, and almost completely accurate report.
Huh? Since when is Lat 24.54 (Key West) north of Lat 25.84 (the southern tip of Texas)? All of Florida south of Hialeah on the east coast and Everglades City on the west coast is south of the Texas southern tip. Might want to check your map reading skills....
I have had to live in Florida three times in my life (dad's job and husband's job). I absolutely hated the weather. 90F and 90% humidity from May-October, hurricane evacuations, decorating for Christmas in shorts, mosquitoes...the beauty of the state just wasn't worth it for me. Very glad husband changed employers and I won't have to live there again 🔥 ☀️ 🌧️ 🌴
Awesome video Briggs! And so many more topics that could be added. Born and raised in the Miami area, and I'm still here for another year or two. Nothing that made it popular back in the 60s 70s 80s or even the 90s is still a factor. Greed and the lack of any real leadership for many years has turned this into paradise lost. Hurricanes and sink holes are the least of the problem. Rising seas and the very possible prospect of no usable drinking water in many areas will be the end of the story. If want to experience it you really need to see it soon. Leadership in this state really doesn't care anymore.
I live in CA and a Bike solves all parking problems. A bike and a Surf or Body Board Backpack and park Far away and Bike in. No Problem. Easier to Bar hop too.
@@GNMi79 mahalo for the answer and your first hand experience. Yeah California is out of the question even if certain areas are Hawaii-like because the price to performance ratio isn't worth the investment when prices are almost identical in most things which is crazy because California is ON the mainland and it's almost as expensive as Hawaii.
@@daveassanowicz186 lol. That's very unfortunate then. Now I see why my born and raised state is so sought after and considered glorious. Only now that many ohana is gettin' priced out of paradise do we see what we've had all these many years.
@@StyleshStorm it’s the closest you’ll get as far as affordability and climate. If you’re looking to buy, prioritize a new roof and hurricane windows (it will save you thousands in insurance annually).
@@GNMi79 You’ve been to one City and speak like you know more about FL than anyone who has ever visited for Disney😂 I live on the gulf coast, still cheaper than any other fair weather state. CA is trash with double the crime rate and is SUB tropical.
I have lived here since 1985...as of new STATS...almost 50% of us are having a very hard time making end meet! I think it's higher...My roof was DAMAGED during IAN and my insurance co REFUSED to help! My roof WILL NOT MAKE it thru the next Hurricane! ALSO...I DO NOT believe in BOOK BANS!
What books have been banned? Removing age-inappropriate books from school libraries is not banning books; anyone can buy them (and in many cases, check them out from a municipal/county library). If it's that important to you for your children to have sex described to them (and illustrated, in some cases), then buy the book yourself and present it to them.
I live in Florida on disability and I can't afford rent. I have to live with my friend just not to be homeless. I paid $950.00 for a 4 bedroom with over an acre of land, that same house now goes $2100.00 a month.
